@WhatAboutClass Yup. Just like his support of a "long gun" ban was in response to black men arming themselves.
@WhatAboutClass Absolutely, didn't think this was in question.
@WhatAboutClass Joe Crespino’s Mississippi book uses that so well.
@WhatAboutClass Yes. It was Trent Lott who organized the event soon after he had been mentored by MS Dixiecrat William Colmer.
@WhatAboutClass Absolutely! Southern strategy all the way.
