They want to pick and choose the facts which support their opinion and suppress the other facts. This has been especially true in the South. They don't mind reminding you of<br />the failings of LBJ and FDR and their "social programs" which lead to today's liberal chaos, but don't dare document the sheer terror and injustice pressed upon the African American community which naturally spawned distrust of whites. If you do you are race-baiting and fomenting division. Their point of view has been hashed and rehashed a thousand times and they never get tired or upset when we hear it again, but present one kernel of the WHOLE truth from our past and suddenly they get sick and tired of bringing up old events from a past "we ought to forget".

It's strange that when one sees clearly racist remarks and criticism of black activity and leadership you never see these same people concerned about race-baiting or "healing old wounds". It's obvious that there is still a need for publication of this very real history. If not, in a few days,these jerks will swear it never happened!

Having lived through the early stages of integration, then the mass integration over Christmas holidays, I can name a few towns that did so peacefully. I agree with Barbour's comments though, it was largely due to the Citizens Councils in towns where the CC consisted largely of downtown businessmen that the integration went smooth. It was,all about business and reality at that point.<br /><br />Too bad some of our Northern brethren didn't have Citizens Councils in their cities - maybe they could have peacefully integrated their schools in 1970 as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-11334630666766711472019-06-19T22:44:58.816-05:002019-06-19T22:44:58.816-05:00Both Mr. Mott and Mr. Kelly had told me that Yazoo...Both Mr. Mott and Mr. Kelly had told me that Yazoo City was perhaps the only municipality in Mississippi that managed to integrate the schools without violence. I asked Haley Barbour why he thought that was so. <br /><br />“Because the business community wouldn’t stand for it,” he said. “You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK. Where I come from it was an organization of town leaders. In Yazoo City they passed a resolution that said anybody who started a chapter of the Klan would get their ass run out of town. If you had a job, you’d lose it. If you had a store, they’d see nobody shopped there. We didn’t have a problem with the Klan in Yazoo City.”<br /><br />In interviews Barbour doesn’t have much to say about growing up in the midst of the civil rights revolution. “I just don’t remember it as being that bad,” he said. “I remember Martin Luther King came to town, in ’62. He spoke out at the old fairground and it was full of people, black and white.”<br /><br />Did you go? I asked.<br /><br />“Sure, I was there with some of my friends.”<br /><br />I asked him why he went out.<br /><br />“We wanted to hear him speak.”<br /><br />I asked what King had said that day. <br /><br />“I don’t really remember. The truth is, we couldn’t hear very well. We were sort of out there on the periphery. We just sat on our cars, watching the girls, talking, doing what boys do. We paid more attention to the girls than to King.”<br /><br />https://web.archive.org/web/20101222020016/https://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/boy-yazoo-city_523551.html?page=3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
