[Thomas Beckett <thomas AT tbeckett.com>]

This is interesting.  In a speech honoring Strom Thurmond on his 
retirement, Trent Lott lauded his segregationist run for the presidency 
in 1948.

"I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for 
president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the 
country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems 
over all these years, either."

I guess, in other words, that things would be much better now if we had 
kept those niggers down when we had the chance.

Or in Strom's words:  "I want to tell you, ladies and gentleman, that 
there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to 
break down segregation and admit the Nigra race into our theaters, into 
our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches."
