i can't say i look back on the lives of either george wallace or strom thurmond and think they added to society.
but george wallace at least recognized the harm he did and spent the very latest part of his life trying to amend. and strom thurmond had the grace to mask his racism later in life.
jesse helms was (hopefully) the last of the unrepentant white racist national politicians.
defend him all you want. i'm glad his kind of politics in on the wane.
