Memo on the death of Strom Thurmond:

He was a statesman, a soldier, and father, and a segregationist. I guess that sums it up. Bull, you say? There's more? Oh, you mean his candidacy for president as a Dixiecrat. Well what were Dixiecrats? Black-hating white folks? Of, come now what do you mean? Strom Thurmond was the first senator to hire a black staffer. See, that proves that Ol' Strom was alright! Thurmond voted for the Martin Luther King Holiday? Wow, what a uniter! What's that you say? Strom voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act. That can't be! You said that Strom was a statesman, a soldier, and father, and a segregationist.

Right, and he was also a racist! See the word racist isn't used much any more. The racists got mad when they were called "racist" and decided to go on the offensive. You know "race hustlers", "the race card", Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, and on and on. Now blacks are believed by whites to be the more racist. And they are right! Blacks are truly very racist against ..... The suspense is killing you isn't it? Black folks are truly racist against WHITE RACISTS!

Yes that's right, black folk hate white racists with a black racist passion. Maybe it was the Slavery thing, or Jim Crow, or Emmitt Till, or the death o Medgar Evers, or the failure to support black folk's equal rights. Hell, maybe it was the lynchings, Oklahoma City, Rosewood, or the killing of black soldiers in their uniforms. This is the legacy of the "Segregationist". So excuse me if I don't join the chorus of those who are now talking about what a great human being Ol' Strom was. By the way when asked whether he would change any of his past actions, Ol' Strom replied that he did what he had to do and had no regrets. What an American! Gotta go now. By the way, has anyone seen my copy of H. Rap Brown's autobiography? I'm feeling sort of "Militant!"
