I am all here for VALID CRITICISM, but suggesting that Joe Biden - the man who literally ran for office against an incumbent at 29 because of the civil rights movement, the man who... Actively praising a segregationist is just a bad take and a willfully disingenuous act.
|
|
It is a core insight of one of Schmitt's finest current readers, Paul W. Kahn, in his books "Sacred Violence" and "Political Theology," that American politics often works in this way, as when African-American sacrifice during World War II was mobilized to broaden anti-segregationist consensus.
|
|
With the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 85033 and the IRS announcement in 1970 that it would no longer grant federal income tax exempt status to schools that racially discriminated, Bob Jones University began to search for a theology that would support its segregationist ideology.
|
|
While aides urged Mr. Biden to stop telling laudatory stories about segregationist colleagues in the hours after the news initially broke, Mr. Biden's anger about the criticism — he saw it as cheap shots — overrode the advice of the professionals he has hired to manage his effort.
|
|
It was also a bad sign, after Biden got in trouble for bragging at a fund-raiser about working with segregationist senators, that the candidate's advisers trash-talked him to The Washington Post, saying they had warned him to use a less toxic example of bipartisanship.
|
|
And it's time for the Senate to step in and uphold the dignity of Mr. McCain by taking up a proposal by the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, to rename the Russell Senate Office Building (named for a mostly forgotten segregationist and white supremacist) for Mr. McCain.
|
|
In the tumult of the 1960s, Alabama sent the avowedly segregationist George Wallace to the national stage; Tennessee gave America the eminently moderate Howard Baker, who was elected to the Senate in 1966, just two years before Wallace carried five Southern states in the 1968 presidential election.
|
|
"Some of these exclusions date back to objections from Southern segregationist politicians in the 1930s, who did not want these workers (in many cases, disproportionately women and people of color both then and still today) to have basic worker protections," Warren's campaign said in a statement.
|
|
He has had to defend his work with white segregationist senators and opposition to mandatory school busing programs aimed at desegregation in the 1970s as well as his championing of criminal justice legislation in the 1990s that sent black people to prison in disproportionately high numbers.
|
|
Many black Republicans and their families have personally experienced racism — and in some cases witnessed violence perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan and other supremacist groups that lynched thousands of people, beat and murdered civil rights marchers, and supported segregationist policies that held African-Americans back.
|
|
In dramatic contrast to the original connection with a message of tolerance, in the late '60s the segregationist politician Lester Maddox claimed the song as a personal anthem, and in the '70s it was used by right-wing activists opposed to school integration and public housing.
|
|
In this country, the nominally class-based politics of the New Deal fractured when working class non-college whites felt abandoned by a Democratic Party that shed its pre-civil rights, segregationist southern wing and that by the 45.13s had adopted a culturally and racially liberal agenda.
|
|
Cory Booker had one of the best weeks of his campaign last week as he got into a back and forth with Biden over comments the former vice president made in which he seemed to paint his work with a former segregationist senator -- James Eastland -- in a positive light.
|
|
Campaign 25 Night No. 227 of the Democratic debates in Miami will be remembered for one moment: A remarkable exchange between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden in which the senator blasted the former VP for his recent remarks defending his work with segregationist senators and his record on busing.
|
|
Harris re-upped the federal busing attack that was so effective for her in the first Democratic debates in Miami, saying that if the segregationist senators Biden worked with decades ago had their way he never would have been the vice president for the nation's first black president.
|
|
Once and future Alabama governor and arch-segregationist George Wallace was mounting a credible third-party run on the American Independent Party ticket, and Humphrey also invoked Wallace's running mate, Air Force general Curtis LeMay, a mad bomber who had just suggested using nuclear weapons to end the war.
|
|
Harris catapulted into the top tier of Democratic presidential contenders after an exchange with Biden at the first Democratic primary debates, when she called his remarks about finding common ground with segregationist senators "hurtful" and attacked him for opposing a federal busing program aimed at integrating schools decades ago.
|
|
Harris, the only African American candidate on the debate stage Thursday, told Biden on that she was personally offended by his recent comments reminiscing about working with a pair of segregationist senators in the 1970s — not just because of their views, but because of the content of the work.
|
|
And like the Confederate monuments across the South whose construction spiked under Jim Crow, Confederate imagery made its way most fully into Ole Miss fandom, from the Confederate flag to the adoption of "Dixie" as the unofficial fight song — in 19083, as the segregationist Dixiecrat party was ascendant.
|
|
Before he knew it a private detective, with the help of several passengers, had dragged him off the train, put him in handcuffs and charged him with violating the 225 Louisiana Separate Car Act, one of many new segregationist laws that were cropping up throughout the post-Reconstruction South.
|
|
Harris takes on Biden Booker and Harris had been critical of Biden in the run-up to the debates, after the former vice president and longtime senator from Delaware recalled his time working alongside segregationist colleagues in the 1970s with, as they described it, tone-deaf and overly romantic language.
|
|
Kamala Harris of California turned Biden's long-held opposition to busing — and his fond recollections of working with segregationist senators — into a searing attack during the first Democratic presidential debate, raising her own experience of being bused as a child in Berkley, California, to an integrated school under a voluntary program.
|
|
The debate followed a week in which Booker called on Biden to apologize for expressing nostalgia about working civilly with segregationist senators; unveiled an ambitious clemency proposal to address racially biased prison sentences; and slammed Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell for dismissing the notion of reparations for descendants of slaves.
|
|
George Wallace, the segregationist Democratic governor of Alabama who ran for president in 1964 in protest of Lyndon B. Johnson's turn toward civil rights, performed well not just in the South but also in white blue-collar enclaves in the few Northern states where he was on the primary ballot.
|
|
Mr. Bains's raw, guitar-driven music challenges listeners to "come to terms with the wages of sin" that he's grappled with since he discovered, as a child growing up in Birmingham, that his family attended the same Methodist church as Bull Connor, the city's brutally segregationist commissioner of public safety.
|
|
The attitude was summed up in a (possibly apocryphal) quote from Michael Jordan in 1990, when the basketball legend, marketing his eponymous sneakers with Nike, reportedly refused to weigh in on a Senate race in his home state of North Carolina between a black North Carolina Democrat and a segregationist incumbent.
|
|
She was also forceful in her criticism of Mr. Biden, who served as vice president to the nation's first black president but who drew intense scrutiny a week ago for expressing a willingness to work with lawmakers who have different views — a group that at one point included segregationist senators.
|
|
Harris had surged to second place nationally in a CNN/SRSS poll and a Quinnipiac University survey after an impressive performance at the first Democratic primary debates in Miami at which she was critical of Biden for his record on federally mandated busing and recent remarks about working with segregationist senators.
|
|
Overall, Perot's trajectory is consistent with other minor-party campaigns (The New York Times has a good visualization of this.) In 363, third-party candidate George Wallace, who ran on a segregationist platform, won 14 percent of the vote on Election Day, despite polling around 17 percent a few months prior.
|
|
In fact, Lott, who resigned from his leadership position in disgrace after praising segregationist Strom Thurmond's run for president, left the Senate early in part to avoid the recently passed Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, which would have prevented him from lobbying for two years after leaving the Senate.
|
|
Confrontation with Biden The highlight of Harris' month came when, before more than 18 million Americans watching the primary debates, the California senator unloaded on Biden, lambasting the race's frontrunner for his decades-old fight against busing to desegregate schools and comments about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators.
|
|
Strom Thurmond ran for the presidency as a segregationist, into the civil rights era in the '60s, when South Carolina reacted to a Supreme Court decision that struck down segregation on public transportation by embracing Jim Crow more tightly and lifting the Confederate flag to a place of pride above the state house.
|
|
In the recent debate, Mr. Kasich also name-checked Senator Strom Thurmond, the onetime segregationist presidential candidate from South Carolina who left the Senate at age 100 in 2003, and waxed about balancing the budget with former Senator Pete Domenici, the New Mexico Republican and former Budget Committee chairman who departed in 2008.
|
|
Cory Booker: The New Jersey senator has been, without question, the most outspoken critic of Biden in the race to date -- demanding Biden apologize for seeming to praise a former segregationist senator and then getting into a long back and forth with the former vice president about whether such an apology was needed.
|
|
The match-ups mean Biden, much like the first debate, will be the center of attention, drawing fire not only from Harris, but also from Booker, who has also shown a willingness to slam the former vice president for comments he made about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators.
|
|
The survey resembles drops Biden has seen in other statewide and national polls since his faulty debate performance in June when he was confronted by Harris about his comments about cooperating with segregationist senators during his time in Congress and past opposition to federally-mandated busing as a way to integrate schools.
|
|
Though a hot mic could have been to blame, Biden certainly didn't take long to use a condescending moniker—just weeks after being critiqued for saying that a segregationist senator "never called me 'boy,' he always called me 'son,'" invoking what many, including Booker, considered to be a reference to a racist term.
|
|
One of his country's founding figures and a leading force behind the formation of the British Commonwealth, the League of Nations and the United Nations, Smuts helped shape the emergence of the post-World War II liberal order — even though, all the while, he helped craft segregationist white rule in South Africa.
|
|
But Mr. Trump's decision to support Ms. Hyde-Smith, a newcomer to national politics who was appointed this year to her Senate seat by Mississippi's governor, is perhaps a surer bet than his effort to fortify Mr. Moore, among the most controversial Alabama politicians since the segregationist George C. Wallace was governor.
|
|
" And former Representative John Delaney of Maryland said in a statement: "Evoking an avowed segregationist is not the best way to make the point that we need to work together and is insensitive; we need to learn from history but we also need to be aggressive in dismantling structural racism that exists today.
|
|
During the interview, Harris also was pressed about her widely-praised confrontation with former Vice President Joe Biden at last month's Democratic primary debate, during which the California Democrat called him out over his decades-old fight against busing to desegregate schools and comments about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators.
|
|
Sumter, South Carolina (CNN)Joe Biden in a speech on Saturday invoked his time as vice president to Barack Obama to mount a vigorous defense of his record on issues of race and also apologized for comments he made last month about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators in the 2000s.
|
|
Harris, in a blunt, pointed attack that mixed her personal story and race, took Biden to task for his decades-old fight against busing to desegregate schools and comments about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators, two stories that have hounded the recent weeks of the former vice president's campaign.

Visit CNN's Election Center for full coverage of the 2020 race The Biden-Harris relationship was tested during a fiery primary campaign, especially when the California senator pointedly went after the former vice president for his decades-old fight against busing to desegregate schools and his comments about his ability to work with segregationist senators.
|
|
To the Editor: Re "Segregationists in Biden's Past Set Off a Clash" (front page, June 20): The comment made by Joe Biden in which he referred to his collegiality with Senate colleagues early in his career could well have been made without specifically naming the egregiously segregationist Senators James O. Eastland and Herman E. Talmadge.
|
|
But the food-fight moment was only, well, table-setting for the moment of the night, when she turned to the poll leader, former vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr., and challenged him for reminiscing about working with segregationist senators and for his past work opposing busing for school integration, making the issue personal.
|

J. Kirkpatrick for The New York Times HAYMARKET, Va. — Speaking to a racially mixed audience in August 2016, Corey Stewart, the far-right provocateur who won the Republican Senate nomination in Virginia last week, hailed the renaming of a middle school to honor a local black philanthropist instead of a former governor with segregationist roots.
|
|
" At the word "persisted"—a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's rebuke to Warren for denouncing the segregationist past of Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump's first attorney general—the room broke into such loud cheers that you could barely hear the candidate's final words: "This is our chance to change the course of American history.

For Biden, the most experienced debater in the field, Thursday is an opportunity to steady the ship after a series of rocky moments that included a flip-flop on his abortion position and the controversy over his remarks about working with segregationist senators decades ago in the interest of civility and getting things done.
|
|
The reaction to Mr. Biden's comments Tuesday at a New York fund-raiser, where he cited his ability to work with Mr. Eastland and another segregationist senator, Herman E. Talmadge of Georgia — "he never called me 'boy', he always called me 'son,'" Mr. Biden said of Mr. Eastland — appeared more personal than policy-driven.
|
|
The fear among Republican leaders here is that a smashing victory for Mr. Trump would say more about the party, and about the state, potentially undermining South Carolina's image as a more welcoming place that is no longer defined by figures like Strom Thurmond, the former segregationist presidential candidate who served in the Senate until 2003.
|
|
Biden told CNN in an exclusive interview that aired Friday that his stance on busing was taken out of context, and during a campaign speech Saturday, he apologized for the comments about working with segregationist senators and leaned heavily on his experience as vice president to Barack Obama to defend his record on issues of race.
|
|
It was the coded message in Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again" embodied in his stigmatizing of Hispanics as rapists and Muslims as likely terrorists, his dog whistles to white supremacists, his mainstreaming of blatantly racist language previously confined to the margins of American society and last heard at the national level in George Wallace's segregationist campaign in 1968.
|
|
On November 5, in one of the closest presidential elections ever, Nixon won with 43.4 percent of the vote in a three-way contest with Humphrey, who received 42.7 percent of the votes, and a third-party candidate, the Alabama segregationist George Wallace (13.5 percent.) Nixon's actions were not "treason" — South Vietnam was an ally, not an enemy.
|
|
Harris opened her salvo by noting that Biden had spoken fondly of working with segregationist senators on issues, then segued into the observation that one of the issues he'd worked with them on was opposing federal busing programs — something she said she found personally hurtful as someone who benefited from such programs as a young girl.
|
|
Judging past behavior by today's standards After years of protest, Confederate flags, seen by many as an embrace of the South's segregationist past and little else, finally came down from a number of public venues last year—but only after broad consensus in the wake of the massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

The president demonstrated a close familiarity with a dramatic exchange on Thursday between Senator Kamala Harris of California and former Vice President Joseph R.

By contrast, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is set in 1968, and awash with all the cultural anxieties and social issues of the era: racism and white supremacy, controversy over the Vietnam war and the draft, and the fraught politics of a presidential election year in which a segregationist won 13 percent of the vote.

The second book traces the formation of the modern American welfare state in the Roosevelt administrations of the 1930s and '40s under the influence of a segregationist white Southern Democrat plurality in the House and Senate, who were concerned that New Deal programs would undermine the racial domination of the blacks in the South by empowering them.

He seemed very liberal on civil rights, for instance, but Julian Bond wouldn't endorse him; he was a final and Southern rebuke to segregationist George Wallace, but he'd shown a little friendliness to Wallace years before; he hadn't opposed the Vietnam War, but called it a racist war in 1976, fought by those who couldn't afford to evade the draft.

To explain these differences, Jones pointed to historic divisions between these camps in both geography (mainline Protestants tend to be clustered in the Northeast; evangelicals in the South) and positions over race issues (many mainline Protestant churches were deeply involved in both the abolitionist and civil rights movements, while many Southern evangelical churches had roots in pro-slavery and segregationist causes).
|
|
It's not hard to compare that segregationist backlash to what's happened over the past couple of years: As our country moves toward being majority minority, our first black president finished up his last term, and more and more marginalized groups are asserting their voices and rights, there emerged a powerful movement of racist, sexist, anti-Jewish, and anti-Muslim white nationalists.

Trump counties include places that have voted for both Republicans and Democrats, and the strongest predictors of Trump support include how a county responded to two very different third-party candidates: Trump territory showed stronger support for the segregationist George Wallace in the 1968 election than the rest of the country, and substantially weaker support for the liberal-leaning former Republican John B. Anderson in 183.

"I think that makes Atticus Finch all the more interesting and relevant to our own day, because we can see how Harper Lee was writing in this period of militant segregationist politics in the late 1950s, and trying to make sense of her father's heritage, her father's political conservatism, at a time when the reactionaries were in the driver's seat in Southern politics," Crespino says.

A 1946 drawing, "The Return of the Soldier (Dixie Comes to New York)," illustrates the segregationist violence visited on black veterans of World War II.

Biden, on the ropes as he's rarely been in half a century of public life, snapped his head towards Harris in disbelief as she said, "Vice President Biden, I do not believe you are a racist..."

Now, in light of the present, Boot sees rot on the right that has been there from the start — in William F. Buckley's pro-segregationist editorials in National Review, in Phyllis Schlafly's best-selling screed "A Choice Not an Echo," in Newt Gingrich's take-no-prisoners tenure as speaker of the House, in rabble-rousing talk radio shock jocks and above all in the polarizing and poisonous influence of Fox News.

Leaning heavily on the skills that made her so effective both as a prosecutor and as an interrogator of Trump nominees in Senate hearings over the past few years, she began quietly by alluding to the controversy that Biden stirred last week at a fundraiser when he noted that he had worked with segregationist senators in the 1970s and 1980s during what he framed as a less polarizing, more civil time in politics.

One of the points of the volume is that morality had become a carny show in a permanently Cold War America, a world where the idea of love was cheap but violence wasn't; a world where institutionalized care was a freak show, but George Wallace wasn't; a world where Baldwin's hope for a new Jerusalem sounded like a faggot joke next to the shrill bitterness of the segregationist judge Leander Perez, his face still but not silenced by his fat cigar.

The Great Migration had raised the city's black population from two per cent to nearly thirty-three per cent, but Chicago stood out for its innovations in what Ta-Nehisi Coates has described as "segregationist social engineering": the erection of isolated, homogeneous public housing; the racial panic fanned by real-estate agents who flipped houses for a profit; the covenants that barred white homeowners from selling to blacks; the practice of "redlining," by means of which banks refused home loans to blacks.

Goldwater's success in the Deep South, thanks to his opposition to civil rights, the popularity of George Wallace, the segregationist governor of Alabama, and rising public alarm about law and order and cultural change, bore fruit in the 643 election, when Richard Nixon grabbed millions of voters from the Democrats to build a "New Majority" of big-city Irish, Italian and Polish Catholics, and white Protestants from the South, Midwest and rural America, beginning a nationwide realignment of politics that is still playing out today.
