Leopards don't change their spots, Chuck

************************

I wasn't aware that Byrd was a leopard, or that the characteristics of
his personal, physical appearance were the issue. His statements in
1946 were reprehensible.
That doesn't mean that he was frozen in time and didn't evolve, along
with the rest of society, to a more tolerant attitude and a positive
appreciation of the differences between various groups of people. In
1946, a probable majority of white southerners empathized, if not
actively agreed, with Byrd's opinion. Look at the guy that's just now
up on trial for killing the civil rights activists down south in the
early 60's--- an entire community conspired to hide and protect him for
40 years.

You threw that old quote in here without a disclosure that it was 59
years out of date, and with a hope that some simpleton would conclude
it was something Byrd actually said about Rice.
Check the title of this thread.......who wrote that?
