A racist is one who despises someone because of his color, and an Alabama segregationist is one who conscientiously believes that it is in the best interest of Negro and white to have a separate education and social order. I am an Alabama Democrat, not a national Democrat. I'm not kin to those folks. The difference between a national Democrat and an Alabama Democrat is like the difference between a Communist and a non-Communist. Nobody in Alabama gets anywhere if he slants an election campaign to the racial issue.
Integration is a matter to be decided by each state.
The states must determine if they feel it is of benefit to both races. I have never made a derogatory remark about one of God's children and I never will. If I am elected, I am going to treat all fairly. And it is a sad day in our country that you cannot walk even in your neighborhoods at night or even in the daytime because both national parties, in the last number of years, have kowtowed to every group of anarchists that have roamed the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles and throughout the country. And now they have created themselves a Frankenstein monster, and the chickens are coming home to roost all over this country.
