Lousy Miscegenating Communists
Skemono has a fine post on the communism-miscegenation connection. A taste:
In 1957 the Citizens’ Council serialized a “Manual for Southerners” which included this bit of rhetoric:
Our most famous Americans have believed in segregation. Do you think they did not go to heaven because Race-Mixers had not made them integrate? The people of the United States have always practiced Segregation. And their preachers did not believe they were sinful. Why is it suddenly sinful for us Americans to want to keep Segregation? If God believed in pure races, can’t we believe in pure races, too? Or should we believe the Communist Race-Mixers? They do not believe in God at all.
Read the whole thing etc.
