The worst that can happen is you will not hear back from her , there is no harm in trying.But you best be able to sale yourself very well and be able to explain why she should reconsider her position of no interracial and consider you. | Why did Republicans support a White Racist like Jesse Helms? "Here are quotes by Jesse Helms himself. As you read them, bear in mind all those lovely quotes above, the ones about how he's a conservative champion, a fighter for conservative ideals, etc. They said it, not me. Like Matt Yglesias, I would have thought it was a completely unjust smear against conservatism to have said any such thing. [UPDATE: To be clear, what I would have thought was unfair was not to take him as a part of the conservative movement, but to think of him as an exemplary figure or a champion. END UPDATE.]
On respect for the President:
"Just days after Mr. Helms, a Republican from North Carolina, created a furor by saying that President Clinton was not up to the job of Commander in Chief, he told The News and Observer, a newspaper in Raleigh: "Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard.""
On race:
"From the beginning, Helms was schooled in the political device of using race to propel white conservatives to the polls. As news director for WRAL radio, Helms supported Willis Smith in his 1950 Senate campaign against Frank Porter Graham, the former president of the University of North Carolina. The campaign theme was that Graham favored interracial marriages. "White people, wake up before it is too late," said one ad. "Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races."
The campaign's further contribution to political notoriety was a handbill that showed Graham's wife dancing with a black man. (...)
But before long, Helms found his real calling as a nightly television commentator for WRAL in North Carolina, a post he held from 1960 to 1972. He blasted the "pinkos" and "Yankees" in Washington, and criticized King's inner circle of civil rights leaders for "proven records of communism, socialism and sex perversion." He railed against Social Security, calling it "nothing more than doles and handouts." (...)
In the 1972 race, pitted against a Democratic congressman from Durham, Helms used code words that enraged liberals. The congressman's name was Nick Galifianakis. Helms' slogan: "Elect Jesse Helms -- He's One of Us.""
And:
"Helms warned that, "Crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced."
He suggested that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist dupe and refused, even decades after King's death, to honor the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
He dismissed the civil rights movement as a cabal of communists and "moral degenerates."
As the movement gathered strength -- and as murderous violence against activists in particular and African-Americans in general increased -- Helms menacingly suggested to non-violent civil rights activists that, "The ***** cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights.""
A personal favorite, worth remembering when you read things about how courteous Helms was in person:
"When Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois became the first African-American woman to sit in the Senate, Helms followed Moseley-Braun into an elevator, announcing to Utah Senator Orrin Hatch: "Watch me make her cry. I'm going to make her cry. I'm going to sing 'Dixie' until she cries."
Then, emphasizing the lines about how "good" things were before the Civil War ended slavery, Helms sang "Dixie.""
And another:
"His disdain for people of color (exemplified by his "humorous" habit, in private, of referring to any black person as "Fred") continues to find ways of expressing itself. He is the Senate's most reliable opponent of any measure aimed at securing the rights or improving the conditions of African-Americans. In 1994, when Nelson Mandela visited the Capitol, Helms ostentatiously turned his back on him."
Humorous? Referring to any black person as "Fred"??
And (Helms himself, h/t Majikthise):
“ | As with Trent Lott, again, I find no inherent conflict in the Republicans’ support of Jesse Helms. This is in accord with the Republican Southern Strategy and that party’s efforts to attract racists and bigots to the Republican Party. It was a successful effort.
The Republican plan was to win elections and gain power by appealing to those who were disaffected by the civil rights legislation. The plan worked. |
