No one is in a better position to identify things that are worse for black people than segregation than a white conservative.
Hey, they also like to change speeches to say that "the white liberal" was the one standing in the way of equality when it actually was "the white moderate".
Right, because the liberals were so much more eager to support abolition - oh wait, no they weren't. Blacks in the North were still treated horribly and deplorably prior to the Civil War.
I really don't know how to respond to this. Maybe because most abolitionists were white supremacists who wanted to ship freed slaves back to Africa?
