Lester Maddox and Jim Brown Get Into Heated Debate on Segregation - GMDino - 07-13-2019
One of the podcasts I frequently listen to touched on this and I was happy to see the clip online.
Former GA Gov Lester Maddox "debates" Jim Bown on the Dick Cavett show. 12/18/1970.
It is an interesting look into how some racist people perceive themselves and their "cause" even to this day.

In this clip an "offended" Maddox" demands an apology or he's leaving.

Fascinating. Segregationist Maddox doesn't know any white people who are prejudiced against blacks.
(Who's going to remind us he was a Democrat?)

ITS racists attempt to distract from their racism by pointing out other racists.

Nothing like posting a 50 year old clip to explain the mentality of today's racist.

I agree it is sad that 50 years later we still have racist that have that mentality.
Nonetheless I shared it because the podcast (very interesting btw) had played pieces of it and I found a look into the mind of a proudly open racist no matter when it was from.
