[@joshuagrover795]

George Wallace epitomised racial segregation throughout the early part of his career especially his now infamous speech 1963 inauguration speech during his first term as Governor of Alabama with the words: "In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." However, depending on your point of view and whether he was ever sincere in what he said publicly Wallace's views on racial equality did change to the moderate side during the 1970s and 1980s during his three and fourth terms, to be elected for four terms as Governor of Alabama must have meant that Wallace must have had qualities that appeal to different racial groups especially during the 1980s.

Only if by that you mean he warned us about white fragility and grievance. The violent reaction of 1/6 to losing an election and trying to violently overthrow democracy; the seeds of that were definitely there among the KKK and neo-Nazis that supported Wallace. The funny thing is that he made a conscious decision to appeal to that element to become governor after his defeat in 1958. He tapped into the angry backlash against the nascent civil rights movement of the 1950s to appeal to those who felt white supremacy was being threatened. In his earlier years he avoided it and in his later years he abandoned it, but in the 1960s, very few were better than he at tapping into it.

[@blakesutherland519]

@@ernestodelaserna9494 Given that blacks only account for 12% of the total US population but make up half the people on TV, I'm honestly tired of hearing about it. If whites were killing blacks at the rate they're killing each other, it would be labeled a genocide by every international human rights Organization on Earth. Not to mention, blacks are the least educated group in the US. Which could be why they place such a high priority on superficial symbols like flags and statues while ignoring the fact that their kids are killing each other in the streets. Sorry dude. I believe in equally for all but I'm so sick of hearing black folks whine. If Asians, Latios and other minorites can climb up in America while facing the same bigotry as blacks, there's no excuse. In fact, the fact that illegal aliens are more productive than blacks says everything. Blacks will stay on the bottom until they stop killing each other and learn how to graduate a majority of urban blacks out of highschool. I honestly don't see that happening.

He was a bigot and a racist and you are a fool if you think otherwise. However HE DID CHANGE: In 1972, he made a run for the Democratic presidential nomination, during which he publicly apologized for his previous segregationist views and actions. He expressed regret for the harm caused by his stance on racial segregation and sought forgiveness from African Americans. Wallace continued to evolve in his views on race throughout his life. He appointed African Americans to positions within his administration and made efforts to improve race relations in Alabama. He publicly renounced his past actions and expressed remorse for his role in promoting racial division. Although it is important to acknowledge and reckon with the harm caused by Wallace's segregationist policies, his later attempts to change and seek reconciliation illustrate a significant transformation in his outlook. While the extent of this transformation and the sincerity of his apologies remain subject to debate, it is clear that Wallace's views on race and segregation evolved over time.

I've always believed Governor George Wallace to be very charismatic and an able leader. I have read that Governor Wallace received some of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy's blue collar vote as Campaign '68 continued after Senator Kennedy's tragic assassinstion.

Wallace, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Governor Ronald W. Reagan, in 1968, held firm in what they advocated. Interestingly, George Wallace's entry into the 1968 Presidential Campaign on February 8,1968, as an American Independent Candidate, and strong showing in the November 5,1968 General Election infuriated President Elect Richard M. Nixon. Wallace's entry made the '68 Election much closer. In 1972, Governor Wallace, again, entered the Presidential Primaries running as a Democrat and won a few Primaries but was tragically shot at a campaign rally in a Maryland Shopping Center parking lot after making a campaign speech. Had Wallace received the Democratic Party Presidential Nomination, he would have been a much stronger candidate against President Richard Nixon. There were rumors, in some quarters, that President Nixon could have orchestrated the shooting. He never forgave Governor Wallace for running in '68 and knew he would have a tougher campaign facing Governor Wallace in the General Election in November 7,1972.

25 Now when Festus had come into his province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesare′a. 2 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they urged him, 3 asking as a favor to have the man sent to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him on the way. 4 Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesare′a, and that he himself intended to go there shortly. 5 “So,” said he, “let the men of authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them accuse him.” 6 When he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesare′a; and the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought. 7 And when he had come, the Jews who had gone down from Jerusalem stood about him, bringing against him many serious charges which they could not prove. 8 Paul said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended at all.” 9 But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?” 10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried; to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you know very well. 11 If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death; but if there is nothing in their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.” 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with his council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you shall go.” Festus Consults King Agrippa 13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Berni′ce arrived at Caesare′a to welcome Festus. 14 And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a man left prisoner by Felix; 15 and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews gave information about him, asking for sentence against him. 16 I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any one before the accused met the accusers face to face, and had opportunity to make his defense concerning the charge laid against him. 17 When therefore they came together here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed; 19 but they had certain points of dispute with him about their own superstition and about one Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive. 20 Being at a loss how to investigate these questions, I asked whether he wished to go to Jerusalem and be tried there regarding them. 21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until I could send him to Caesar.” 22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I should like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” said he, “you shall hear him.” Paul Brought before Agrippa 23 So on the morrow Agrippa and Berni′ce came with great pomp, and they entered the audience hall with the military tribunes and the prominent men of the city. Then by command of Festus Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer. 25 But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you, and, especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. 27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.”

At 19:30 federal law does NOT permeate down to school districts and the like. 10th amendment applies here. School policy is a residual power and hence rests with the state. The understanding and or willingness to comply with basic constitutional law in the 1960s was wanting.

[@bradleyholt9805]

Except those states were not separate but equal when it came to the funding of the two school systems and their respective infrastructures. Consequently, those of the group getting short shrifted, as humans frequently do to one another to maintain Earthly power, are highly likely to remain the underclass serving the others even though their hard working tax dollars are going to the collective pot

[@MasterWooten]

@@bradleyholt9805 Still it doesn't change what the 10th Amendment to the constitution says. The fact is if and when the feds were to act in that fashion, said action will be challenged and will not survive constitutional scrutiny. Public actors can't simply do what they want in trying to address an issue wherein they have no authority to do so.

[@MasterWooten]

@@bryanrendleman2001 Nothing in federal law says that all districts must receive the same amount of funding. That is both impossible to enforce and impractical given the fact that different districts have different needs. That is NO WAY is a condition for receiving federal funds as it would NOT survive constitutional scrutiny. The feds can't tell states how to fund their various school districts. They NEVER do this. Try again!

@@deathmetalderro Funny how you clearly ignore the many speeches of his (in his presidential run and others) where he rails against liberals.

What Buckley believed was irrelevant, what only matters is how wallace actually was.

Up until minute 13, he was doing okay, but having been to Selma and Birmingham and met people who were relatives of those killed on those areas (including the Birmingham church bombing), he is using false equivalency and pretzel logic in the 13 to 15 minute mark. Now when he said "we would obey the law" (19 minute mark), Kennedy sent the marshals to Alabama in 1963 because Wallace was breaking the law when it came to segregation of the University of Alabama. With that said, he made sense in his remarks about Vietnam.

[@billywilliams8753]

Very good point

[@Littlewing1977]

The "Federal" Government has no authority over local domestic State issues. Yes I know they have usurped powers never granted by the original compact between the States and the "Federal" or as Jefferson called it "General government. Jefferson made it clear in numerous letters to Supreme Court justice's and other people that the States were Supreme when it came to matters inside their own state and between their own citizens. The Feds only had supremacy when it was a matter between citizens of different states or if the people were from another nation. Feds had supremacy on what would be legal currency and foreign matters.

He didn't. I've seen the interviews as well. Everyone translates the fact that he apologized that his views hurt people into "I'm sorry, I didn't agree with what I said". Also, if you're just now surprised that politicians in general, will change their minds to appeal, then you gotta stay out of the political realm. With that being said, everyone has the right to change their minds, even though he really did not.
