Knowing the history and something about the personalities involved, especially Harlon Carter, I tend to favor the Civil Rights explanation. I can remember white bigots being terrified that blacks would rampage out of control once the Civil Rights Act of 1964 removed all restraint. “It won’t be safe for a white woman to walk down the street!” was a popular refrain.
Yeah, the idea of a white woman enjoying the company of a black man and producing healthy racially mixed children is so much more terrifying than inbreeding.
