re: #43 jaunte

The political ruling class in the Mississippi Delta does have a history of defending its poor black labor force from the Klan-oriented populists in the rest of the state (see [Link: www.amazon.com…] for some of the history) but it was an extremely self-centered defense that had to do only with the planters’ economic power and not with equal rights.

Oh, so essentially… ‘Screw the KKK, we treats ayes n***** with rahspect!’

That’s pretty vile to even type it, and uber crass, but… say it ain’t so.
