Oh, yeah. We're such hate mongers that we voted Kennedy into office and do
our best to police our own dirty laundry. In June 1963, Alabama Gov. George
Wallace (Democrat turned Indepent) refused to allow two black students to
enter the University of Alabama. Kennedy called in the National Guard to
ensure the safety of the students and, later a televised speech, was
followed a week later with a proposed Civil Rights Bill to Congress.

BUT... let's just face it. Racists or bigots exist in every political party
in some form or another; these issues are not a partisan matter.
