George Wallace, Democrat Alabama Governor, ran in '68 as an independent and was chastised for folks' perception that he was racist. He may or may not have been.

Yes, what a mystery. Here is a quote from Wallace, but I can't figure out what it means: "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever."

The governor was first and foremost a politician. He did and said what was needed to get elected.

LBJ said and did a lot of things early in his career. As he became powerful in the Senate he changed. When he was POTUS he changed even more.

I remember a large number of Black folk speaking out in defense of Wallace. Was he racist? Hell, I don't know. By the quotes you can dig up and actions you can point to, he may very well have been. On the surface it's damning. Was he doing it just to get elected? I don't know. I'm not the one pointing fingers. I simply made a comment and you chose to highlight it.
