lol.
Barbour is so funny in that first quote. 
Have you BEEN to the deep south? 
I was born there and have lived in parts of it. 
MOre importantly, I have visited small towns there. 
Towns where they have less than 1000 ppl, but have 2 hardware stores, 2 groceries, 2 dry cleaners, 2 garages, 2 shopping stores and all of them are next to the other. 
If you are white and Walk in on the left side, you will find out what it feels like to be discriminated against. THis is in nearly all small towns in the deep south. 
IOW, it remains DEEPLY segregated (and esp in the schools). 

Funny thing is, he is the type of person that pushes this.

and I note that in the article:

 These Democrats also happened to be the ones who fought desegregation, while also fighting their national party on almost every other issue.</quote>
