My nephew is a typical southern Republican. Even though he was only 7 ears old when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act were passed, he cites them as the reasons why he is a conservative Republican. What he is, is a bigot; and I am ashamed of him.

In general, he does not give any lother reason. Sometimes, though, he talks about his "southern heritage." I have told him several times that I grew up in the same county as he did, and his "southern heritage" damned sure is not mine.
@wordywalt So the usual, just because.
That makes him 65 years old.
Bad ideas are dying off in our crowd.
Good thing too.

In 1968 after the killing of MLK Jr and the civil unrest I thought the same thing. Said to myself and others that thank goodness that in 50 years all these haters will be dead. Well most of them are, but replaced by crazier ones.
