Entry: Jesse Helms (1921-2008) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/jesse_helms_1921_2008#31887 Post contents: Or this: "when Martin Luther King and the nonviolent protesters of the 60s were trying to secure basic rights, Helms, in between denegrating King's followers as communists and "moral degenerates," was busy asserting that "The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights."" When Carol Moseley Braun was elected to the Senate, Helms would sing Dixie in the elevator whenever saw her, with the intent, as he told Orrin Hatch, of making Mosley-Braun cry." <a href="http://www.ta-nehisi.com/2008/07/why-are-there-no-black-republicans.html">[SOURCE]</a> Sent at: 2008 11 20
