Of course that's what you said. He ran as a Democrat in three elections. His association with the KKK widely known since it was part of the opposition against him.You're saying the Democrats figured out how racist he is but Republicans couldn't until they elected him.Nonsense. His background with the KKK was well known from years earlier. It was why Democrats rejected him in at least two elections. That was when he switched to the Republican party where he finally won one.And in your dishonesty you fail to point out, from the link, that your conclusion is not sound because it reads "While Espenshade and Radford -- in the book and in interviews -- avoid broad conclusions over whether affirmative action is working or should continue, their findings almost certainly will be used both by supporters and critics of affirmative action to advance their arguments. (In fact, a talk Espenshade gave at a meeting earlier this year about some of the findings is already being cited by affirmative action critics, although in ways that he says don't exactly reflect his thinking.)
Is he describing you, Correll?
Yes, very much so.
HIs data shows the Affirmative Action is, as I said, anti-white discrimination.
His personal views are irrelevant, except as it is impressive that he did not allow his personal political views to prevent him from presenting his data and findings honestly.
And getting back to the point, his findings show the "objective evidence" you requested, especially as I pointed out, the motives for this discrimination is universal in our society.
Duke could win as a Republican, yes, when he could not win as a Democrat, yes?
Once his background in the Klan was well known and he tried running again he was humiliated.
Less than one percent.
That is what happens to actual real racists in the GOP.
The way I remember it, the National GOP was shocked when they started dealing with him and realized what he was.
That was well after he won that state election.
GHWBush repeatedly made the point that Duke was lying about his past.
Duke's story was that he was born again and had repudiated his racist past.
Why do you think he claimed to have repudiated his racist past?, Even running in the Deep South?
Why do you think that after the National Party publicly disavowed him and ran against him, and worked to widely spread information on his racist past that he lost and never won again, even in the Deep South?
His past affiliations with the KKK were well known.
I did not say that.
This is what I said, of which you addressed nothing.

Democrats rejected him all three times. He then ran as an independent and was again rejected. He then ran as a Republican and won. According to you, Republicans aren't racist -- they're ignorant and gullible. They couldn't tell he was racist until they elected him. That's what you're saying.
