Evans & Novak , legendary political commentors, said the choice of Le May stopped Wallace poll surging when he spoke at a press conference, and said people should not " fear nuclear weapons !" They witnessed Wallace turn white: He knew it was a disaster.
@@OptimusRegis Wallace was not a racist. He was a segregationist at one point, yes, but he was only a segregationist in so far that he believed segregation was better for both races. Wallace said of his views in 1964 that “A racist is one who despises someone because of his color, and an Alabama segregationist is one who conscientiously believes that it is in the best interest of [Black] and White to have a separate education and social order.” He was an NAACP-endorsed candidate when he ran for Governor and was hated by the Klan. During his 1964 presidential campaign for the Democratic nomination, Wallace said that “Integration is a matter to be determined by each state. The state must determine if they feel it benefits both races.” In his 1971 inaugural address, Wallace said “Our state government is for all-so let us join together, for Alabama belongs to all of us-black and white, young and old, rich and poor alike.” He later repudiated all of his segregationist views in life and was opposed to segregation during his 1972 and 1976 presidential campaigns. In 1982, Wallace said of his former views “whether or not you’ve agreed with me at everything that I used to do-I know that you do not-I, too, see the mistakes that of all of us made in years past.” Wallace to the 1982 meeting of the SCLC that “I did stand, with a majority of White people, for the separation of the schools. But that was wrong, and that will never come back again.” Wallace was NOT a racist. At all.
@@PatriotMapper I was aware about his change of views in his later life, and I thank you for your detailed and thought-out response. I want to make clear though, segregation is intrinsically racist in the context of the U.S., even if a segregationist claims to, or in reality, doesn’t hate a certain race. This was the entire contention in Brown V. Board. African-Americans were (and still are, to a lesser extent), on average, in worse socioeconomic conditions due to generations of slavery, and Jim Crow, a separation of people on racial lines would’ve led to a great economic disparity between the two populations. One would have less economic clout and thus a lower quality of life. Furthermore, I believe it is advantageous to all people not to be separate, and this to be against American principle. America is a melting pot, not an ethnostate, and not an apartheid state. Electing Wallace in ‘68 would’ve been disastrous, perhaps not so much if it was a Wallace in a different year. I also think that state-level (rather than federally led) civil rights would’ve also led to a great disparity in the rights and quality of life in minorities across states. We still see that today, I think a Wallace presidency would’ve greatly exacerbated this.
@@OptimusRegis I agree that segregation was negative, but my point is that Wallace was never a racist. Regardless, I still believe that Wallace would have been a good President. He wouldn’t have prevented racial integration as President since he believed the matter to be one of state’s rights, but he wouldn’t have forced it upon states that didn’t want in, which I find to be preferable to what actually happened. As bad as segregation was, the federal government essentially astroturfed the civil rights movement to expand its own power at the expense of the Tenth Amendment. I’m a libertarian and find the decentralization of authority preferable. Furthermore, Wallace was a fervent anti-Communist and had a lot of laissez-faire leanings, but was much more concerned with the threat of Communism at home than abroad. He was opposed to the Vietnam War and made withdrawal a central theme of his 1972 campaign. I understand why you’d not like Wallace and you’re entitled to your opinions on the matter, I just personally believe that he would’ve made a good President because many of his views outside of segregation aligned with my own. Happy to see some open-minded discussion instead of just “Wallace bad” though :)
@@PatriotMapper I’m personally a social democrat; TR, FDR, and LBJ are some of my favourite presidents in domestic policy - so I suppose it’s mainly an honest difference of opinion. Nice discussion, sorry to open up with the “racist” remark - I meant it mainly in jest. Anywho, I respect your opinion though I find it antithetical to my own. 😅
Wallace was a product of his culture, and era. Whatever ones politics, he was a very sharp man , who was quick on his feet , thought things through, and accepted criticism, and defeat. He challenged LBJ in 64 Democratic Primaries , when nobody else dared to , and did well. He campaigned with verve ; never was insulting or personal. I surely would not of voted for him , but a dynamic figure , and character. His campaigns run cleverly , and dynamic; his money came from small donations. Was he singing this song ? The attempt on his life , resulted in a life of terrible pain, and misery. He was denounced his previous beliefs after that.

If only he did a little better in the polls he could've started a wave of Independent candidates that'd actually win seats in congress.

Q
God Bless Alabama Governor George Wallace!! What a great man! Separate but equal. We need him in 2024!!!
Get out of my country Johnny Reb!
No separate is not equal😐
A great leader. He was right
Really?
Best dem: George Wallace
Best gop: Jeb!
I recall his VP running mate was General La May, who wanted to nuke Vietnam. Old George recanted his secregationist policies in his later years.

Wallace was a product of his culture, and era. Whatever ones politics, he was a very sharp man , who was quick on his feet , thought things through, and accepted criticism, and defeat.
He challenged LBJ in 64 Democratic Primaries , when nobody else dared to , and did well.
He campaigned with verve ; never was insulting or personal.
I surely would not of voted for him , but a dynamic figure , and character.
His campaigns run cleverly , and dynamic; his money came from small donations.
Was he singing this song ?
The attempt on his life , resulted in a life of terrible pain, and misery.
He was denounced his previous beliefs after that.
