I started by asking you

Where are you getting that from?

Literally the first thing I asked you because what you were saying contradicts what I've heard about Huey Long. Maybe I'm wrong about him, and I'm willing to amend my views if I am! You can't just expect everyone to come into the world with your same perfect level of understanding on every topic.

HE RAN AGAINST PEOPLE WHO PUBLICLY CONDEMNED THE KKK.

Fuck it. https://sci-hub.se/https://www.jstor.org/stable/4232958

Okay, I haven't read that link yet, but why didn't you just lead with that when all I did was ask you some questions? Why do you have to YELL AT ME IN ALL CAPS

Oh okay, I guess the parents of the founder of the Black Panthers named their kid after a guy who was worse in terms of segregation than surrounding states for some weird reason.

His initial gubernatorial campaign uniquely amongst Louisiana politicians tried to both-sides the KKK. He refused to hire black people for any higher positions because then white people would have to use words like "Mister" to refer to them.

Sorry, but you can't make the claim that he was "He was literally, and I do mean literally, measurably worse in terms of segregation than surrounding southern states." and then support it with actions and words that literally any Jim Crow governor, and probably a fair number of non-southern governors, would have done in the 1930s.

Where are you getting that from? AFAIK, that's not true. He was one of the few Jim Crow politiicans who left aside race baiting rhetoric, and he had the support of the black population of Louisiana. Huey Newton was named after him.

I'm not saying the guy was perfect or a great hero or anything- his association with Coughlin speaks for itself- but he was more complicated than you're saying.

drinking enough water to have piss so transparent that you won't even know it exists when it comes out

Which genocide do they say we deny?

Sometimes it's like this and then California Dreamin' starts playing
