(54,770 posts)Of course, when I was growing up, this guy ran for governor every election. Claimed he wasn't a racist (later he was finally convicted of bombing a Black church in Alabama). He often appeared in photos with guns, used for intimidation.
Big Jim Porter, new NRA President, reminds me of him.

"During his Senate campaign, the FCC ruled that television stations had to play his ads due to the fairness doctrine. His ads included the word "n*****." Stoner also ran for lieutenant governor in 1974 and the United States Senate in 1980. His best showing was 73,000 votes (10 percent) in his campaign for lieutenant governor in 1974, when he sought to succeed Lester G. Maddox in Georgia's second highest constitutional office. Maddox lost the gubernatorial nomination that year to former legislator George D. Busbee."

(805 posts)I'm not surprised since close to 90% of African Americans vote Democratic.
I'm sure if you took a poll in there 90% of them voted republican.
