39. Why is he worried about black people all of a sudden?

Before, he said he would not be in favor of the Civil Rights Act and argued that private businesses have the right to discriminate against anyone they feel like discriminating against.

This sounds like the usual craven opportunism.

His dad was a shitty doctor (ob-gyn) in Lake Jackson, Texas, back in the 1970s and I heard about him.
