What do you call the death of a Right Wing conservative racist??
........... A bit nicer day!!
Here is why:
"Crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced."
Senator Jesse Helms
"All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction."
Senator Jesse Helms
"Homosexuals are weak, morally sick wretches."
Senator Jesse Helms
"The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights."
Senator Jesse Helms
"To rob the Negro of his reputation of thinking through a problem in his own fashion is about the same as trying to pretend that he doesn't have a natural instinct for rhythm and for singing and dancing."
Senator Jesse Helms
............... but don't just take my word for it .....

If nothing else, Helms was emblematic of some of the thinking of the 1950s and '60s.
Lester Maddox, with his axe handles,
was like Helms and let's not forget
George Corley Wallace.
Fortunately their days are past and they're relegated to the museum of period curiosities and anachronisms.
Condolences to his family and rejoicing in the heart of the real America.
