Darkness falls on the nation. Desegregation was the final straw, the horrible Yankees forcing their values on the noble, superior South. Equal protection was never finally realized. Now it is in full retreat.
My fellow Americans, those of you who believed in the dream and shared in the hope of a just and decent nation, it is over. We must accept our defeat and begin anew to try to restore democracy.
But, for now, the cause is lost. Say what you will, southerners have been unrelentingly loyal to their region's (failed) ethos of racial supremacy and minority rule. It was our responsibility to stop them.
