Civil rights

My family supported George Wallace for president, Leander Perez and were members of the White Citizens' Councils in Lousiana

My grandparents did, and they are white

Probably I don't know

idk, I know my grandfather thinks Harry Truman was the best person to ever live and was an old school southern democrat. I do think the Civil Rights Movement wasn't as black and white as the modern media makes it out to be.

My family didn't give a shit

One side was a part of it, the other lived too far out in the boonies for it to be all that relevant.

Grandparents on my dad's side didn't even arrive here 'til the 70s after most of that shit was over.

I have no idea about my mom's side. They got here shortly before WW1, and my grandpa killed Commies in Korea. That's about all I know about the family history on that side.

Part of my family came after all that.
The other part was part native american so, most likely supported the civil rights movement.

My family had fought for the Union so they weren't KKK members or anything, but I don't think they took an active role in supporting it.

>>1830591
I've never asked, and I probably never will. All four of my grandparents are dead, at any rate.

Both sides of my grandparents were passive supporters.

Wisconsin had no blacks and my grandparents lived in a town of 2000 people. They just brewed and sold beer.

Many Union soldiers joined the KKK for the camaraderie that is made available through such a group. William McKinley was in the KKK for instance.

Mom's/Dad's families were too busy trying to get their shit together after running away from the Fascists/Commies respectively to care.
