The Time a Senator Spoke for 24-Hours Straight

"dude, you were so drunk last night.. you went on a 24 hour racist rant"

He really was fueled by it. Literally days of preparing his body to go ham on the senate floor. Too bad it was for the worst shit

This man was an absolute legend tho. He was a major army general serving from 1924-1964. He was the only dixiecrat to switch parties in 1964 and become and anti-racist. He also had a biracial daughter when ever he made this filibuster. He served in Senate until he was 100 years old from 1956-2003. He also was governor of south Carolina for a minute. He ran for president and did decent. Overall he was a badass

I don't like the guy's racism, but I have to give the guy respect for also staying on topic for the most part, unlike Huey Long. The goal is supposed to be trying to convince the other side, instead of just bashing them or wasting valuable time.

Also want to point out that, unlike the US senate, Texas senators have to stay on topic while speaking in a filibuster, which makes it even more impressive.

@@wnphn7653 not really. The filibuster is just plain idiotic and prevents the senate from doing their job and so even if they're forced to stay on topic all their doing is getting in the way of a vote.

@Águila701 well his name was actually James

@@neues3691 Even if it was consensual, that doesn't change the fact he wanted to keep that hidden from the public at any cost. That should stand for something. Also you'd have to stretch really far to claim that this action was not racially motivated.

Thurmond: also has a secret black daughter and is related to Al Sharpton.

Yea, but he still fucked over a lot of people, even if only temporarily.

@@LividImp he wasted a lot of people's life

Well, historically the US is one of the best countries at preventing or curtailing civil rights. Look at the anti-abortion freaks: They bomb clinics, murder doctors, assault people. In any sane country they would've had their majority membership mopped up for being terrorists or funding and harbouring, but in the US they get to deliver the vice-president and the electoral contribution of this threat is crucial for most conservatives. And lately they have succeeded at abusing decentralised government authority to pass all kinds of bills that restrict women's right to autonomy.

@Paul Tello ok :)

Tbh this is HAI... They would.

No need. Nowadays (with 5000 page bills), they could filibuster for days on end just reading the actual bill.

Ah, so I see someone else is a fan of watching RU-vid videos with millions of views, stealing their jokes, transforming them into "original" comments, and hoping nobody will notice. Well, regardless of the circumstances, it's always nice to see a fellow fan of Studio C.

Guys the most important thing here is: Everyone would be better off without it.

Gayest thing I read today

Honestly, the only thing that would've been worse than a butthurt racist guy ranting is a butthurt racist guy ranting while also wetting his pants.

Don't let facts get in the way that only one party of one senator, not even the one in title of the video, was mentioned. Good job in trying to turn your comment section into a cesspit HAI, expected better frankly.

apologies for length, is started writing and well; Barry was an interesting, sometimes hard to pin down guy sometimes from what I've read, admittedly which isnt very much. He supported the cvil rights bills of 1957 and 1960, and supported civil rights efforts in Phoenix, but didn't want that known publicly. His later opposition to the civil rights bill in '64 may have been based partly as he said he felt it infringed on state sovereignty, But '64 was an election year, and Barry was a runnin'; opposition to a federal civil rights bill and 'state sovereignty' are like two words that would Southern Democrats falling for him head over heels. (though to be honest, if he wasnt running and he still had the same concerns about sovereignty as his reason for opposing the bill, i might believe Barry was being a bit more genuine than some people on that topic considering his own track record. full disclosure, i kinda like Barry even though im not totally in agreement with him on some things, he was a uh, colourful dude) The parties from up until I wanna say like around the latter 1970s or so (but don't quote me on that timeline), were also a lot less, uh, ideologically hemonogized? There tended to be left and right leaning wings in both parties, and in the South, you had Southern Democrats and they ruled the roost in the down yonder. From 1876 to 1964 (if what i just skimmed is correct and i read it right), Arkansas always voted Democrat in presidential elections, for example. The shift to the more recent conceptions of Rep and Dems to Righties and Lefties, has sorta left both parties sharing only the names of their earlier counterparts. tl;dr, gosh uh, Southern Dems in the 50s and 60s were racist? barry was complicated? man i dunno

democrats are media darlings. republicans are shunned. barry goldwater was an interesting man with uncompromising principal, which also meant that he let down the progressive angle.

@@bobsmith-ui8uw wow guys Democrats being racist in the sixties? Who could have guessed? It's almost like the party he was in doesn't matter to the video

Exactly. You can still admire and respect someone's dedication and passion for something, even if that something was wrong. For example, the sheer tenacity of Germans, both in the Wehrmacht and SS, during WW2. Even though it was clear they were going to lose, they still fought harder than anyone could've expected in their situation and did remarkably well. Their fighting spirit deserves respect. What they're fighting for doesn't. Sadly, the world isn't as grey as it used to be.
