He actually started out as more open to integration and lost to a pro-s*grag*tion candidate. That's probably where he switched. He originally was a populist in the vain of Big Jim Folsom.
He actually entered politics as a moderate but didn't win, so he adopted pro segregation rhetoric because that is what won elections in the south at the time.
Forced busing, also known as social engineering, was far from a success. In the end it didn’t benefit anyone in any meaningful way. As for this interview, I thought it was handled in a very professional manner.
Martin Luther King was assassinated. People were angry and rioted. He used it as an oppurtunity to garner anti-black sentiment. He simply replaced the n-word with ”thugs”
So tell me is it safer now? Hell naw you turn em loose and they only destroy. Not just in America but countries like Hati, South Africa hell all of Africa. How great are they now that basketball players are running the show? Holler at me when you have a FACTUAL and True answer
@@KingOfDixieyou’re literally worshipping a bunch of idiots who lost a war nearly 2 centuries ago that didn’t even last a decade because they wanted the state right to own human beings
He was not a segregationist or a racist he ran the first time for governor not holding of that viewpoint and he lost so he ran with segregation an he just kept it like it was. So I mean he really didn't do nothing to worsen the situation but he really didn't do nothing to make it better ethier. I think it's unfair to label him racist I think he just said what would win him the governor spot in Alabama... Its sad but true.
Pretty biased interview but it's interesting to see him speak. sounds just like any racist grandfather nowadays, which makes me think they got it from him
I was a little boy during the 1960's in Tennessee. I would say that most white people in the South had no violence in their hearts against black people. Now there were some exceptions (example: KKK), but I think most white folks got along okay with the black folks. Now for a lot of peaceful white folks, there may have an invisible line in their minds that you did not cross. For example, white folks married white folks; and black folks married black folks. But unless you grew up in the South during that time, as a white person, it's kind of hard for other people to understand.
@@channdlerThere's no denying that he probably had some racism in his heart, but he was a strong "middle-ground" politician. He didnt want to diminish their rights, but instead, keep things as they are to stabilize society. He mentions that's the reason why he refused integrating University of Alabama, as he said "remember Ole Miss", in which the white people rioted and got violent.
@@capital_of_texas Yes he was able to make a great coalition, but i'm sorry to tell you that coalition was entirely racists. he was the #1 politician against desegregating and against integration. He probably would've been president had he not gone down that route
@@channdler yeh, Wallace was a fool in that aspect. He was too hungry for power to fully realize who was around him. That's the common story of your average Southern politician, they unfortunately need something populist to cling on to for profit. Just like how Justice Hugo Black specifically joined the KKK to avoid being a target
The 3 buses from the protest of segeration now and forever of George Wallace and George Wallaces friends went to florence ala to dr joesph glaister and Howell Heflin and Doug Jones and Jeff secession offices changed out all of these kids fsb and kbg Russian documents that Donald Trump found and was investigating inn the marlogo documents of Vladimir Putins childhood wife and friend that was to religiously medically integrate under integration of the Russian communists integrationist party Triangle 🔺️ Marie Davis?????
Looks like Kurt Russell portraying Wallace in a movie today.
This is an interesting interview... where'd you get it?
By the 1980's George Wallace had changed his views from segregation to integration.
Like a politician his opinions shift with whatever gave him votes
He actually started out as more open to integration and lost to a pro-s*grag*tion candidate. That's probably where he switched. He originally was a populist in the vain of Big Jim Folsom.

But segregation did?
Interesting interview. Interesting man
I LOVE GOV. GEORGE WALLACE GOD BLESS GOV. GEORGE WALLACE AND GOD BLESS ALABAMA.
You mean bless the SEGREGATIONIST younger Wallace or the INTEGRATIONIST older Wallace?
@@Tony-fb1gd
Younger
@@MichaelJ44 You believe racial segregation should be restored?
@@Tony-fb1gd they should get their own countries
@@fernandoneugart This conversation is about black americans....not illegal immigrants.
Interesting interview. I would say that Maxine Waters is more inflammatory than this man.
Maxine Waters never said, "segregation forever."
...bombed the 16th street church in Birmingham...4 children killed...Wallace remembers.
@14:42 could it be that the media said things about him that weren’t true?
Martin Luther King was assassinated. People were angry and rioted. He used it as an oppurtunity to garner anti-black sentiment.

@@trolloftruth2941 lol
Should’ve been our president
@@unclesam7886 yes Sir!!!
Are you racist?
If not, then how do you differentiate between segregation and racism?
He was Raised like that thats why he was very racist
He was not a segregationist or a racist he ran the first time for governor not holding of that viewpoint and he lost so he ran with segregation an he just kept it like it was.

@@scottbivins4758 true to he had to do that to win office
He was not a racist. You are ignorant for saying that
@faithlessberserker5921 so what you call a governor that uses the national guard on black people them lol looks racist to me
@@philippesossou995 no segregation was not not over when he made that speech
He lies through his teeth.
LIES LIES LIES
