دانلود کتاب چرا لیبرال های سفید شکست می خورند

In the spring of 1965, Reuben Anderson, a student at Tougaloo College, climbed onto a bus in Jackson, Mississippi. He sat in the front row in the knowledge that the two white men in the row behind him would not like it, but there was nothing they could do about it. Unable to force him to move to the back of the bus, the men talked loudly, making as much use of the N-word as possible. Anderson relished the fact that they were powerless to do more than talk. Eventually one of them said, “That William Winter is a liberal.” The other asked, “What is a liberal?” The answer was simple and stark: “A nigger lover.”1 In 1965, William Winter was state treasurer of Mississippi, and he would become governor in 1979. Winter epitomized the changes that transformed the South from a segregated region committed to white supremacy to a booming biracial democracy. He was, Eudora Welty wrote to her closest friend, a good first-rate, vigorously thoughtful and firmly spoken man. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t prove himself one of the best governors in the nation. His third try. This time he beat the disgraceful redneck scoundrel who beat him before, and who has outraged everybody so, that our man this time won by a landslide.
