Ah, right. To be fair, Strom Thurmond's filibuster of the 1957 Civil Rights act was before even *my* lifetime (though not by much). Now I'm trying to think of racist Senate speeches between 1959 and 1989, but this is pedantic geekery and in no way undermines your point.

Yeah, he was monstrous. I can find a lot of quotes from him like that one from 1963, but was he still saying things like that publicly in the 90s and 2000s? I haven't found any from a cursory Google. A lot of old-time Dixiecrats like him went quieter with those remarks publicly later in life.

It is an older quote, his race against Harvey Gantt was probably his last gasp of overt racism before embracing the wink wink nudge nudge variety. For those of us in NC, there were plenty of anecdotes indicating that he never changed his stripes.

![In August 2023, The Washington Post reported that campaign finance and property records suggest Tuberville lives in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, instead of Auburn, as his office claims,[167] and has for almost two decades. The United States Constitution requires senators to live in the state where they are elected, but does not provide a minimum length of residency; Alabama requires a candidate to reside in the state for just one day to run for office.[168][169]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yicyonr44xuztgqukb6ivm2v/bafkreidnrjnmge4ndizorlumlx2lfyn4n77ocnhwy3w4y624htqruubbcm@jpeg)
