I wish someone would have asked BP1 if *he* wanted the presidency restricted to certain whites, or if he was simply convinced that’s the way the Framers wanted it, and it hadn’t be constitutionally modified/corrected yet. There is a difference. I know BP was a stickler for originality/original intent. Also, it’s strange he never gave any prior indication of being a racist or a bigot. None at all. Odd he would wait so long, and then let fly (so to speak). Usually racists have a harder time concealing it, and let hints slip here and there. I never saw any of that w BP.
I haven’t tracked all of BP’s posts, so I can’t speak for what “indications” there might have. I can definitely see where allmendream and perhaps philman have chosen to characterize BP’s posts into saying something beyond what was actually written. Taken out of the full context, it would be very easy to misconstrue BP’s personal intent.
