But in general, I am always hearing people accuse conservatives of being racists and most of the time the accusations are completely unfounded. Just because a person is against affirmative action, etc., that doesn't make them a racist. In fact, you could argue the exact opposite.

If Helms was such a racist, why did he have a black press secretary?

Well, to cover the Black press...of course.








( it's him----right?)

I don't think Helms cared about the black press. He knew he wasn't going to get the black vote. There was no reason for him to appease the black press.

Pgardn said, "Helms was not a politician. He stated his views rather clearly."

If Pgardn is right, then Helms would not have been the kind of guy to hire a black press secretary for political reasons. He must have hired the guy because he thought he was the best guy for the job. Someone who will hire the best person for the job, regardless of race, is not a racist.
