Thanks Bull Connor! Your stupidity and bigotry actually did my parents and grandparents, a huge favor. It's because of you, that my generation has been given greater access to opportunities for progression. I actually invoke your name and legacy when I'm teaching kids about the deep hate doctrine that was once purveyed by people like you.

How was he a democrat? The kind of hatred and bigotry he spouted is something republicans would pull these days.

Good ole Bull..he never would have imagined himself being the greatest advocate for civil rights.

This unapologetic racist went to his grave with no regrets. A movie perhaps starring Kevin Costener would really be cool.

@jerseyirish Way to judge. Just by the sound of his voice you know all that? Wow how talented. You're not making him sound bad you're making yourself sound bad :)

I can't stand the narrator of this video. He sounds like one of those hipster, vegetarian, privileged, latte sippin', half-baked, candy-ass white liberals who spent too much time as groupies for their Marxist college professors.
