WHEREAS , on 27 June 2003/XXIV the Prime Minister issued a PD
celebrating the life of notorious segregationist Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina, and
WHEREAS , Thurmond found the moderate racial policies of Harry S Truman
(such as an integrated military) far too extreme and ran his own White
Supremacist "Dixiecrat" party against Truman in 1948, and
WHEREAS , Thurmond remained an unrepentant segregationist for decades
thereafter, using his vast political influence among racist Southern
Whites to break the American South away from an increasingly tolerant
and progressive Democratic Party to join an increasingly reactionary
and fundamentalistic Republican Party, deliberately opposing real,
responsible Southern leaders like Lyndon B. Johnson who were trying to
heal the wounds of segregation and bigotry, and
WHEREAS , the Kingdom of Talossa wishes in no way, shape, or form to be
associated with Strom Thurmond\'s divisive, racist antics,
THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby repeals the relevant Prime Dictate of 27 June
2003/XXIV forthwith.
