Rick Perlstein has posted some amazing outtakes from his research for his book Nixonland (which is well worth buying). It’s a bunch of constituent letters to Illinois liberal Democratic Senator Paul Douglas before he lost the 1966 election. For instance:

At least fifty square of Chicago is occupied by negroes which means that no part of that area is safe for white people to travel…
It is safe to say that not a single white person has ever moved into a negro neighorhood yet there has been over a million white people dumped, shoved, or pushed out of their homes by expansion of negroes…
NEGROES HAVE BEEN MADE THE BOSS OF THE UNITED STATES.

Read the rest. That is an order from the NEGROES WHO HAVE BEEN MADE THE BOSS OF THE UNITED STATES.
