Jesse Helms...not Strom Thurmond...
Boy, is my Black Face red!!!

Any ole Jesse was about as right wing a conservative US senator as there has ever been. Google him.

Anyway....after decades in the senate, he found himself in a nail biter of a race against a Black gentleman named Harvey Ganntv who had served as Mayor of Charlotte.

Michael Jordan, was a God in NC after his championship days at University of NC and his subsequent forays with the Chicago Bulls

Anyway, given that Mr gannt was black, there was a feeling that if Jordan came out in support of him, it would be a decisive factor in the race. He refused saying "even White people by my sneakers" or something to that effect. Helms won. I'm sure the "black hands" commercial was a factor too

Can you imagine Ali saying something like that? And if any DUers remember this a little better, please chime in
