I do not want to have anything to do with anybody who is racist or bigoted or anti-Semitic.
The question of what actually caused the Civil War is secondary to the result of the Civil War, which is that after the war was over, slavery was ended, and the North and the South reconciled. And I think we need to respect that.

I'm certainly not a white supremacist.
