Louisiana cemetery 'sorry' after denying officer burial 'because he is black'

[Rev. Rye]

And I take it we still haven’t read up on how Kennedy and Johnson became pro-Civil Rights, how the Republicans developed the Southern Strategy in response, and how, because of these two factors, the party of Lincoln became the party of White Supremacy and the party that opposed the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of freedmen in the mid-19th century became the party that at least tried to help the lot in life of their descendants?

Also, on the OP, I hoped that this was just some old, obscure regulation that was never enforced since the Civil Rights Acts but they still never got around to actually removing it from their rule book. But it turns out they were still enforcing it and putting the language “white human beings” on their burial contracts in 2021. Dafuq?
