To the bender who keeps putting it back in, if you have a reasonable argument for its place in the article please say so — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.179.199.136 (talkcontribs) 23:52, 18 May 2007‎ (UTC)[reply]

Not entirely accurate depiction of offending TV ad in Helms campaign.

[edit]

Strange that I would remember this so vividly perhaps, but I was in North Carolina during the 1990 election and was a supporter of Harvy Gannt, whom Helms defeated. The TV ad in question showed a man's white hands holding a letter of rejection from an employer. A voice-over asked, (I'm paraphrasing) what you would do if you were told that you were the best candidate for a job, but you were not going to be hired because the employer had to hire a minority instead.

There was no black man in the ad.
