      It’s a quote from the guy who did these things admitting to the fact that he did them, yes.

      Are you unfamiliar with who this is and that they said it? Cuz you can Google that

      Saw your comment in it “being contentious”: someone’s family saying they “totally didn’t say that” after they died isn’t worth dick. Neither does one political reporter going “well actually it doesn’t really make sense that he said it”.

        But a quote from an interview twenty year prior that can’t be substantiated anywhere else is gospel, huh? Come on man…

          I am more likely to believe that a piece of shit who was known for being a racist piece of shit did racist piece of shit things than I am to believe he didn’t. Especially when basically only his family is saying he didn’t say it.

          On the great scale of “likely” to “unlikely” it leans more toward likely by far. Also, like I’m going to give that POS any benefit of the doubt. Whether or not he actually said it: he said it with his actions. May his memory tarnish more each time we think of it
