Name

George Wallace III is the same as George Wallace Jr.? Usually "junior" is the II, not the III. -Willmcw 23:50, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This George Wallace, Jr., was born as III and that is his legal name. When his grandfather died, his father could call himself George Wallace, Sr., and George Wallace III could call himself George Wallace, Jr. Even though Gov. Wallace has passed away, his son is still referred to as Jr. in the media. Gmosaki 03:58, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And can you blame him? Neal2028 02:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Political Cesspool

James Edwards is a open white nationalist, so I changed the description of his radio show from "some have described as a white nationalist" to "a white nationalist." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.64.30 (talk) 02:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious statement

The article says "It is believed that Wallace's loss resulted from the shift of most of the district's African-American voters, particularly in Montgomery and Selma, to the 7th district....": So are we saying that if that hadn't happened then African -American voters would have been flocking to support him? The article says very little about his positions on issues; on the face of it he is the son of a notorious segregationist and has links to a white nationalist organization; does that truly reflect his own opinions? And if so, why would African Americans give him the time of day? Why is it their fault he wasn't elected? Moonraker12 (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
