Harshing their vacation vibes, Boris and Fritz work their way through the 1976 Clint Eastwood classic, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and wonder how nobody seemed to notice that it came from Klan leader, George Wallace-speechwriter, racist terrorist, and fake Cherokee, Asa Carter of the National States Rights Party.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the history of invoking some form of States' Rights theory to limit the efforts of the federal government to expand or protect the rights of persons within the United States Southern Manifesto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Manifesto Mississippi State Sovereign Commission https://web.archive.org/web/20191205182453/http://mshistorynow.mdah.state.ms.us/index.php?id=243 https://www.scencyclopedia.org/sce/entries/nullification/#:~:text=The%20crisis%2C%20which%20began%20as,and%20secede%20from%20the%20Union. “Calhoun's justification of nullification and secession as constitutional rights of the state also went beyond traditional states' rights doctrine as they were based on an unprecedented notion of absolute state sovereignty. Most old states' righters, including James Madison, condemned nullification as an extraconstitutional and un-republican theory as it was not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution and because it subverted the cardinal principle of republican government, majority rule.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_Declaration_of_Secession#:~:text=The%20South%20Carolina%20Declaration%20of,for%20seceding%20from%20the%20United "A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery." https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/setting-the-precedent-mendez-et-al-v-westminster-school-district-of-orange-county-et-al-and-the-us-courthouse-and-post-office.htm#:~:text=Mendez%2C%20et%20al.-,v.,school%20segregation%20across%20the%20state. “Before Brown, et al., v.

This 1946 class-action lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of separate schools for Mexican American students in Southern California and eventually helped end public school segregation across the state.” https://mississippitoday.org/2024/01/14/on-this-day-in-1963-alabama-gov-georg-wallace-said-segregation-forever/ (Jan 14, 1963) “On the same portico of the Alabama Capitol in Montgomery where Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederacy, Alabama Gov. George Wallace delivered his inaugural address, telling the crowd, “In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” Asa Carter, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, wrote his speech, which made national headlines and thrust Wallace into the national spotlight.” https://www.npr.org/2010/01/18/122701268/i-have-a-dream-speech-in-its-entirety “I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of ‘interposition' and ‘nullification' — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” Simple Justice: The History of Brown v.

For this episode of In Focus: Weekend, author Dan T. Carter talks with host Carolyn Hutcheson about Asa Earl Carter, speechwriter for George Wallace and member of the KKK. Dan Carter's new book, "Unmasking the Klansman, the Double Life of Asa and Forrest Carter," reveals the Alabama and Texas activities of the author of "The Education of Little Tree." Carter is famous for living a double life as a racist political operative and the perpetrator of a famous literary hoax.
n this episode of Bear Grease, part two of our Conman series on the double life of Asa Forrest Carter, Clay Newcomb dives into the gritty details of the violence, hate, and conspiracy philosophies of the first 45 years of his life and how, in the last decade of his life, he transformed into an unrecognizable, “Cherokee Indian” author who wanted to be America's next Hemmingway – and almost did it. Once again, author of Unmasking the Klansman, Dr. Dan T Carter and Steve Rinella of MeatEater lead the way as his guests. Brace yourself because this winding trail will be treacherous as they talk about the beating of jazz singer Nat King Cole, read from the Unabomber's Manifesto, and begin to understand how Asa Carter did what he did. We're going neck deep into the mind of a Conman.

On this episode of the Bear Grease Render, the crew convenes in Missouri for some spring turkey hunting. Clay Newcomb is joined by veteran Meateater videographers Loren Moulton and Dave Gardner as well as Brent Reaves, who you can now hear every Friday on this same feed on his new podcast This Country Life. The crew recaps the triumphs and pitfalls of chasing those wisened longbeards in the spring woods before turning their attention to Forest, or should we say Asa, Carter's “The Education of Little Tree.” The crew discusses how remarkable it is that Asa Carter was able to pull off this deception, whether or not this was an arc of repentance and redemption or if it was just a con, and the decision to give this to their kids to read or not.

Did you know that the author of The Education of Little Tree and The Outlaw Josey Wales was actually Asa Carter—a white nationalist who sent members of the KKK to attack Nat King Cole on stage? He was a man so racist that George Wallace cut him loose, so Carter changed his name, lied about his past, and became a best-selling author before his own son punched him to death. Jamie and Bambi go back to segregation-era Alabama to talk about a uniquely terrible person. Consider a https://www.cherokee.org/about-the-nation/donations/ (donation to the Cherokee Nation).

Asa Carter and Forrest Carter couldn't have been more different. But they shared a secret. The Education of Little Tree, by Forrest Carter, is an iconic best-selling book, with a message about living in harmony with nature, and compassion for people of all kinds. But the story behind the book is very different. It begins with the most infamous racist political speech in American history. This week on the podcast, the true story of the untrue story of The Education of Little Tree. This story originally aired on This American Life in 2014.
Hoooo boy. On this week's episode we tackle the sometimes entertaining, often problematic western movie classic, The Outlaw Josey Wales. What we did not when picked this, and we don't think any of the filmmakers knew when they made it was the following. This curious movie was based on a book by a former member of the KKK, a man who wrote speeches for George McGovern, and was an ardent segregationist. The speeches and Klan activity he performed under the name Asa Carter. He called himself Forrest Carter, and took on the persona of a Cherokee when he penned his books about Josey Wales and later his false autobiography, The Education of Little Tree- a book that was selected to be featured in Oprah Winfrey's Book Club. It is unclear how much Eastwood and his writers knew about this sad history, but for us the movie's origin in Forrest Carter's racist pseudo-history was never far from our mind. We spend a lot of time talking about the strange popularity of Lost Cause Narrative in American cinema as we wonder at this strange film.
