Executive summary: Archangel of white supremacy Once awarded "America's most notorious merchant of hatred" by the Saturday Evening Post, Theodore G. Bilbo was at least an equal opportunity distributor of his product. Bilbo revealed his disdain for all things cola-related in a bill he introduced into the Mississippi's state legislature, intended to:
forbid the manufacture, sale, barter, or giving away of coca cola, afri cola, ala cola, caffi cola, carre cola, celery cola, chan cola, chera cola, coca beta, Pilsbury colke, cola coke, cream cola, dope, four cola, hayo cola, Heck's cola, Kaye cola, koca nola, loke, kola ade, kola kola, kola phos, doloko, dos dola, lime kola, mellow nip, nerve ola, revive ola, rocola, tye ola, standard cola, toko tona, tokola, vim-o, french wine of coca wise ola,...
Most of his hatred was not quite so cute however. During his Senate re-election campaign in 1946 he called "on every red-blooded white man to use any means to keep the niggers away from the polls" and apparently "if you don't understand what that means you are just plain dumb."[1]
