Having lived as a "stranger in a strange land" in the South, mostly Mississippi, for nearly 40 years, I'd say that the early 1980's were about when things started to change with the old timers like Byrd. For Byrd I'm certain that the Klan is a thing of the past. He says that's the case, and I believe him.

...Obama seems to have brought peace to the Niger Delta. No joke.

Reuters:

Rebels who have stepped up attacks on Nigeria's oil industry in the last month said on Sunday they were considering a ceasefire appeal by U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has launched five attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta since it resumed a campaign of violence in April, forcing Royal Dutch Shell to shut more than 164,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).

"The MEND command is seriously considering a temporary ceasefire appeal by Senator Barack Obama. Obama is someone we respect and hold in high esteem," the militant group said in an e-mailed statement.

I found myself liking Obama a lot after I read his first book. His second book is even more convincing. Read his 60+ page position paper. Look at just one issue -- health care. He promises to arm-twist to lower costs, unlike HRC who wants the tax payers to pay for everyone. (No, wait. She avoids saying that insurance premiums will be mandated to achieve "universal coverage." ) But don't get me started.
