Bush would have been for segregaton had be been president 50 years ago. All that his kind stand for is bigotry, oppression, and hate. He never would have appointed justices to the court that would have ended segregation, and he would never have passed such a politicaly volatile act such as the Civil Rights Act, enforcing Brown.
