By the way, the White Citizens' Councils did sometime call themselves just that.
Anyways, Haley Barbour in an interview here, http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/boy-yazoo-city_523551.html?page=3, has Barbour explaining that the White Citizens' Council's as a force for good in race relations.
The Internet is having articles popping up all over about it.
Actually, the Citizens' Councils were extremely racist. You can read the entire run of their newspaper here: http://www.citizenscouncils.com/.
Blogger Yglesias here has a review of the Weekly Standard's interview here:
http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/2010/12/haley-barbours-affection-for-the-white-supremacist-citizens-council/
Yglesias blog has a link to http://www.citizenscouncils.com/
A lot of blogs are linking to Yglesias' blog which means a lot of people will get a link to the Citizens' Council web page.
UPDATE:
Another interesting article at Salon.com.
