A lifelong Democrat, he was aĀ filibustererĀ whose name was synonymous withĀ [[white supremacy]]. Like manyĀ Southern DemocratsĀ of his era, Bilbo believed that black people were inferior; he defendedĀ segregation, and was a member of theĀ [[Ku Klux Klan]]. Bilbo was of short stature (5Ā ft 2Ā in), frequently wore bright, flashy clothing to draw attention to himself, and was nicknamed "The Man" because he tended to refer to himself in the third person.
