not the husband. and are you 100% sure about her being a racist? for instance, the "Ode To Billie Joe" album has a great soul song ("mississippi delta") on it, and she generally seemed to incorporate a lot of black music into her stuff, surpising amounts really, at least for a country artist (which she was more or less considered as).
