I don't defend his behavior or many of his actions, but I'm not going to judge him either. He came up in a society that called him a n*gg*r and gave him all of the abuse that came with that, and stood he up against it. That was why he was elected in DC even after his scandals.

Yes, he was corrupt and did all of the things said of him, but if he is to be condemned for the things he did, then how will those Christians who called him n*gg*r instead of following Jesus' call to "love one another" be judged? Weren't we warned about this?

As I said, I don't defend him, but if he was beyond God's grace because of the things he did, then many others may want to reexamine their own lives as well.

RIP.

One last play of the race card. Fitting.

Booker T Washington endured everything and more. And he turned out to be one of the most brilliant men this country has ever produced.

Your tripe just demonstrates with President Bush called, “The soft bigotry of low expectations.”

They will be judged, yes. But he made the choices that guided his life.

I have too much respect for the Tom Sowells and the Clarence Thomases of the world to give him a pass because of the tint of his skin.
