No I don't agree with that. But who cares who agrees with it? So what if I did "agree" with it, or Lott agrees with it or Thurmond agrees with it. Big effen deal. Let's just interrogate everyone under light bulb and ask them if they ever used the word "nigger" after 1948.
Lott's done much worse than come within three degrees of supporting someone who believed in segregation in 1948. You wouldn't know it reading this thread.
The PCers are fully in control of the conversation.
