"Senate Republican leader Trent Lott tried to help Bob Jones University keep its federal tax-exempt status despite the school's policy prohibiting interracial dating two decades before his recent comments stirred a race controversy.
"Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy," Lott, then a congressman from Mississippi, wrote in a 1981 friend of the court brief that unsuccessfully urged the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the Internal Revenue Service from stripping the university's tax exemption.
Bob Jones University is a private college who can do what they want. Bob Jones University did not ban blacks or any minorities from enrolling and attending nor did they discriminate against blacks or other minorities. Their interracial dating policy effected everyone of all races equally. Lott was correct when he said "Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy." There is nothing untrue about his statement.
I can't stand defending a spineless RINO like Trent Lott, but this racism crap is just stupid. It is disgusting that Republicans are teaming up with the Democrat dirtbags to destroy Lott over an alleged ThoughtCrime. Knock this crap off or it will come back to haunt everyone one of us as the race-baiters and other leftist scum are empowered and their weapon of choice becomes more potent.
