I believe you should note that I'm basicly on the same side as you. The comment was made that Lott would not gain any ground with Blacks by his efforts to make ammends for his comments. I stated that he wouldn't lose ground by trying. I do not see his efforts as allienating Blacks further. Do you?

I think he's so damaged that he flap his jibs 24/7 on BET for a month...and nobody would bother to listen.

Lott spent all of his credibility and then some this past week.

If he'd been very proactive in statingn from the outset that he'd screwed up and that he was sorry, instead of a "F*** 'em if they can't take a joke" stance, this thing would be over with by now.

I agree with you. We will never gain ground if we never appear on BET, NAACP etc. I believe it will take time but the fact is we have done far more for Blacks than the Democrats and are far less racist than the Democrats.

Democrat racist remarks are accepted. That is because welfare will at least keep black families alive.

I say end Black Slavery (welfare / low wages) once and for all by raising the minimum wage. We got a good start with Contract with America. We now need a Contract with Poor America to end once and for all welfare for the non-working/don't want to work America. Far more would want to work at $10/ hour than $5.15 / hour. Those that didn't work would be far poorer than their neighbors working at $10 / hour. For now the non-workers are better off then the minimum wage workers.
