That's what this is about. Black people. We wouldn't be discussing this whole thing if black people hadn't gotten their backs up over remarks made off the cuff at a tribute to an old man!
Lott's getting skewered because he voted against MLK's birthday, because he thought there were enough federal holidays. So, when he says he voted for Juneteenth, he takes one thing away from the race pimps.
That's what race pimps are about: getting things. If Jesse Jackson finds a black jelly bean in a jar on a conference room table at Texaco, he turns it into a multi-million dollar payoff for himself and all the blacks in the company.
White people are scared to death of race pimps. It's time for that crap to STOP!
That's why Lott has to leave on his own terms. If Lott's pushed out by the racialists, nobody's safe. Nobody.
BLACK PEOPLE??? GOT THEIR BACKS UP??????
God, what a stupid thing to say. No, ace, ALL people of good will were offended.
Except people with none of those kind of skeletons in their closet, maybe?
You would rather have a Majority Leader that is in thrall to the CBC than have one who has been perceived to have been forced out by them...and a replacement who doesn't have their hooks into him.
Doesn't make any sense to me. There are tons of Republicans who aren't going to get themselves sucked into this kind of compromised postion vis a vis race issues...and to assert that this could happen to the vast majority of Republicans is insulting, IMO.
