So Trent Lott put his foot in his mouth and pissed off a lot of people. As I agree that he shouldn't have made those comments I am baffled that so many who segregate themselves are upset about things he believed years ago. The blacks have their own Black Entertainment Channel, a beauty pageant for just female blacks, a college fund for their race only and so on. Talk about segregation, jeez! Would whites be able to have a Caucasian Entertainment Channel? How’ bout Miss White America Pageant? I think NOT! I'm not saying I'd like to see those things, but it's the same old double standard for one race and these are things that continue to divide this country. Where's the white outrage over the black segregation going on in our country? I wouldn't think twice about the BET channel or the Miss Black America Pageant, but it's the very race that DOES segregate that is whining about someone who supported segregation over 40 years ago when a majority of southern folks thought that way. Double standards are rampant in this country and I’m quite tired of it.
Can you envision a Majority Leader in the Senate that you wouldn't have to say that about?
It's as easy as calling the Republican Senators into a room and having a little vote.
