Tell me how I defend this statement to friends I have that are black that I want to become Republicans

In 1911 Truman (who was 27) wrote to his future wife, Bess: "I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a nigger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will [probably Wfiliam Yount, the brother of Truman's mother] says that the Lord made a white man from dust, a nigger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman."
Truman continued: "[I] am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, yellow men in Asia and white men in Europe and America."

Its too bad Truman isn't the Leader of the Senate Democrats right now, huh? We could probably use that.

What have you got on Daschle?

That's the key.
