And just what are his views?
I'll grow a thicker skin when you back up your "musings" that some people are racist.
That's a damn serious charge to make to be just "wondering."
Well so far as I can tell... Lott views a meaningless day to honor the Mississippi trio of Schwerner, Cheney, and Goodman as something he couldn't support in 89. He has voted twice against extending the 65 civil rights act, once against the 64 act being extended. His political mentor was on the dixiecrat slate. He fought to keep his fraternity segregated, he voted against the MLK Jr day, then later tried to pull funding for it. In a state that has the highest black population in the entire country(36.6% as compared to the 12.3% nationwide) he has 1 black person working in his mail room, from a staff of 65. He has twice now spoke publically about how he wanted Strom and the dixiecrats to win. He lied to Sean Hannity about his involvement with the CCC. His own Uncle, a lifelong member of the Citizen's Councils, has called him on it, by stating that Trent was a dues paying member. He did not meet with them "just once". He said that they had "the right views". He filed an amicus brief to support Bob Jones' policy of banning interracial dating and marriage. He called the Civil War the "war of aggression" in Southern Partisan Magazine, while trying to re-instate the citizenship of Jefferson Davis.
Coming against this background... he has to be prodded for nearly a week, to just state the words "segregation was wrong". What in the heck am I supposed to think until he honestly tells us something otherwise other than the fact that his dad was a milkman sharecropper?
