If memory serves me, Lott had some unfortunate and probably overblown associations with Klan-like movements.Memory serves you wrong. Lott praised Strom Thurmond on his 100 birthday and said he wished he had become president when he ran. Because Thurmond ran on a segregationist ticket, this was extrapolated to be a racist remark.
FYI, the only KKK member in congress that I know of is democrat Senator Robert Byrd.
I don't see what's racist about this cartoon. Perhaps you can tell me what is racist about it?
The exagerated lips. Not even parrots have big lips like that.
"Memory serves you wrong. "
No, LACK of memory serves YOU wrong.
Trent Lott and Council of Conservative Citizens
Wow - a search of "Trent Lott" + "Klan" returned over 9000 hits!
Please recall that I very-clearly typed "unfortunate and overblown associations with Klan-like movements". I didn't say or think that Lott was a Grand Dragon himself. Know this before your next push-button over-reaction.
No argument over Hypocrite Byrd and the rest of the HypoCrats.
And sorry, I just don't see those lips as being exceedingly large. But then, I wasn't looking at that cartoon in a racist light.
