Anyone who thinks these offhand remarks mean that Lott is a racist is a loon. As someone else said we are the party of Lincoln and civil rights. They were the party of segregation and are still the party of former Senate Majority Leader and Ku Kluks Klansman Sen. Robert Byrd. However, this is a troublesome gaffe for the incoming Senate Majority Leader and one more reason that we should replace him with a more conservative and more articulate spokesman for the Party like Don Nickles or John Kyl.
