Nice to know that there's some sanity in here. The problem, and many have helpfully pointed out that it is a bipartisan issue, is that many people still haven't realized that it's actually morally wrong to tell people where they can be and what they can do based on the color of their skin.

Thurmond may have realized it, and I believe that Byrd probably figured it out over the years, even if he stupidly used the N word on tv to make a point, but there will always be a Trent Lott, or some of the Democrats I suspect but won't defame without some evidence, who will prove black people's worst fears about the all-white club which is the United States Senate.

the all-white club which is the United States Senate.

All-white? Aren't you ignoring Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Daniel Inouye, Daniel Akaka?
