Oh, for Pete's sake get a grip! I don't know where you are from or how old you are but in the 60's in the South people were just coming to terms with desegregation. In hindsight, everybody alive now who lived those days KNOWS it was immoral. But at the time it was a way of life. By your rigid views, anybody over the age of 60 from the South is a racist, immoral, bigoted segregationist. Do I have that right?

In the 60's there was a general recognition amongst even Southerners that Ssegregation was evil and that it needed to be discarded. Remember LBJ? He was a southerner. He was a good old boy. But he recognized that segregation was wrong and he fought to end it.

At the same time LBJ and many other Southern Democrats and Republicans (like B-1 Bob) were fighting to end segregation, Lott was busy fighting to keep the ni--ers out of his little fraternity.

I can't excuse that. Sin is Sin. Treating blacks like second class citizens was wrong then and it is wrong now. What Lott did in the 60's was indefensible. What he said last week was indefensible. We don't need him as the face of our party. We can do better than that. Much better.
