LBJ might have fought to end segregation but he did it only for his party's purpose and that was:

"I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."
Lyndon B. Johnson

There really are very few heros that are not tainted by America's past.

Say what you want about LBJ. He may have been the most evil man since Hitler, but he had vision.

Does Lott have vision? He's politically blind. Its 40 years later and Pubs are still lucky to get 5% of the black vote.

And the amazing thing is that Black people as a whole have a lot more in common with the republican agenda than they do with the democratic agenda. Its just that blacks don't trust Republicans. And with statements like Lott made in addition to his segregationist past and his lame apology, its no wonder.
