"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.
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.
