You wake up and and look at anyone on the street with grey hair and ask yourself: What do they really think about blacks? Some like Ole Strom have adjusted to reality. Others are old segs who have simply gone into the closet. Segregation was not simply about separate bathrooms and separate classrooms: it was legislated white supremacy and the systematic humiliation of black people. My grandmother was from Mississippi and it was amazing to see how venomously she hated any expression of equality by blacks. Equally sad was the inability of most blacks to know how to behave as equals. They swung between arrogance and total submission.

No doubt that attitude still exists among some. However, this is about Trent Lott. Do you believe he is a segregationist? Do you believe he is a racist? I do not. If we oust him as ML at this time it will be perceived that we believe he is a racist and this witch hunt will not end with Lott.
