I havn't fallen for this RAT trick, But I do question why and how Trent Lott could say he supported Affirmative Action on BET when his record is clear and we all know how easy it is to defend this position to the racist CBC or anyone who challenged it. All week I have said that Trent Lott is no racist and this is just another smear campaign by the race baiting RATS and his apology was sufficient and this is no reason for him to step down as the ML. But after watching him look like a spineless worm on BET, I can't help but think he has lost his ability to lead.
If Trent Lott would have said:
"I stand behind my voting record and I condemn Affirmative Action because I believe if the color of one's skin is the deciding factor whether that person gets the job or gets accepted into a University.... It's a racist policy, PERIOD"
but instead he said he supports Affirmative Action"
I'm thinkin I heard Lott apologize for his votin' record and declare his actions didn't match up with his record. It's one hellacious mess.
