We shouldn't automatically assume that it is african americans asking for all of these apologies, asking him to be on BET, or anything of the sort, because in this instance, it is not us. Most of us are not surprise, or shocked at what he said........or even that he said it in public.

I will have to correct you. The Congressional Black Caucus is calling for his censure and the Black Leadership forum is calling for him to step down. Also, numrous African American Congress people have called for Lott to step down.
This is not an assumption. This is a fact. Yes some members of his party have expressed concern about what was said, but by far, the outcry is coming from the Democrats and African Americans.
