Lott, according to Doyle, declined to be interviewed for the book.... I never knew about that but this doesn't help his case on not being a racist. It is funny how fraternity affilation always seems to be brought up when something goes wrong, like the Drexel TKE thing. Here is the article where I saw the quote...

Not that i'm defending segregation or violence, but how does the possession of shotguns at the Sigma Nu house equal racism?
I'm pretty dang sure that if you go out to our house right now there are probably a couple of shotguns out there, but that doesn't make us racists. That just makes us a fraternity with some members who own firearms for hunting or shooting.
