People need to realize that Trent's actions speak just as loud as his words:
-At University of Mississippi and on a national level he fought against the integration of Sigma Nu
-Lott said "Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy," in reference to Bob Jones University's policy on interracial dating.
-1983, Lott was one of 90 House members who voted against creating a national holiday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
-1989, Lott was one of seven senators who voted to abolish the King holiday commission, and in 1994, he was one of 28 who favored scrapping its federal funding.
- He voted against the Voting Rights Act in the early '90s
- In 1995, Lott criticized Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., for intervening with 39 other lawmakers to get the FBI to release documents in the 1966 death of civil rights activist Vernon Dahmer to county prosecutors.
- He was the lone vote against President Bush's nomination of a black judge last year
- He has only one black employee, a mail clerk, out of a staff of 65. Half of Lott's constituents are black.
This isn't a liberal/conservative, Republican/Democrat issue, either. It's a respect issue. This man obviously doesn't respect blacks.
If you don't like a poster's comments -- then notify a moderator. Asking people if they have vitamin deficiencies because they defend their posting rights is a lame come back.
