What do u guys think?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Trent Lott's comments surprise no one who has any information on the man. We all know what he is (that is RACIST to put it reaaaaally bluntly for you guys).

It is just a convenient excuse being used by republicans who don't like him to get him out of office. All that righteous indignation is complete garbage. I would be surprised (not shocked) if the man was replaced as majority leader.

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.
