I doubt that. Not to mention, the example being bandied around about Trent Lott is like comparing apples and oranges. Sorry, wishing that Strom Thurmond had won the race for president, a segregationist who would have made sure that the civil rights movement had never taken place, is not the same as assessing the likelihood that a light-skinned black man would be able to win an election for president.
