WHAT??!!

From the AP:

Kevin L. Martin, government and political affairs director of the African American Republican Leadership Council, said people were overreacting to the remarks. "By no means was he endorsing segregation or anything like that. It was lighthearted, it was humorous." Martin said Lott captures 25 percent of the black vote in Mississippi, which he said couldn't happen if Lott were a racist.

emphasis mine.

Why? Lordy, why? I think I popped a neuron when I read that. Do those people KNOW what they are voting for?

At least the biach said he was sorry. PC and free speech notwithstanding (because he has the right to say it) but if he wants to keep his power, then he ought not to say such ignorant things, even though we all know he dreams about a return to the. . . old days. . . and probably gets aroused over it too.
