There is a difference between what Lott was referring to, which was states rights, of which he was a long time advocate, and Thurmonds racism. He stated that many times. Its only racists who read racism into other peoples remarks where that wasnt the intent. However, he did so by lamenting the country that would have been had Thurmond been elected. Unfortunately, Thurmond's states' rights stance came after his opposition to civil rights, and as a way to justify enforcing segregation as upholding state law. Perhaps that's not what Lott meant. I can't read his mind. But it's certainly what he said. Lott said nothing about segregation/race. If you infer any racist intent, you are both reading his mind and calling him a liar re his explanations/aplogogies. Why did he have to apologize? Why did he also denounce homos while loving cock so much? Why do you seem to have the only possible insight into what Trent meant to say? He is simply a very puzzling man. I like Trent!!!
