the whole trent lott situation pisses me off. as a liberal minority who lives in conservo county...it offends me. now, it isn't hard to see that the whole segregation-attitude is still generally shared by a lot of people in the south...but it's everywhere you go, not just in the south. racism is everywhere. it's sad that children are still brought up with such archaic beliefs that human beings should be separated because of their origin. it's bullshit. and it pisses me off. now, the reason trent lott got in trouble is because he got caught saying these things. imagine if he didn't get caught...his racist ass would be head of the senate majority with no problem.

it's only now that he got caught running his dumb-ass mouth off that people are having a problem with it. i have a problem with it too. as a liberal democrat, i'd like someone running the republican majority--representing my country, representing me--who doesn't mind the fact that i go to school with white people.

i really hope that lott steps down, or that his colleages vote him off. it's pretty bad when you've offended everyone, including fellow party members.

but hey...maybe if we elected strom thurmond, i wouldn't have this problem. i wouldn't be going to this nice university...i'd be going to the minority university...and underfunded dump with shitty textbooks, where the buildings are falling apart. i'm sure that's what trent lott wanted.

he can apologize all he wants. he's apologizing for getting caught. it still would have been on his mind if he didn't say it. the damage is already done. can't take back what already has been done.

this ignorance plagues our society so badly. will it never stop?
