As much as Lott hopped from foot to foot in that interview, it's hard to believe anything he said.
I can agree with you on one thing... he was a damn fool for doing the interview. He was a damn fool for apologizing. He would have come out of this stronger if he had explained how completely out-of-context the comment was, and if they didnt like it, they could slurp his butt.
You dont believe him because you dont want to believe him. You WANT him to be a racist. You WANT to hate him. From the black side of the coin, there is NO benefit of the doubt. If anyone is keeping racism front and center, it is idiots like you who take "no story" comments and then spin them to a point where you have something to bitch about.
Trying to get you people to use some common sense is like trying to get a dead horse to dance.
