Once again I ask, when is BET going to interview Senator Robert Byrd??? Or at the very least, when is Sheila Jackson Lee and John Conyers going to call him out??? I find it quite interesting that he has been very quiet during this whole thing. He is not usually lost for words.
Why are you trying to pass the buck? Byrd isn't the one on "trial" here. Byrd isn't the one that made an ass out of himself a couple of weeks ago.
Byrd's actions today have no correlation to his actions years ago. OTOH, Lott's actions today speak correlate quite positively to his actions from years past.
Wow... you tear a guy limb from limb because of a remark that had to be interpreted wrong for it to be offensive, and DEFEND a guy who was at one point a LEADER in the biggest black-hating group in the world.
Think about it... but then again you people dont do much thinking at all do you?
AGAIN, Byrd is not the one on "trial" here. Why are you dragging a man that has nothing to do with this whole situation into the discussion? I can understand if Byrd got up and said some sh!t last week...fine. But he DIDN'T.
To tell you the truth, you show me Byrds voting record and his stance on the issues. Then you show me Lott's stance. Lott's voting record and his stance on issues reflects on what he has said in the past and what he has said recently.
I don't care if Byrd was the Grand Wizard (or Grand Dragon, whatever they call 'em) years ago, I care about what his political stance is today. I belive people can change...Lott obviously hasn't...well after tonight he has
Although American History X is just a movie, I believe that people can change as depicted in that film.
