I don't think Lott meant to insult anyone. JLA clearly did. I don't think Lott had insulting blacks, or Jim Crow on his mind. I find intentional in your face hate speech much more disturbing than accidental inferences drawn from a statement that is not on its face objectionable.

I think it is quite odd that anyone would want to defend what JLA said. He has every right to say it in public places, but what do you bet he doesn't say those kinds of things in 3d public places. Just here, where he thinks he can get away with it.
