I am saying that about the black "leaders": Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Waters, Jackson Lee-well, you can fill in the rest. Those who follow them-well, YOU can go figure it out. Compare it to Rice, Powell, and the MANY blacks who have made it in MANY businesses, and whom you seem perfectly happy to ignore... If that's a direct answer to the implicit question of whether you believe that 99.999% of blacks have an IQ lower than their show size. Then I think we all know where you stand. As you said, there are times in politics when you can't really say the TRUTH out loud. BTW. A compliment is in order. You're up to speed on THE latest White House position on Trent Lott. That's no easy feat with this Administration, since it flips and flops incoherently on a moments notice. Specifically, I refer to your statement.....I could care less about Trent Lott. [Post #328979] Just this morning I note that very feeling being spread by White House aides. The president didn't do Lott, 61, any favors with his rebuke of the Mississippi Republican before a mostly black audience on Thursday. Several Senate Republicans read Bush's comments as a sign that the president's support for Lott is tepid at best. Bush, renowned for calling fellow Republicans good men or solid guys, didn't offer a single word of praise to Lott at the most vulnerable moment of his political career. Worse yet for Lott, anonymous White House aides are spreading the word that Bush never cared much for the incoming majority leader to begin with. washingtonpost.com jttmab
