] Date Posted: 10:39:07 12/17/02 Tue In reply to: sammy 's message, "Re: one more thing (longest one yet)" on 19:46:05 12/14/02 Sat So my internet is finally working at a tolerable speed again. Our argument really boils down to just this: is the Republican party by its nature and leadership a racist party? We have agreed Trent Lott did wrong and has to go. We have agreed that racists do not belong in any leadership positions. We seem to disagree as to whether the party chose them FOR their racist views - either overtly or subtly. Until a few weeks ago no one ever questioned Trent Lott on his views of race. Looking back, there was a pattern, but not an overt one. If anyone had suspected of these views he would have never gained the power he had. That is my firm belief. Maybe that is a naive view, but in either case there will be some serious housecleaning throughout the party. If not by choice, then by political necessity. That is good, there is some housecleaning that needs to be done. But, I will stand by the belief that there is no intent to build any racist beliefs into the platform or political base of the Republican party. I know I did not answer any of your questions in this, but with all the finals this week I've lost most of my mental functioning. Three more days......
