The Republicans found it easy to move Lott aside for being so foolish with his remarks - and they were probably grateful for the furor created in the press. Lott should have known better. I am glad he stepped down a leader, and would like to have seen him replaced under other circumstances.

But the assumption that the GOP is racist is outrageous and simply caused by political bigotry. The assumption that only Democratic intiatives and solutions to the race issues in this country is wrong, closed minded and bigoted.
