SINSULL - There's no meaning under God's heaven that I could give the term "white niggers" that would make it "acceptable" to most people. I'm not sure what he's talking about either. But I do suspect that the Senator himself was trying to make some kind of point that seemed acceptable and valuable to him...in other words, he wasn't consciously being nasty when he said it, in his own terms.

That's what I'm curious about. What was he actually thinking?

I doubt that any of us will ever know, since the media reaction (and public reaction) to this is liable to be hysterical, to say the least.

I am not gonna speculate on what he meant. I just wonder.
