The Iowa Decision Has Some Frightened. Maybe Not Enough.
“I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over the years, either.”
Trent Lott was forced to resign his Senate Majority Leadership post after making this racist comment at Senator Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday.
A decade from now, those who speak today about homosexuality and gay marriage the way Senator Lott spoke about blacks in this 2002 quote, will be similarly and appropriately ostracized.
