He's disavowed segregation [1]--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:25, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Did you read the article? Тytalk 01:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
"In 2002 Lott issued an apology after receiving criticism for a statement in which he appeared to support the segregationist position held by Strom Thurmond during the latter's 1948 presidential bid." It's one sentence out of a two-sentence article. Kinda hard to miss. PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 01:28, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
What I read is that he is in Category:Segregationists. How about a category for former segregationists?--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
If you feel like it, by all means make the category. Тytalk 01:37, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
When do I ever feel like it? But seriously, labeling him a segregationist is kind of like a slap in the face. Or I'm that bad at metaphors similes--User:Brxbrx/sig 01:39, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
