Did he have any other choice then to say what he said to stay in politics? The truth is he was a democrat klansman racist in the senate.
If he was a racist, he would have fought against governemnt spending to help the poor and cheered the trillion dollar tax cut entitlements awarded to wealthy white guys.
He would have beat the war drums for the Iraq war to kill those...what's that racial epithet you like to use?
And most importantly, like any good racist in politics would do, he would have joined the GOP!
He did however vote against the appointment of Condaleeza RIce for Sec. of State, but since she was a self-hating black woman, that action again comes off as not racist.
