The Reverend <\/emphasize>Jackson infamously calling New York City “Hymietown,” and Perfessor<\/emphasize> Alan Dershowitz saying English au pair Louise Woodward couldn\u2019t expect a fair trial in Cambridge because “it has a very large Irish population.” Mike Wallace, between segments of a 60 Minutes story on minority borrowers, suggested that they might have trouble reading the difficult contracts “over watermelon and tacos.” <\/line>Wallace excused the racist remark this way: “Hey, it was lighthearted. I ask you to be fair.” Fitzgerald writes, “Isn\u2019t that what Lott is asking everybody today?” saying there was no “assumption of malice” against these well-known liberals for their off-the-cuff remarks. Fitzgerald cites Harry Belafonte likening Colin Powell to a house slave and Ted Kennedy\u2019s insistence that Robert Bork\u2019s confirmation would take us back to segregated lunch counters as “much clearer examples of irresponsible commentary.”<\/line>There\u2019s no doubt that there\u2019s a double standard, but these examples are not quite analogous to Trent Lott. The one problem with these comparisons? Lott has repeated instances of saying the same thing. Now, does anybody really think Lott wants a re-segregated America? I don\u2019t think so. But you can\u2019t have somebody in a leadership position in the U.S. Senate about whom such questions are asked, regardless of the answer. I don\u2019t know that Lott was trying to be funny like some of these other guys, but I\u2019m not excusing any of them.<\/line><\/p>\n
