Here is where I've written more about it, if you're interested (and the link works). It's stupid, I know, but like I've said, I think being open and honest about these feelings is an important part of ...everything.<BR/><BR/>http://costanzabookclub.blogspot.com/2006/07/larry-david-and-liberal-guilt.htmlPacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-1165037628202785522006-12-01T23:33:00.000-06:002006-12-01T23:33:00.000-06:00Bigotry aside, I am concerned that you may be deve...Bigotry aside, I am concerned that you may be developing the "guilty White conscious." Stop. If you start feeling overwrought and guilty about how you deal with non Whites, it's going to color your perspective - and not in a good way. Acting out of guilt is not not the same as genuinely dealing with a non White as an equivalent human being, but it may give you a false sense of security that it might.Head Chick In Chargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558246319380142253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-1165024427457249682006-12-01T19:53:00.000-06:002006-12-01T19:53:00.000-06:00From now on this is all I will say: When southern ...From now on this is all I will say: When southern states stop using the Confederate flag for official things, I'll give up my biases of the south.

However, I think that your data interpretation in this particular case does not take into account the various data that lead to the result.<BR/><BR/>If Trent Lott were only being voted for based upon his belief that America would be better if Strom Thurmond would have been in the White House then yes you might be able to make that data interpretation. There are too many variables in this case though. For instance, what were the platform issues of the rest of Lott's campaign? What were the social views of his opponent? Was his opponent more diplorable than him in the same terms?Blue Viking Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816148189650832893noreply@blogger.com
