12/21/2002 02:50:00 AM | Timothy Ward Connerly: Segregation Isn't Necessarily Racist Ward Connerly, an African-American who has been spearheading efforts to get rid of affirmative action in the past few years, had this to say last week: ""Supporting segregation need not be racist ... One can believe in segregation and believe in equality of the races." Huh? Bob Herbert also reports on weird (or are they?) comments by Senator Conrad Burns (R-Montana): Back in 1994, while campaigning for a second term, Mr. Burns dropped by a local newspaper, The Bozeman Daily Chronicle, and told an editor an anecdote about one of his constituents, a rancher who wanted to know what life was like in Washington, D.C. The senator said the rancher asked him, "Conrad, how can you live back there with all those niggers?" Senator Burns said he told the rancher it was "a hell of a challenge." The anecdote was published and Senator Burns apologized. When he was asked why he hadn't expressed to the rancher any disapproval of the use of the word nigger, Senator Burns said, "I don't know. I never give it much thought." perma link |
