Comment in question letter to senator lott Written by Jim Greeenway , on 22-04-1999 01:06 When I read that comment that Senator Lott made it made me so pissed off I could bite nails. I can't believe this man can be a U.S. Senator with his racist views. I am a white man married to a black woman and we have three children. I feel that there is no one in congress that represents our views. We live in Charleston, SC and there is nothing going on here for people involved in interracial marriages. I am going to have to start some kind of orginzation here so families with our views will feel more accepted in a Southern racist state. Well I am glad you wrote Lott and I am very ashamed of him. Jim Greeenway Editor's Response: Starting an organization in your state is an excellent idea! There are many existing organizations that can help you get started. North of you in North Carolina is Triangle Interracial and Multicultural Experience (TIME) run by Marsha Alston which can be accessed at: www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/5315/ . Her email address is listed on that page as well. Their website hasn't been updated in a while, but I believe they're still active. For other organizations, check out The Multiracial Activist - Interracial/Multiracial Organizations & Websites at: http://www.multiracial.com/links/links-multiracialorgs.html. Also, in SC, The Multiracial Activist is involved with legislation to remove eligibility for state-funded LIFE scholarships from students attending interracially intolerant Bob Jones University in Greenville. Last fall, I inquired about their racist admissions policy and received a letter from BJU which is posted on my site. After that letter, I applied for admission as a test and was denied by email. That email is also posted on the site. Currently, Senator Darrell Jackson, of Columbia is pushing the legislation. For more information on BJU's policies and this legislation see: www.multiracial.com/issues/issues-bobjonesuniversity.html .
