And the answer to that question is obviously no. It&#8217;s not as if Lott made remarks that only the hypersensitive would twist out of context into something offensive; his remarks are quite reasonably read and interpreted as being racist, and will be so used against his party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Roger is a tireless activist, opposing &#8220;racial&#8221; quotas and fighting for colorblind government as well as a fellow endorser of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.racialprivacy.org\">Racial Privacy Initiative<\/a>.
