82. Not funny at all.
I don't remember making that argument and I seriously doubt I ever wrote that it was racist. But even if I did make that argument it doesn't contradict what I'm writing today.

Notice that I didn't argue against appointing a black person in IL. I pointed out that the state is in political turmoil so there's no telling who we'll get. Having a black person appointed in IL would be nice but there's no way of knowing what will happen. IL could have a special election and be without a Senator for months. The current disgraced Gov. could try to appoint someone which would set off another political and legal battle. Who knows?
