Blagojevich admitted that he eventually appointed Roland Burris to the Senate seat because of his race.

"I chose Roland Burris largely because he was an African-American, and I felt it was important to choose an African-American leader to fill the vacancy left by the first African-American president when there were no African-American senators after Obama resigned his Senate seat," he explained.

Mangru asked Blagojevich if he would accept a deal where he would get no jail time if he pleaded guilty.

"No deal. No deal," Blagojevich declared.

"I did nothing wrong and under no circumstances will I acknowledge that I did anything wrong when I didn't do anything wrong."
Well when you make a decision based upon race either in favor of something or against it...in favor of someone or against someone... Guess what the heck that is ??? That point blank makes you a RACIST.
