That sure sounds like a racist remark to me. Why can he get away with saying defamatory remarks such as that and white republicans such as Trent Lott get hung from their heels for saying something nice to a fellow Senator who is celebrating their 100th birthday?

Because for him it's par for the course. He knows the very population he's offending is above his comments. No big deal.

The remarks were not at all similar. Lott's clear implilcation was that the country would be better off if blacks did not have full civil rights. Rangel did not recommend any such policy.
And Lott is not alone. White supremacists are still a force in politics in some areas.
And Rangel's remark was very funny.

Because Rangel doesn't hate white people, while Trent Lott hates black people.
