I'm with Johanna. He apologized. What he said was dead wrong, but, what else is he supposed to do? Climb on the cross? And I'm sure that Sinbad was angry and rightfully so, what he said was horribly offensive and in the poorest of taste, however, I know that there have been African Americans who have spewed their hate to whites as well and nothing was said. I honestly don't care if you are white, black, or pink with green stripes, if you say something wrong, apologize and move on. You can't take it back, so what can you do? Never do it again...only time will tell if he was sincere in the apology. As the old saying goes....Actions speak louder than words.
And, he was being accosted verbally as well by being called a "cracker", so why are the morons that were doing the heckling not being raked over the coals as well (they certainly deserve to be).
And I agree...racism is racism...no matter the color. It's not just a white on black thing. Trust me...I know this...my principal is about as racist as they come. Even the students notice it. If the teachers don't have enough posters up touting African Americans, then she makes a big deal about it. However, she has never once said anything to me about the poster I have up with kids from all races and cultures holding hands in a long line. OY!
If people would just shut up about it and treat every living thing with equal respect, this world would be a much happier place.
