ok. like with the kramer and now dog the bounty hunter. all the caucasians 've met HATE sharpton (and lots of african americans do too.) they say he gives a bad image to african americans. well how come when someone goes and rants about racis things, the first person they call is sharpton as if he's the King of Black People. i don't get it. one person can't accept an apology when you offend a whole race.
i'm MORE offended by the people apologizing to sharpton than the racist act in itself. you can't erase wrongs that way. you can't erase wrongs at all, you grow from them so you won't make the mistake again.
btw, i think it's weird how dog condones saying the word as if its ok. i never say racist things (not even against my own people), and if i did i wouldn't act like it's ok!
now thinking about it, there is a naawp chapter in hawaii that dog may be a member of, it is literally ran by the kkk.

I have to say I agree with you about using racial slurs or comments. I think until each race can realize that saying certain words no matter who says them is wrong, then we can never move ahead. Most times we hold our ownselves back more than any other caucasian person. People of color need to treat eachother with the dignity and respect that they want from anyone. It shouldn't matter if they are white, black, yellow or whatever.
