Is That POSSIBLE??
Levi Petitt, and a couple of his Frat brothers, have come before the MEDIA, in various formats, to "apologize" for their being caught in racist acts. It is not "clear" to whom they are apologizing: (President Boren; the assembled "Civil Rights Leaders"; to fellow whites --for getting "caught"); these are just a few of the possible "sources" from whom they seek "forgiveness". Those genuinely "offended" by their racist activities, both living and dead, are not within the reach of this message of "apology". When asked directly how he was taught the Ditty, the reply was: "we're not here to discuss that"!
That explains why his generation "caught" the old racism of tens of earlier generations of whites; and why it never ends! So, what good is an "apology"?? What does all this mean?
The black audience assembled before the cameras were an extremely small, and incredibly naive, gathering, that was unqualified to accept such an apology; even if it turned out to be genuine. Caught between the "HR" and the "PR" that reeked from the incident, the blacks come off as childish "stooges", whose religion overwhelmed their "common sense! They obviously were out of their league in such MEDIA-driven exercises. Whites can come awayfrom this exercise, somehow "cleansed", and safely restored to their prior anonymity, while blacks are further "demeaned". This exercise makes about as much sense as President Clinton's attempt to take it upon himself to "apologize" for Chattel Slavery in the Americas!
Stay Vigilant! The only way to end the marginalization of persons of color in this world, is to STOP DOING IT; in person, on the job, or within Institutions, like pubic schools, prisons, courtrooms, sports organizations, churches, religions, and Legislatures -- the list is endless! This "stunt" demeans us all!
