I saw the Hannity and Colmes. I saw the replay of his remarks. I saw his "explanation".

His statement was REASONABLY interpretable as being that being black predisposed you to crime.

He should have realised that, and made it clear through an apology that he did not mean that.

If you to pick the single characteristic of an infant that was most likely to predict a life of crime, what would it be? If you made a list of characteristics in order of predictive capability, how far down would "skin color" be?

If he had used the example of "aborting babies of poor people" he would have been insensitive but accurate.

I think he was sensitive to his remarks and I think he was accurate to boot! Problem is, folks such as yourself refuse to keep things in the context of the conversation and look for any excuse, flimsy or not, to throw the proverbial brickbats. I've said things that later I have regretted saying, as I'm sure we all have, but this ain't one of 'em, and Bennett owes no-one an apology. In fact, he is owed an apology from Reid, Jackson, Kennedy, et.al.! What better enemies can he ask for; a thief, a hustler, and a killer...wow...I'm believin' everything those angels are tellin' me-NOT !!!
