So Dr. Dre apologizes for his wicked ways back in the day? After profiting how many millions of $$$ off of his old schick? If he were truly contrite and remorseful of the lifestyle he now renounces, perhaps he should donate a significant portion of his net worth toward battered women's shelters and other such organizations? And maybe apple should show some good faith and corporate responsibility by kicking in some dough, surely such good PR wouldn't hurt their bottom line. The chances of that happening are slim and none, and slim left the building.

Beats co-founder Dr Dre following his apology 'to the women I've hurt'.....

Upholding the company name for decades.

I hadn't heard this, but I do admire when someone publicly denounces their bad behavior. It helps society to grow.

Sadly, the negative influences such people were responsible for are too often so numerous that an apology is not enough. At the least, a true new walk would be expected (but I can't know if this is the case) and restitution, to the extent possible, is best.

Black men don't witness enough decent behavior to prevent the attraction of gangs.

If someone else had made a vague anti-gay comment thirty years ago Tim Cook would have the person fired immediately. However, since Dr. Dre only abused women and he is black it is okay with Apple.

Compared to Mark Wahlberg, Dr. Dre is a choirboy.

I guess this means Apple also forgives his use, via initials, of the N-word in the title of the group. Of course, we all knew that OK because blacks can use the word with no regard to PC that constrains the rest of us.

But it seems that the movie does glorify that particular era.
