Actually I saw the little girl and she was definitely black.

How do you account for this then:

Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Los Angeles, canceled a news conference today with civil rights groups after learning that the girl subjected to Riordan's joke was white, not African-American.

Isis' mother, Trinity Lila, was baffled both by Riordan's statement and Dymally's actions.

``Does it matter that she's white?'' asked Lila, who isn't sure if Riordan should step down, given his apologies. ``If he feels that the man should step down, does it matter that she's white?''

I'm not sure which girl you saw.

So you are taking the word of a "so-called" reporter?

Okay, good luck then.
