“Resolve the issue”? Whistle past the graveyard.

Jacksonville Leadership Coalition called the cartoon "racist, culturally insensitive and degrading to African-American women."

And rap music isn't?

When did apologies gain the prominence they have today? Is the deal today that you can say or do the most outrageous things, but as long as you apologize later, everything is hunky-dorie?

Regardless, so many of the things that people are apologizing for saying needed to be said.

This is a major problem in Boston. The murder rate is up and the people in the neighborhoods where this is happening are not co-operating with the police. There are T shirts being some with “Stop Snitching” on them...

CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE????? Please, Black Women are the last chance the poor urban blacks have of ever changing their plight.. because ghetto black men by and large, sure as hell will never lift themselves or their neighbors up.. and those women let the guys who call the HO's into their lives... So don't give me this "cultural sensitivitity" nonsense.

Ghetto "culture" has no culture at all, which is why it perpetuates by and large GHETTO!

Ghetto blacks don't want to be mocked, stop acting like a$$clowns.

Pull up your pants, get an education, marry your women and raise your kids.

“The letter was signed by Richard Burton, national board member of the NAACP, Desmond Muhammad, president of the Jacksonville branch of the SCLC, Marcus Muhammad of the National of Islam...”

A bunch of guys named “Muhammad” getting bent out of shape by a cartoon that hits too close to home. Whoda thunk it?

"Using the word 'ho' was bad judgment, and I regret that I did not edit it out."

They would have settled for bit¢hes...

"... Desmond Muhammad, president of the Jacksonville branch of the SCLC...

How does a guy named Muhammad become president of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference?

At least the gunman didn’t say, “Now that’s a good little nappy-headed ho!”

This is a major problem in Boston.

And, in Philadelphia too.

Bill Cosby has been hammering away on this very subject and I wonder if anyone is really listening.

Yep, it is. Check some sports blogs for the “Vick has apologized so everything is cool” crowd.
