Racism still exists... and we need to break down those barriers... but it all has blown out of proportion. They found an opportunity to take someone down in the media, and take them down they did. He made stupid remarks. He apologized... It should have ended with that. The fact that the networks AND sponsors dropped support for him so quickly scares me. Free speech, even UNPOPULAR speech is still protected under the Constitution... Ugh... this kind of stuff just irritates the crap out of me. It is and it isn’t a big deal.
