His apology wasn't for black folks, point blank. We were not part of his fan base to begin with, and really there's no way to apologize for something that appears to just be your mindset.
His apology, IMO, was so that all his white and jewish fans can feel better about liking him again. SInce folks were actively laughing in the audience while he was saying it, I think it'll probably work out just fine for him.
