LOL @ apo-la-lying

I didn't buy his apology. His rant was how he genuinely felt about black people. Hearing him call us Afro-Americans irked me because we've progressed to being "black" and "African-American" for quite some time. It's not as if he called us "colored", but obviously, black people don't matter enough in his world to keep up with the times and what we're called these days.

I would've felt better about his apology if he hadn't insisted, "I'm not a racist!" while calling us by an outdated name. I would've felt great if he had been real and admitted that he really has some racist feelings like many people have. He just made a huge mistake to angrily express those feelings.
