Re: Re: Re: Racist

I agree. Also, I don't know what Jones was being honored for...can anyone tell us?

I know I have mistaken famous names before, it happens. I think people are vilifying the situation because it was Ray's name, in particular. But I don't see how someone would get off (pardon my term) on calling an old black man by an dead white man's name. What was that supposed to do? Insult James Earl Jones? He already said he wasn't pressed. If a mistake is made, correct it.

And what was Jones even being honored for?

But using Latinos as scapegoats was xenophobic.
