A Lot To Be Sorry For
What with all the apologizing going on for verbal slips, Larry Elder lists a few other apologies we’ll probably never hear, such as:
Dear Anti-Defamation League and White Community,
Please accept my apologies for calling whites “interlopers” and referring to Jews as “diamond merchants,” and, during a conflict between Jews and blacks, saying, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.” They were mistakes of the head, not the heart.
Rev. Al Sharpton, civil rights activist and former host of “Saturday Night Live”
Dear Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and other minority members of the Bush administration,
Please accept my apology for, while co-hosting a radio show in 2001, calling Bush’s minority appointees “Uncle Tom types.” I made a mistake of the head, not of the heart.
Sincerely yours, Gloria Allred, attorney at law, currently representing the black “victims” of Michael Richards’ racist rant
