Witches' Brew: Too Late To Apologize

Monday, June 15, 2009

Too Late To Apologize

A former chair of the South Carolina Election Commission is eating his words. Rusty DePass posted a comment on Facebook that came just short of calling First Lady Michelle Obama a gorilla.

DePass was commenting on an article posted on Facebook about a gorilla that had escaped from a local zoo. He wrote, "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless." A political blogger went public with the comment. DePass has since deactivated his Facebook page and issued this half-assed apology, "I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest."

DePass then tried to shift the blame to the First Lady, saying "The comment was hers, not mine." DePass claimed Mrs. Obama made a remark about humans descending from apes. But so far, no one has been able to attribute that comment to her.

Remember, South Carolina still flies the Confederate flag on the grounds of its statehouse. The NAACP has been boycotting the state for nearly nine years.

Food for thought.

Speaking of the NAACP boycotting the state... how's that going?

This is what I mean when I say we as a people need to update our methods; the old way is NOT WORKING.

I want more than an apology from this douche-bag, but we won't geto ne because we don't demand one.

WHERE THE EFF IS THE NAACP ON THIS?

You know what, had they said this about Pres O, our country would be pissed (again) -- but it's JUST the FLOTUS, so we don't care... Black women are attacked so regularly that nobody seems to give an ish about it, no matter who it is. This is getting ridiculous.

The NAACP is a dead dog... the president was on the Bill Maher show on Friday and even Bill chumped him. They seem so irrelevant these days. It's all a mess.
