I find it really interesting how we are ofttimes on the same page. I agree with you that the mistake should be sought to be forgiven, but...time must be taken to analyze the mistake. The greater issue is not Don Imus or Michael Richards but it is the fact that race is the taboo issue.

Peace means acknowledging our differences and just then seeing our differences they arent in the way of me living with you and you with me in a community.
