I'm white and your right. Sad we live in a PC world. You should of never apologized and told them to kiss your a$$
This person should not have to nor should he apologize for his observations and opinions. We as white people need to show we are better than this and that WE allow EVERYONE no matter their race the right to an opinion. That doesn't mean we give up the right to critcize but he shouldn't feel pressured to apologize.
He is right though, we use a fork, spoon and knife, and sit at a table with our whole family, mom, dad and our siblings.
He's correct.Just ask anyone working in coronary care units.
This just increases my belief that blacks are far more racist than whites....and blacks just love to play the race card and keep that pot stirred up. Disgusting, totally disgusting.
he shouldn't have to apologize for that. there are diferences ... we don't eat like black people, they don't eat like us... everyone has their ways... it doesn't make it wrong to say so. everyone needs to just calm down...
Brooklyn? ? Enough said #!
PC world is ridiculous. I wouldn't apologize for saying that.
