Stitch:
As I said in my private message, I apologize for my oftentimes sarcastic and grating tone. And, to everyone else who I have annoyed or offended, I apologize to you as well.
However, in no way was that race comment pointed towards you or anyone else personally. Truly.
Too, I'm white and male and all that stuff, but every once in a while I do get a dim glimmer of life on the other side - and in those moments I see that race, ethnicity, sex, religion and color are more potent factors than I normally realize.
I think there may be something to what I said about skin color and nukes, but I agree that I said it in a non-productive manner.
Please do not take any offense, as none was intended. I intend to tone down my sarcasm as it often rubs people the wrong way and I end up regretting it.
Respectfully, Peter |
