Moderator,
My private response to you which i have just posted does show that i apologised as opposed to your conclusion that no apology is forthcoming. Excerpt below:
If the word 'white' offends or triggers excitement amongst some who wish to extinguish the truth that i try to speak for, then i apologise.
I totally applaud your use of MLK's words, it would be nice to see that everyone on this forum goes along with it. Remains to be seen!
