Guy You Don't Know Apologizes

020608johnstreetarmy.jpg
Hey, remember when Louis DeNaples said that he couldn't recognize John Street because all black people look the same to him? No? Come on, he's the casino guy who allegedly lied about his mob ties, and we want corporations to make a ton of money on gambling, not mobsters.

Well, anyway, he apologized.

I want to apologize for the insensitivity of this remark. It was wrong, I shouldn't have said it, and I am very sorry that I did. It came during the course of an exhaustive day of testimony, and it occurred as I was being shown a number of black and white photographs and being asked whether I recognized any of the individuals in the photos.

When I answered, I was referring to my inability to distinguish the people in those photos, and I just didn't do a very good job of making that point. My remark really was in reference to the difficulty I was having identifying anyone in the photos.

But that doesn't make it right. I sincerely regret the pain I have caused anyone with my statement. People who know me know that I believe deeply in the cause of racial diversity and minority participation on the job.

Was anyone really hurt by his statement? It's good that he has a commitment to racial diversity, though; I'd be a little sad for him if he couldn't tell black and white people apart.

Most people have trouble distinguishing between people of a different race. It's more of a scientific fact than anything else.

Of course, it's usually really easy to spot John Street because of his Bozo the Clown hair.
