I'm so embarrassed.

Just two little overlooked facts:
1) Allegedly he said the NAACP could kiss his butt, not 'the black comunity.'
2) The guy has an adopted black son.
Exactly. Elinda, you have nothing to be embarrased about. In fact, I would be proud of this guy. He clearly stated WHY he refused the NAACP's request: 1) They are a special interest. and 2) There's only so many hours in a day.
Here's something interesting from that video. Consider these facts:
1) This man adopted a black child.
2) The NAACP had invited him to visit black inmates at a prison. When he said that he would go but visit ALL inmates (regardless of color), the NAACP was not satisfied with that. They wanted him to visit ONLY black inmates.
Question: Who's actions qualify as racist? His, or the NAACP's? Think about that for a minute.
