[QUOTE="PreviouslySeeking..., post: 73640475, member: 398120"] Here's the thing. This was from 1984, not 1964. It actually wasn't "acceptable" back then. Maybe amongst homogeneous groups of White people, but Black folks didn't think it was cool to dress in blackface or as Klansmen. His youth also isn't an excuse. This was medical school, he wasn't a child. This was an offensive act that took forethought, it wasn't an offhand remark. I'm in my 40s, I can remember college. While I certainly don't currently hold all the views I held back then- I do hold some. Not all actions taken in one's 20s can just be discounted, certainly not without explanation. I'm not going to say what he did was unforgivable, but it isn't forgivable without explanation. He needs to be honest about where his head was then, where it is now & how he got there. [/QUOTE]
