I don't think Michael Jackson went white face. I think he purposely tried to make his skin lighter.

Probably b/c if it happened on the Conservative side, they would blame the organization or someone else. Then the Hannity's & Limbaugh's would rush to their defense and call Blacks the racist for still being offended and trying to trample their freedom of speech rights. Then FOX News would have chimed in and played the false equivalency game and pointed out a time when a Liberal made a harsh criticism about Bush.

Hanks had the courage & respect to apologize for something offensive he was involved in w/o waiting for it to hit his pocketbook or erupt into a media firestorm, unlike each & every Conservative in recent memory that got caught being associated w/ something insensitive.

Why is it liberals still aren't evolved enough to stop accusing others of what they alone are doing long enough experience shame?

What a weird man. Loves gays. Hates Blacks. Listen to how he praises them and gets all choked up and cries and stuff.
Wow. Just wow. How could they allow such a man up there and slander such a group of people? Heresy!

And it only took him eight years to do it!

Oh spare me, please. He only apologized because it just came out, right before the election, and could hurt his liberal messiah. Are you really this stupid or just lacking anything resembling critical thinking skills?
