Geraldo, your apology is bullshit!  Your apology is nothing but a defense of a racist, backward thing you already said. And I am a yogi, and I generally don’t speak like this, but I have to say it like it is. It is a non-apology apology that continues to blame the victim for their appearance.

Although a black preacher may warn his congregation or a black father may tell his son that we live in a society where they can be singled out, where they’re going to have to defend themselves against the racism that exists in America, it is not for you to go out on the most Conservative news network and say something insensitive and enabling on a show that you know promotes the most negative stereotypes. To go in front of them is dramatically different than a black or Latino father telling his son to “watch out, the world is still full of racism and you’re at risk.”

A lot of the prominent Fox contributors of color make people comfortable with their insensitive attitudes; don’t be one of them. You’re always playing your stripes of having been an activist, which has inspired me throughout the years, don’t now try to play to cheap seats.  It’s like telling women not to wear skirts because they could get raped. That’s what you just did. It’s freaking horrible. It’s inexcusable. And you’re my friend, my friend for many years. I have a great amount of respect for you, but zero respect for your apology and for what you said.

Hoodies Up.

Justice For Trayvon!
