Rodney King helped calm racial distress more in "Can't we all just get along" than Obama has done in three years. King, I believe, was truly embarrassed by what was done in his name and felt ashamed of what he had become.

While there are a lot of simplistic replies to his statement I attribute them to people who are too callous to even bother to look at people as individual humans with flaws and who make mistakes. Forgiveness is the cornerstone of Christianity yet there are many Christians who refuse to even consider forgiving a man his faults.

Amen. Well-said.
