Now in fairness, Danson's stunt was far from APPROVED. It wasn't even accepted or tolerated. Danson was absolutely villified by liberals for the stunt. It even went so far as the NYC mayor excoriating Danson for the event. Many black members even relinquished their memberships to the Friar Club as a result.
So to say that it was approved or acceptable to liberals is complete and utter intellectual dishonesty.
