Isn’t the elephant in the room the fact that neither group that actually was behaving in a racist way was investigated while the real victims of obvious racism have been investigated.

I haven't seen one single apology issued to the Covington boys. Have I missed anything?

Of course. Probably won’t get much air time, either. Typical sweep u dear the rug when the story is no longer useful. Surprised to see this on Compost.

Lexington, KY Bishop Stowe needs to come up with a big apology. His diocese will be coughing up big bucks for his hate-filled rants.

But they actually reported this. Are they trying to get a few more people to subscribe?
