Demanding An Apology....or else
I was reading Al Sharpton's demand that Isaiah Thomas apologize for his remarks concerning it being not as bad for black me to refer to black women in a derogatory manner (you can use your imagination)
IT says he isn't sorry and owes no apology.
I was thinking of how often we see this now...someone demanding someone else apologize or retract a statement. They use some sort of threat or coercion. But I was wondering...if the person caves and issues an apology or retraction, where they lying after the fact? I mean are they sorry they said it or are they just issuing the apology based on the threat? In that case can anyone in their right mind really be satisfied with the apology? Just because they force someone to apologize does not mean the person is sorry. Why do we or they NEED to hear those words?
Isn't it really just a matter of exerting control over that person and has nothing to do with a change of heart? There sure seems to be a lot of this going on.
What do you all think?
