. . . gets to brush past their outrageous and offensive slander with an 'apology' like this non-one:

Hopkins surgeon Ben Carson apologizes for ‘choice of words’ on gay marriage http://wapo.st/YJj3i4
“I think people have completely taken the wrong meaning out of what I was saying,” the 61-year-old surgeon said in a telephone interview Friday. “First of all, I certainly believe gay people should have all the rights that anybody else has.”
He added, “Now, perhaps, the examples were not the best choice of words, and I certainly apologize if I offended anyone.”
Carson said: “But the point that I was making was that no group of individuals, whoever they are, whatever their belief systems, gets to change traditional definitions.”
. . . physician, heal yourself.
We understand, completely, what you've said. This non-apology is another peel off of the onion. I can just see Carson listening to people in the past -- who would regarded him as inferior because of the dark color of his skin -- telling him that he and his 'group' will never change the 'traditional definition' of intelligence and race.
