No place for disparaging comments

Much has been made recently, and absolutely correctly, about racially disparaging comments allegedly made by the owner of a professional sports team.  Such comments are inappropriate and out of place in our country.

It matters not who utters such comments, nor does it matter about what race or ethnic group such comments are made: white, black, Asian, Hispanic, mixed, etc.  Anyone making these comments should be called out by the media and the rest  of us.

It isn't only when whites make comments about blacks that we should find the utterances repugnant.

Until the nation as a whole condemns and reacts appropriately to any and all disparaging, negative race/ethnic based language, we must all press for this level of equality.
