People make mistakes and if they say they are wrong, then I accept their apology. Keep in mind that Gibson had been drinking, and sometimes people say stupid shit when they are shit-faced.

I had a friend who invited his friend over to his house when we were all about 16 years old. We were going to go to the store together, but his friend had brought his 2 4 year-old twin brothers with him.

When they saw me, they both started giggling and chuckling to themselves, right off the bat. So, I leaned down a little and asked the first one if he thought I was funny looking and he said, "You got nigger lips and nigger hair."

I looked over at their big brother who was turning completely red and started stammering and stuttering something about how they were so young, and they didn't mean it so I said, "sure, but what kind of talk has been going on in your home?" and left.

Racism is taught in the home.

I saw his friend the next week and he started apologizing and I told him they don't teach those kind of words on Sesame Street.
I forgave that kid, but we never became friends.
