Yea PR is all this is. What are they trying to accomplish by coming forward with this information and apology? was someone trying to blackmail them with this? Would it really matter if someone *was* trying to blackmail them with this? Are they trying to gain more "black" business with this somehow?

Slavery ended a long time ago, its time for people to move on. Pan brought up a good point. The only thing bringing up this crap can accomplish is keeping certain people in power.
There is little to no reason to bring up the "black/white" issue anymore. The ONLY reason i can think of where it is slightly applicable is when it comes to health care. Certain drugs/procedures effect african americans differently than generic_white_ person00. Other than this the differences really are only skin deep.

Continuing to bring this stuff up only helps to ensure its continuation in our society. White children and black children.. and asian children.. etc.. all play togethr fine. As far as they know that kid with different colored skin is just .. another kid, just a friend. It's not until moronic parents or TV shows or news shows thrust thes upon them that they start to think that that friend is different from them in some meaningful way.
