text: Dogs: Ms Moultry is clearly a very angry person and it's reflected in her Op Ed piece.  Were I Black likely I'd be angry too.  However, I'd hope I'd still retain enough understand, compassion and forgiveness in my character to accept Ms. Shurtz's apology and move forward with an effort to work toward a greater community understanding of both race and freedom of expression.  It's very difficult to have that conversation with someone who is so angry that they focus chiefly on revenge.   regards, Gary
