text: I never called you a coward.
  
  I did take exception to the fact that one of your comment told a story and that you later said you misrepresented the facts in that story. I saw you wrote that because WW was tagged and I felt you were not being fair.
  
  I'm not apologizing for any reason other than I agree I was wrong to ever tell a person of color how they should react to something they see as racist when I don't see the same thing they do. You're entitled to your perception and I should listen openly to what you have to say. That's normally my practice and I didn't do that here. You are, of course, well within your rights to be angry about that.
  
  Mark is out of town. I didn't realize I was wrong until you correctly mocked my argument (‘The post cannot be racist because I dont see any racism in it, end of story’) and so I apologized immediately in the same forum.
