And I am talking in a public sense not saying that it is ok to offend people personally

As was I "talking in a public sense".
I stated that "if I was a trainer..."---hypothetical (no name).
If anyone took personal offense and found the need to defend based on that,
perhaps his words speak louder than his actions, though to me, actions have always spoken louder than words.
Some might need to develop a thicker skin, whatever color one is born with.

Which would seem to support my original post, no?

Let me understand your stance. It is awful for a public figure to "offend" a particular group even though the 2 have no ties or contact but on a personal level people need to develop a thicker skin?

Interesting question.
I'm not sure I can give a correct answer either way.
All I can say is my personal opinion, that being that one need not go out of their way to "offend" (nor defend). If it means having a thicker skin (despite its color) to tolerate racism, well, again...in my humble opinion, racism is not tolerable and needs to be spoken against.

Also, if you took anything I said as a personal attack on you, my sincere apologies. A good friend, who also worked for H Allen, and went to dinner with you both, told me of your ability as a horseman. Joey says "hi".

Oh Joey would say hi to a frog.

I just took the name dropping as a subtle threat. It's kind of hilarious and a typical move by the granola police.

I must admit ignorance concerning Imus. I saw a recent picture of him. How can a man with a head of hair like his insult anyone else's nappy hair. He looks absolutely ridiculous. The 70's are gone Mr. Imus, meet Edwardo Scissorhands. God Lord, a virtual hurricane of protein fibers reaching the status of Marge Simpson with a bit of color added.

But then again he is on the radio. He should request that his picture above the forehead be deleted.

For Imus, the 70's are important, it's both his age and when he started in radio. He's been trying to catch up to Stern since the early 80's.
