oh of course not!!!
On Thursday, Pisone offered an apology to Jefferson during an television interview with WPXI 11 News, calling what he said "stupid" and saying he was "angry."
<snip>
Asked by the WPXI reported if he is racist, Pison replied, "I wouldn't say I'm completely racist ... I exploded and I went to what I thought would cut the deepest, and that was very stupid of me."

I do not agree with this one - "I wouldn't say I'm completely racist."

(50,986 posts)the protestors at all. They were conducting a peaceful and principled protest on a current issue with local impact. As citizens, they are allowed to do so.
What made you angry is not their specific claims against fracking but that by making the issue public they placed your employer in an unflattering light. And rather than re-examine your own role in the bigger picture, you hurled racist and vulgar words at fellow citizens.
Bad form, Mr. Pisone.
