Actually made this statement, "The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel.

Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."

If you buy that I've got a really nice bridge to sell you, at a steal of a deal. It just happens to be in the bay area, too!
