[The art of an apology.]

Here is an interesting article from the Chicago Tribune, "Kevin Hart isn't the problem. The Oscars are the problem."

[The art of an apology.]

I read that article also.  She makes some valid points.  One of the things that puzzles me is if dealt with this previously why were the tweets still there wouldn't he have deleted them back then as a sign of being truly apologetic instead of as the Variety article stated

[The art of an apology.]

I will admit I haven't followed this story real close but it was my understanding from his 1st apology that he was already called out for the homophobic language he used and apologized.  I don't know if that's true or not but if it is how many times does he have to apologize.  I know I wouldn't want to have to keep apologizing for mistakes I made in the past

The below is from a Variety article I just read.  He could have handled the situation much better but I don't think he should have to keep apologizing

The turn of events followed outcry over previous anti-gay tweets, and comments Hart made during stand-up routines nearly 10 years ago. Some of the tweets were feverishly deleted throughout the day on Thursday, leading to an Instagram video from the comedian that only made matters worse for him.

“My team calls me, ‘Oh my God, Kevin, everyone’s upset by tweets you did years ago,'” he said in that video. “Guys, I’m nearly 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past, do you. I’m the wrong guy, man.”

Those words rang as a defiant non-apology for many. Hours later, Hart resurfaced with another video stating that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had given him an ultimatum: Apologize or we’ll find a new host.

“I chose to pass on the apology,” the 39-year-old actor-comedian said in the video. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times. This is not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed it. I’ve spoken on it. I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it. I’m not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I’ve moved on and I’m in a completely different place in my life.”

I just read the article.  Very good.  With McCain's & now Bush's passing and the reflecting on the men they were I hope things start to change.

I'm not a fan and of course he had his faults but the man exemplified a class and dignity that is so lacking in today's politics so I can honor & respect him for that and the free day off

[Do You Sit Or Stand To Pee]

there needs to be a choice for both.  Like boiworship i sit if I don't want to turn light on.  At work I usually go into a stall sometimes standing most times sitting playing with phone.  Also not a bathroom talker and some co-workers are so that alleviates the whole situation.
