(Mychal Massie, Left)
Earlier today, I wrote about Mychal Massie’s World Net Daily article where he erroneously claimed that I call blacks who oppose same sex marriage, “particularly appalling and ignorant.” Today, he offered a swift apology – which shows humility and class. I thank him for his effort to set the record straight.
