I am writing 4 posts at the same time and they are all half way done in one way or another. I can't finish them because, honestly, this is driving me insane:
From To Peter Daou and the DailyKos crowd, there are no black bloggers in New York City or Harlem | culturekitchen [1]:
I am just shocked at the glee with which Peter Daou has shown his disrespect for Pam Spaulding, Steve Gilliard, Louis Pagan, Chris Rabb, Earl Dunovant and me when he decided to not invite neither of us, or for that matter, any other black or latino bloggers.
There was never any reason for me to say he was gleeful in his actions. I still stand by every point I have made on that post. I believe though this one statement mischaracterized his intentions and I truly regret writing it.
I can tell you all that Peter not only has apologized for this oversight but wants to get up to speed on how to deal with situations like these in the future so it will never happen again. The man wants his consciousness raised and all I have to say is, more power to you Peter.
So, Peter Daou, please accept my sincere apology. I am more than happy to work with you in the future to make sure you get the right people and the right representation in events you're working on. We may have our differences, but we are both working towards a common goal. I am committed to helping you build the platforms and create the opportunities necessary for progressives to show how with our diversity of opinions and voices we can build a better future together.
Respectfully,
