our own, un-resolved problems (e.g. African Americans)...reminds me of a Sunday School class were the instructor said something like "Don't worry about the speck in your brother's eye while ignoring the plank in your own".
We gain credibility and respect when we acknowledge our own failings while showing our concrete efforts to resolve them...that's critical in doing our part to make this planet we share, better...sound reasonable...or is our primary responsibility to prop up the "Brand" at all costs?
