That reminds me of a statement by Professor Tony Campolo of Eastern Pennsylvania University. During a speech he said something like, "A million people are starving everyday and you don't give a shit. What's worse, most of you are more concerned with the fact that I said 'shit' than the fact that a million people are starving to death." What Ivy said was wrong, but it's not unforgiveable. He was also condemning and act that we all agree was not only wrong, but harmful. Perhaps the black aggressor was a racist, which is part of the reason he punched a white girl. He caused harm and injured someone. Ivy injured no one. Let's have a sense of perspective, and if you want, let it be a "teachable moment."
