Ted Galatis + Never Used The N Word Before That?

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

I wasn't there when Florida City Commissioner (of Wilton Manors) Ted Galatis had it out with another car - and you can read and watch the video here - but it does beg a question/comment:

Why is it that people, when they get caught saying racist slurs, always come back with something like Ted said which was, "I apologize for my use of the ’N’ word. It is something I never say" because just from a structure and data standpoint, if you never say it, then you wouldn't have said it, but since you did you can't actually use the word "never" in your apology, so you should really just say something like "I apologize for my use of the 'N' word, because I rarely say it, unless I feel threatened (or maybe just don't like someone, or think that I'm above them) and then it just comes out."

Sure, that might not go over as well from a PR standpoint, but at least it's honest.

P.S.

The man definitely needs a new fishing pic - you can totally tell he's sucking it in for the camera...
