Let's take a look at some noted people who made mistakes in life and were forgiven and continued on:

21. You said it. It was 35 LONG years ago. What are we going to do? Condemn the man forever no matter

how non-racist and good a life he has lived ever since? And while I did not do that, as a kid, teen, and young adult living in much different times I, like so many people in those days, said some dumb and wrong things on some occasions around race, gender, ethnicity, orientation, etc. often in the context of "humor" at the time, in social situations, etc. Like so many, I grew and learned and haven't done that for many,many years, don't do it now, and certainly am not any bigot of any kind.

Very few people, especially those from past generations, didn't say or do something wrong along those lines.

We learn, we grow, we change, we can not condemn people forever.
