By the way
"some think he made "racist" remarks 14 years ago and apologised for them 10 years ago"
If he apologised for them 10 years ago he must have said them 14 years (sic) ago so there's no "some people think" about anything - he said what he said making him what he is.
You really are inarticulate in your desperation to appease racism, aren't you?
