Banned for life for his hateful, racist rants. But the dialogue isn't over...no matter what the 24 hour mainstream news cycle says and how quickly they will pounce and salivate over the next news story dripping with controversy and rating spikes. The only way we're going to keep evolving and elevating ourselves past this kind of blissful bigotry is to keep opening our minds, mouths and ears and really connect with each other -- beyond skin colors, ethnicities and race...beyond sexual orientations and religious preferences...beyond mental illnesses, addictions and physical/mental challenges...beyond socioeconomics and class. There's still a lot of work to be done and every single one of us is a vital piece to solving the brutal puzzle of inequality, discrimination and racism. Never underestimate the power one person can wield towards making positive change.
