Patti LaBelle filed a countersuit against a Richard King, a West Point cadet in Houston who was on spring break. King claims that she ordered her bodyguards to beat him up outside a Houston airport terminal after he hurled racial insults at her. He did admit that he had a few drinks on the plane but was not intoxicated. This whole episode reminds me of how Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe set up ACORN employees. Considering the current racial environment within the country, this event will be interesting to follow.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
