CMU reports that BM's apology did not impress its intended target.
... a spokesman for OutRage was not impressed with the statement, accusing Beenie Man of being insincere and opportunistic. In a statement a spokesman for the campaigning group told reporters: "Beenie Man's so-called apology is so vague that it does not even mention what he is apologising for. It could be an apology for anything. It contains no explicit regret for his incitements to murder gay people, and no specific affirmation of his respect for homosexuals and for homosexual human rights."

Why should beenie man appologize? rap stars are free to tour what ever country they wish and there music proclaims the killing of other black men whys that music not eagerly campaigned against, by the way how could a next man enjoy poking poo it is quite disgusting if animals did it it would be thought of as a adnormailty leading to it being put down. p.s: sizzla's exclusion from england should be lifted it makes me sick how that joke of a group 'outrage'can say there doing any good why not spend there money fighting hunger or helping the many polish people curently flooding into englad with false hopes
