5. Search: Forest Whitaker deli Compare apologies vs news
WHAT DOES GOOGLE SAY?

6. The other day I walked past this particular deli. I believe its owners to be
good people. I felt ashamed at withholding business for something far
beyond the merchant’s reach. I mentioned this to my wife. My wife is not
like me. When she was 6, a little white boy called her cousin a nigger, and it
has been war ever since. “What if they did that to your son?” she asked.
And right then I knew that I was tired of good people, that I had had all the
good people I could take.

23. A public space is a social space that
is generally open and accessible to
people. Roads (including the
pavement), public squares, parks
and beaches are typically
considered public space.

24. To a limited extent,
government buildings which
are open to the public, such as
public libraries are public
spaces, although they tend to
have restricted areas and
greater limits upon use.

25. Although not considered public
space, privately owned
buildings or property visible
from sidewalks and public
thoroughfares may affect the
public visual landscape, for
example, by outdoor
advertising.
