Remember RiShawn Biddle?

BiddleThe former Los Angeles Business Journal reporter and L.A.-based blogger was dismissed this week as an editorial writer for the Indianapolis Star after posting a blog item that had, apparently, been titled either "The Indianapolis Black Democrat minstrel show" or "Coons for Power." The paper's editor apologized to readers and added, "The Internet should be a center of electronic dialogue, not diatribe." Perhaps the editor was confused.
