CU Times' Nov. 2 story, "CU Blackface Photo Causes Facebook Firestorm," in which Potlatch No. 1 Federal Credit Union in Lewiston, Idaho faced scrutiny after a photo of four employees who came to work on Halloween dressed in Olympic uniforms and blackface appeared on Facebook, inspired numerous readers to comment.

I'll tell you what is offensive Idaho Credit Union [P1FCU]: That you would even issue an apology. Apologize for what, ADMIRING somebody!?

ICU, you need to apologize for your apology. Do you realize how this makes you look? You fall over and issue apologies and want your employees punished because some hateful, malicious people want to scream "Race!" over nothing?? ICU, apologize.
