You can't use the fact that he marched as proof he isn't. I personally think *everyone* is to a degree, whether they want to admit it or not. Strom Thurmond had blacks on his staff - did that automatically make him non-racist?

There is no real way to prove whether you are or whether you aren't. It's simply something you know yourself.

HOWEVER, you do have to be careful what you say in a public forum - especially if you are a public figure.

(For the record - I've never seen Bowling For Columbine, so I don't really know what Heston said.)
