Did Lindsay Lohan Play the RaceCard?
July 30, 2007
Motivating young people (OK, anyone) to take responsibility for their actions is tough. It&;s exponentially harder when that person apparently has substance abuse problems.
But that doesn&;t mean you can blame others for your latest driving under the influence arrest, especially &;the black kid.&;
America is the land of second chances, if you&;re willing to acknowledge you have a problem, made mistakes and are taking steps to move on That&;s the first tenet of crisis communications.
People will be skeptical, especially if they&;ve been burned by your lies, but if you can show you mean it, they&;ll root for you. From movie star to imprisoned drug addict to movie star, Robert Downey Jr. made that transformation&;and didn&;t blame anybody but himself.
