As the only cross-cultural dude on TIPS,I find it interesting that the judge in the sentencing of Michael Jackson's doctor emphasized the docor's lack of remorse for his actions.However,this is where I feel that some knowledge of comparative and differential racial emotional expressiveness could be of some import.Some black men are not in the business of admitting guilt,for example,Herman Cain. For some black men,"staying cool" is what they have been conditioned to from early childhood. An interesting cross-cultural factor here is that Dr.Conrad Murray originates from the Island of Grenada (one of the Windwards as is St.Lucia my place of birth) and those cultures failure is ridiculed.Dr.Murray might be remorseful but the expression of remorse could be subject to his own cultural constraints.
