Fair enough.... not against voicing opinion pro or con, but resorting to a mentality that harkens back to an age where civil rights didn't exist and people were hung from trees because of skin color? Come on. Many of us on this forum travel extensively and experience myriad cultures, skin colors and religions. Most would say they are better for it. But there are those that lurk in the realm of "I'm not a racist" but call their dark-skinned clients and crews "nigger" and worse when they're out of earshot. Sad.

First I posted what I saw in an article, and stated such, I didnt state it as fact. I asked a question about it, Rich, or do you need staff to help you understand that? Secondly I never her called her anything related to race. Although if I were to speak in a laguage she chooses to publish such as her thesis, I could think of several very fitting adjectives for what she is. Bigoted, biased, elitist, bitch, is the first that comes to mind, but I read her thesis, I understand exactly what she stand for, did you?

I also think alot comes from where your from, and how you were raised, in L.I. i had friends of every different nationality and it was common for us to joke and rib each other with racial insults, wop-mick-coon-heeb ect...now i also find it interesting that the 3 or 4 blacks that work for me constantly refer to each other in terms that would cause a race riot coming from a white man.

I think the biggest tragedy is, that this President had an opportunity to make a difference, as he said he wanted too do. Whether you voted for him or not isn't my issue, nor what color he is.

The door was open for him to make a statement and set a new presidence in politics as he said he wanted to do, but he did just as the ones before him have done, he fell to political pressure and kept everything the same if not worse.

Sad, sad times we have upon us in this country and it will take a long, long time to change it, if it ever does.

Just my thoughts,
Troy

It kind of amazes me that with the news of the Federal Pay Master cutting Executive Pay, Perks and Bonuses - I believe the average was $500K Salary, $25K in perks, that the current administration could allow $1 Million in salaries to assistants...
