"Nice. So the real story is that the lady in question was telling a story about how she behaved wrongly years ago, learned her lesson, worked to make things better and wanted to make sure that people understand that racism is not ok even when it is black people doing it. And she was fired for it."
You might be right on this one. At least partially. (Mark it down, I won't say that too often). I watched to full video last night, and I thought that she did seem to be saying that there shouldn't be an issue of helping color, but helping poor. I agree with this and have for years. Affirmative Action, if it has to exist, should be completely revamped so that it works strictly on economic background, not racial or cultural background. The issue of her resignation/termination probably has to do more with her admitting that she was biased and did not help fully when she should have, regardless of the second thoughts. As Scott has brought up, a white person who had second thought after committing such an act would not be given any benefit of the doubt.

I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. - Thomas Jefferson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:323218 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
