Well I'd like to live in the world you folks live in. Sadly I dont.

You want me to admit that race relations are at a point where affimative action laws can be retracked and Americans are treated as equal Americans? - No chance. Because sad to say, that AINT the world we live in. It just isn't.

You talk about minorities working freely around you? That's great. You talk about noone making overt racial comments. Awesome. Now tell me there's no policy about harrasment or racially deragatory behavior, and I'll applaud your workplace for being able to police itself. However I do not see it here, nor there.

There is discrimination and that's the bottom line. Some of the laws that are used to police this result in reverse discrimination and that is unfortunate. However the world we live in today WOULD NOT survive if these laws were not in place. Or do you really think 1960 was such a rosy everyone love thier brother place.

And the insistance that if someone doesn't like it to get out - are you out of your mind? A black man doesn't like being racially profiled, or being passed over for a job because of his race, and he should just move on out of the country. What a fabulous joke. Ha ha. It is to laugh.

Equal oppurtunity has no bearing here. Because YOU treat someone the same, or YOU dont have any overt racial bigotry, does not mean the problem isn't there, and isn't big.
