Steve, > So much for MLK's "I Have a Dream"... Disgusting that racism is alive and well with the elite...

That's for sure, especially those within the Ivy League.

Get this: There's a black firefighter in L.A. who just got a $2.7M settlement for "racial harassment." The crime? His fellow firefighters put dog food in his spaghetti as a prank. This after the firefighter bragged about being the "Big Dog" after a volleyball game. This after the firefighter played a bunch of pranks himself.

Of course, he got a lawyer who argues that feeding dog food to a human is synonymous with racism. And 11 out of 12 L.A. councilmembers agreed as they voted for the settlement. How easy would have it been for them to vote "yes" had any part of the settlement come from their own pockets?
