I am NOT a good parrot woman!!!! When there is a racial discrimination lawsuit, the record of the court is reported by many reputable news agencies. This is fact, not supposition. Did you read the url I provided? I could cite others, but the fact is that there was a POLICY of discrimination at Denny's, admitted by its corporate leadership. And, in fact, wherever there is not a concerted effort by corporations to NOT discriminate, there is also often a subtle message sent that racial discrimination may be acceptable. I would think that a $54,000,000 penalty and the requirement that each allegation of further discrimination be reported is significantly strong evidence that these were not isolated incidences. And the fact that companies have minority employees is totally irrelevant, in my opinion. Employees do what they have been instructed to do by management, and are not acting of their own free volition, if they value their jobs!!!
If Johnny made the statement about Lincoln owning slaves, then he needs to back it up by citing credible sources. I have always wondered if perhaps you and he were the same person, using different sign-on names, and the fact that you have different email addresses is not compelling evidence to the contrary. I have two email addresses also!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!
I was aware that you were a businessman, Terrence, but remembered no specifics. Would you feel comfortable telling us what kind of businesses you own??
Your poetry continues to be right-on excellent, and enriches this thread. Thanks!!!!!! |
