I wrote a reply, but I got "broken pipe." Funny, because I was asking if, as a woman, and part Indian, do I have the right to rip people off?

I was talking about a guy I used to work with, a black guy, in New Orleans, named Bernard, whose car was broken into after the shop was relocated to a black neighborhood. He went out, and he was looking at his car saying, "those people. What is the matter with those people?!?!" He worked hard, he got paid pretty good, better than me, he had a nice car, and he was engaged to a nice girl.

People like Bernard make me know it's not about race, Paul. I don't know what it's about, maybe it's about people who feel like they've got the right to rip people off.
