Racism...LOL...how many emails on this one subject, and the target being "Blacks" (one of many minorities in America)? How many poster who responded to the original subject has apologized for jumping on the bandwagon to criticize and attack this woman, and the NAACP? How many posters are outraged that the "media" has again deceived us, even the White House did not investigate the facts before attacking this woman?
Just when I thought it could not get any worse, someone provided a list of "successful Blacks" (not sure why Tiger Woods was on the list), and then concluded with, "if there is a systemic oppression of Blacks, these men and women would not have had the opportunity to achieve what they have." I dare you to have this discussion with a "real" person of color...reality is not as pretty.
