At first I didn't think anybody would be given the time of day with their race card b.s. But now...after the past 36 hours or so...I believe you are right. Just pathetic.

Thought this might bear repeating:

"There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.

"Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs...

"There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out, they have not only an easy means of making a living but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."

--Booker T. Washington...1911. Just as applicable today.
