Oh yes, that is it exactly isn't it? It seems so many women of color come with this chip ingrained in them and it just isn't conducive to a professional environment.
Something tells me that Ms. Morales would not hesitate into screaming tirades of racial discrimination if she is crossed in the workplace. The stereotype people don't want to deal with is the one that comes with that ingrained chip--the "diva" attitude--the woman of color who are difficult, talk over others and in their face, intimidates, is loud and obnoxious, and claims discrimination at any slight or missed oppurtunity. This stereotype, and I have seen it fulfilled many time, is of the black female as bully. Something tells me if black women would stop behaving as diva bullies they might get more respect. Look at Condie--I bet she never behaved in such a manner and look where she is!

Hmmm, let's see: Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, "Jihad" Cynthia McKinney, Eleanor Holmes Norton, just about every African-American Democratic female politician.
