That is one stupid post.
--I had this discussion with a Navy Captain's wife (who is black and an attorney for a U.S. government entity in Washington D.C- we came to the same conclusion) I'm sure the people you know are great people, it is just an ugly reality.--

Did he go to jail?
I don't think it is stupid, I think its my opinion, which is what FR is all about.
