Its management-level staff is nearly 100 percent African-American, Peebles said.

Sounds to me like this place of business is ripe for a discrimination suit. Nearly 100% minority management staff cannot reflect the population in the area, so there must be discriminatory practices (never mind the owner flat out tells us there is and is proud about it).

"What we want to do is to have the best and brightest, and hopefully get to a point where no one will pay attention whether it's minority-owned or not minority-owned," Peebles said.

This may qualify as the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If you're only hiring the best and brightest blacks and tell people this is yout plan, how in the world can you expect no one to notice. It's likely a good guess that if the owner didn't make a stink about the whole thing ( for the monoey I'd guess) no one would have noticed.

It certainly is a fine example of how differently Blacks and Whites are treated when it comes to discussing issues involving race.
