Ummm..I requested the thread be locked. You won nothing.

There is no reason any black conservative should just "put up with" treatment like Reeves' has faced. It's disgusting to assume someone black is a porter. When you see a black person do you automatically assume they are hired help?

Let's go one better: have you ever been anywhere where it's been assumed that you were the "hired help?" Pretty damned humiliating, especially when you are there in a different function (or for no damned reason at all for that matter).

I will say this much - people like mhking and Shannon Reeves have a right to be upset when they see their efforts wasted by someone who says/does something stupid. They furthermore have a right to ACT upon those feelings to prevent reoccurences.

And quite frankly, those who insist they have no right to do so are wrong.
