I also wouldn't be surprised if CB has internal documents showing that high level management was aware of the discrimination, but did little to stop the problem(and may have evern encouraged the practice)........You are pulling my leg, right?...funning me? You are seriously, with a straight face, telling me that CB high level managers are so stupid as to be overtly or even covertly racist? This is so outrageous....it doesn't even make sense. What would they stand to gain except ruin and misery for such a stand. I wonder how many CB managers are people of color?

I would suspect that the reason that CB settled so quickly that they knew that Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, The Rev Al and all other race pimps would get involved and do what they always do....shake down the company, start a boycot and do as much damage to CB that they could.....

No offense, but IMHO, this whole thing will be found to be an action by a few American hating, white people hating, big business hating "civil rights activists" probably from the Rainbow coaliation or the NAACP.....

I've been representing corporations for years, and you would be shocked at the stupidity of management. (I'm not talking about the board of directors and officers -- althought they can be pretty stupid also -- but rather, store managers and regional managers.) For example, a few years ago on Long Island a major brokerage house was nailed for sexual discrimination and harrassment, for essentially turning the office into a frat house/strip joint, where females were regularly groped and subjected to sexually explicit comments, and stippers were brought in to the office to entertain the boys and favored clients. Not only was management aware of the situation, but it was also an active participant. Who would have thunk they could be so stupid, but they were.

Not many, I bet.
