Go here and give me your opinion

Your point is well taken.

I personally could care less what your race is. Don't take this wrong or as pious but I try to live my life race neutral. With much difficulty I must confess.

I will relate a personal experience in this regard that I cherish. A friend/co-worker and I were playing golf one day discussing a future construction project. He asked who the engineer was and I told him. I suppose he had heard the name before and asked me if he was black. I looked him straight in the face and told him without a flinch that I had never noticed (of course a lie). He was speechless and the look on his face was priceless.

Would you mind telling me your purpose behind posting this article in the first place. These threads rarely if ever take the desired tack.

Just saw your number 285.

I posted the article hoping to get some responses from professional types here at FR on their experiences and first hand knowledge. I am a retired factory worker. It's a whole different world, I'm sure.
