Were you called a racist when you expressed your opposition to his socialist policies? I was. Many times. I guess I still have some naivete. I was shocked. It was the first time in my life anyone ever said that to my face and it was totally unwarranted. It was their attempt to shut us up. It didn’t work for me, but I’m convinced it worked on others.

I really do not listen to such crap. I work in a male dominated industry, so...I have learned the hits and slights do not really mean anything. You have the center and the right to rail against anyone calling you a racist or sexist...etc.

Please, for all Jen's do not let anyone else define you!

LOL. The conversations we're discussing here took place between males.

No one defines me. I listened to the "crap" once and, admittedly was surprised by it, but it only took the one time. I will, though, also admit that the first time it happened I was taken aback and not prepared for what was thrown my way. It happened once. Not again. I hope that is the same for Steele. Working in a male dominated world has nothing to do with it.

For the record, my dad and my three brothers helped raise me while my mom worked the third shift at the factory and my dad got home from the factory at 3:00 to take over taking us to all our baseball, basketball, football games and practices. And yes, there were scholarships that followed. Waaaaaay back in the '70's.
