GM's largest single shareholder is the United States government. So, wouldn't this be a case of Dr. Schlessinger's First Amendment rights being impuned by the Federal Government?
I can't speak to the comments for which she has apologized, but the multi-racial character of the caller's family resonates with my own experiences. My own father is perhaps the most "racist" person that I am related to - and his "problem" stems from the fact that he was never "white enough." He married about the "whitest" person he could find (my mother) and as a result I was harassed as kid for being "too white." Thanks dad... I think?
Color is nonsense. I've been trying to find reason and meaning in this discussion for my whole life and all I've ever come up with is nonsense.
I am constantly reminded of that Star Trek episode where the two half white and half black men were hatefully fighting each other. The characters were "disgusted" by the appearance of each other. The crew of the Enterprise, however, could not see any difference between the two men. Then, finally, one guy points out that the other fellow is "black on the wrong side and white on the wrong side." Only then does the crew (and the viewer) notice the "difference."
