Well first, I am Native American (not full-blooded). Second, yes. I am as vocal for any who are disenfranchised, and what has been done to those who were here first is completely criminal. That being said, it's an entirely different situation.

I think that is debatable, but I'm going going to debate because I'm heading out and enjoying my three day weekend!

Love ya all!!

I've gotten more done today than I probably have all week!!

I'm being a good example and staying the full day instead of skipping out like most have done. I'm staying with the ship (my employees). However, my time is up and now it's on to bigger and better things!

Ok, so you're tired of the slavery excuse. Since you've never been one we all hear you loud and clear.

So what about blacks not being able to vote until my lifetime? What about blacks being thrown out of restaurants and not being allowed to use public restrooms or water fountains, in your lifetime? Are you tired of that one? What about the fact that still to this day whites have a significantly greater likelihood of being hired than a black person. Tired of that one?

What is your advice, exactly, to a black person that has been rejected from employment because of the color of their skin...or do you not think that happens anymore?

These issues of discrimination have nothing to do with slavery!! I am totally against discrimination the BEST applicant should ALWAYS get the job! Here at Allstate we dont know skin color until the interview! ANd the most qualified ALWAYS wins!!! One last point none of the blacks I have hired have ever been slaves and less than 35% of blacks have ancestors that were slaves! So do you think they all should get some special consideration since a few can trace their geneology to a slave??

••Unbelievable.

••Der. But it doesn't always happen, especially when a minority is involved.

••So?

ANd the most qualified ALWAYS wins!!!

••Always???? Horsefeathers. Enjoy your fantasy world.

One last point none of the blacks I have hired have ever been slaves and less than 35% of blacks have ancestors that were slaves!

••That's a bogus statistic. It can't possibly be true. Where'd you get that number?

That's the ridiculous comeback that's used against all who are disenfranchised, including the ADA and people who are disabled. "You mean, you want special treatment?" No, of course not. Just equal treatment.
