I can't believe they thought they could get away with that.

the company would try to defend this.

Welcome to DU!

i've been here a while ... mostly lurking, but thanks all the same. :)

I'd like to see what the locals have to say.

i can't post them all, but you can read them here:

some of the comments i recognize (and i'm paraphrasing):

"i can't believe this kind of racism still exists in 2007." (naive, well-meaning liberals)
"what do you mean you don't believe it? we've been telling you about it for years." (educated blacks)
"just another lazy person looking for a hand-out" (your average republican)

it's the other comments that are so shocking:

"yeah, we have the same policy at our bathroom in california, cuz the n***'s just crap all over the floor." (who is that?)

and it gets worse ...

these comments really say a lot about the issue of race in the us. people are sometimes very honest when they're allowed to post anonymously.

That's going to go over so very well when this goes before a judge. "Yes, your honor, we fired her after she called attention to our alleged behavior. But it was unrelated to this. Really. We swear."

Could this be the time for the United States to take a giant step for mankind by electing Obama to be our president?

I dont thing that anybody should be elected by using race, gender or skin color as a determining factor. I hear a lot of people talk that way and it scares me the way some people think.
