No need here. I get the two face reference. But I still don't see Elmer's point. In fact until Elmer clarifies - There isn't one to be made. Jiminy

I get the two face reference. But I still don’t see Elmer’s point. In fact until Elmer clarifies - There isn’t one to be made.

He whispers with disgust to his assistant manager that we now have a black employee, while he stands in front of the employees in a diversity seminar touting the fact that racism and hate will NOT be tolerated. We've all seen his face before. (They whisper in disgust to the masses that you MUST vote for McCain to avoid having a black <strike>assistant manager</strike> President, all the while telling the media or anyone else in a blog or public gathering that HATE will not be tolerated. "May the best man win!" Oh yeah, they'll then tell you it's better to have a black man than that nasty white woman and her white husband who they hate even more! Certifiable indeedy!

When we give hatred in all forms even an inch, it will always take at LEAST a mile. I don't discriminate against which type of hatred it is - it's been long enough. ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL. Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. David Paterson has been a great Governor to date, I'm truly impressed. The last days of racism and hate are numbered. Hope finally, finally has a chance. We are all the Stewards of change and hope, each individually and as a group. It's our responsibility - we do so with pride.
