After the boss left to play golf, I found myself surrounded by angry fellow workers, all of them black, me being the only white. They wanted to know why I was hired. Of course, they wouldn't have done that if I had been black. I would have been a brother. It was a very long summer. At the end of it, the secretary, who had always been very pleasant to me (her brother had been a SF 49'er free safety, Freeman Something or Other), commisserated adding, you must thing we're all a bunch of crazies", or something to that effect. I said "It Has been an experience." She nodded knowingly. But she never spoke up in my defence in front of the others. I got more education than I wanted that summer.

You see a pretty, fashionable young black woman and she might have a white mother, aunt or grandmother whose advice she appreciates. She most likely has a diverse group of girlfriends who talk shoes, clothes and make-up. Those readers aren't going to care if Ms. Placas is white as long as she knows fashion and can give great advice.

Journalism 101. Next assignment: put together a conspiracy plan to get the Democrat candidate elected President without the right finding out it about it. Class dismissed. Rangel may be shown the door, but the media will fawn over "all the good he's done for the little people." It'll be a Ted Kennedy reprisal. You people who want to make a big deal out of Kennedy killing a person, shut up.
