I wavered between the Aargh!! avatar and the Sad avatar, went with the sad one.
Everyone knows I'm an Obama supporter but this article is about more than that. It's about one of the uglier aspects of America that we tend to hide. I know I cringe when I hear my boss referred to as "colored" but do I correct them? Not always, I'm ashamed to admit. Sometimes, I don't even tell them as to her real name.
This was published in the Washington Post yesterday. It's a must read.
