YES you did ENY, i remember it as clear as day.

Thanks, dave. Very difficult to take, especially when I love the firm, the work I’m doing, and the people I’m working with (which makes me enjoy the work), but unfortunately it’s the direct manager who makes the biggest difference on your life and your daily existence, and I got the bad luck of the draw. There are many reasons, none of which are discussable here, but still it’s hard to stay even-tempered and good-natured.

Benson, honey, you get a high 10. 🙂
“My only concern would be some how giving him the message that something as superficial as race/ethnicity makes someone different from him.”
It’s a good talk to have because (as he should know) he (like all of us) WILL be viewed and or judged by SOME people simply due to his race. That’s the reality.
He should also know that the truth is that a person’s race is unimportant, despite the views of such ignorant people. The true measure of a man or woman not in their race, but in the content of their character, as a famous man once said.
Park Sloper, another book which is fascinating, reads like a novel and deals with the theme of the black south to north migration is “The Rising Tide” by John Barry and deals with the flood of 1927, when the Mississippi River flooded all of the Delta, ruining agriculture and the tenuous sharecropper system post Civil War. It is a long and interesting story and one of the best history books I have ever read.
LOL, CGar.
How about this….

“Bxgrl, Donatella, ENY, gemini10, Lech, ishtar, cmu, infinitejester and others … thanks for your thoughtful responses. This has actually been a very interesting and sensitive discussion, and demonstrates what a diverse on-line community like this can be at its best.”
