OSH Disappointments

But maybe blacks in America weren't allowed to move on. Maybe after
centuries of slavery and violent discrimination they couldn't.

I know a few African-American University of Iowa professors and employees
who would kick your ass for saying that. Over a beer (after they've dusted
you off) they would tell you all day long that success in this country is
open to ALL, only requiring an education and hard work.

Or are you implying otherwise?

Can you possibly consider the idea that the african experience with
discrimination was far worse than white immigrants, and maybe now most
of the country, including lots of whites, are uncomfortable to a small
or large degree with anything associated with the word "confederate"?

To be uncomfortable over a cute joke about an event that occurred over 140
years ago says a lot more about the people who are upset than it does about
those of us who think the whole controversy is silly.

But the job is done. And the beat goes on.
