    Stop Thinking Black & White. It's the Man, Stupid. It's the Man—or Woman

    It is the media that perpetuates this race-gender thing. And it is you who should get lost Mr. what's your name Thrasher—hiding behind your pseudonym for pusillanimous behavior. I've worked and lived in Africa more years than you have probably been on this earth. So don't "cum bay ya" me. You don't know what you are talking about. You remind me of the Wizard of Oz. Loud voice, little guy behind the curtain. Grow up and learn something about people besides perpetuating negativity.
