    That makes it okay? What if she were a white woman? Then the responses on here would be diffrent. Agree?
    Then she would be a racist, a rigthwing nut or stupid. Because she is Black she gets a pass..... Those that cry most about hypocrisy are the hypocrites.

    Think about it... is the store manager of a Wal-Mart responsible if the clothing in his store is made in Guatemalean sweat shops?
    You logic tell you that since Sherrod was a store manager of a company that was involved with sub-standard and illegal practices... she is to blame. So, employing that same logic would also lead to think the Wal-Mart manager should be held responsible for the lead laced toys sold at his store and any unsafe working conditions in the manufacturing plants... and NOT the Wal-Mart Corporation.
    ...
    Bottom line... you know what is in a parachute?
    Air. Just because air works in a parachute, doesn't mean it works in your head.

    I am trying to figure out what logical steps do you use to reach your conclusions...
    A store manager... that works for a company that is involved with criminal activity... is responsible for the actions of that company. That's what you use, right?
    So, you... as an employee... are responsible for actions made by your company's executives???
    You don't really believe that.. do you?
    ...
    With that... do you now understand why the term, 'Right Wing Nut' was invented?

    I would never work for a company that treated humans less than human....if thats being a nut, well I don't mind at all...

    Sorry, but you force me to play my 'I smell bullshit' card... because, how do you know that? How do you know what a company's executives are deciding?
    I work in a global corporation with tens of thousands of workers. The pay is great... well, fucking great. Full medical/dental... 401K with company matching of 75% on the dollar up to 8% of savings (try getting that at your bank)... fully vested pension... and I have no fucking clue what goes on behind closed doors in the board of directors meetings... upper mangement meetings. Sure, they give us the whole world is great news... but, I have no idea what deals the milti-millionaire exec are deciding.
    ...
    But... you do? How? Because, I really want to know... what decisions are they making up there?

    But the difference here is is that the Sherods were fully aware of what was going on. Did you not read the article?
