Maybe I should continue to read before I post (yet another) response to this
already over-bloated thread which shouldn't even exist in the first place
BUT... couldn't this all have been avoided if Ikem would have just addressed
it personally with Jared? I mean, do we REALLY need to be made aware of the
fact that racism exists even to the point of hypersensitiivly reading words?
(I know the word I just typed doesn't exist... gee, maybe I'd better study
the word to make sure it doesn't contain any possibly misrepresented racial
slur! *quiver, quiver*)
Bottom line is, if you got a problem with somebody PLEASE ADDRESS IT
PERSONALLY! (private email) Heaven knows there's enough nonsense to sift
through and toss out in this list as it is.
