hey brown to the bone....why not go to alpa and require an adjustment to the sneiority list....... something along the lines of "hey I think we should have some affirmitive action around here to make things equal. Lets say that at the top 25% of the list there should be 50% minority. THat would make things better around here. make everyone happy since now things are equal! Anyone who thinks affirmitive action is fair can kiss my A$$! I am white, so what! I grew up with no special bennies, I grew up in a poor area, I grew up with a single mother, I grew up with a family that got that terrible cheese and bread and was happy. I paid my way, I paid my dues, I served on active duty army for 7 years and saved to get my ratings and worked my butt off to go to school. All to be hired at a regional and hear punks like you say that I am racist for thinking affirmitive action is a joke! Screw off and work for your rewards. You should beleive that your MERITS account for anything you have gotten in life. I would quite out of pride if I was taking something from someone because I was white. Give me a break! I had four best friends while on active duty, one of which was a black guy. I did not see him as black, I saw him as a friend. But by your accounting, I was racist because only 1/4 of my best friends were of color, not 1/2!
Cheer....I am done with my rant (for now)
