What difference to you does it make what my motives were or what they were not? I have every right to post anything that falls within the guidelines of this site and what others have posted based on all kinds of issues. I know who and what I am dealing with when I come to this site. The article was interesting to me and has been talked about long before this article was even written in the paper or online.
Let me say this for the record. If anyone had been here longer than a month, they would know what my political views are. A name does not "hit a nerve" with me. I have always thought of Bush and his administration as flawed. It is not my children dying or my friends fighting a war that is being fought based on a lie. I have made it very clear what my position politically is, so anyone that holds on to that point of view and trying to defend that administration just brings laughs to me personally.

Again, I have no problem with this if your motive is truly to have a political discussion on race relations. It costs me nothing to simply ignore the thread if I want to but if you start defending your original post on the guise it was "official/conference" related, you sound disingenuous.

Actually there is no real motive other than I can post articles like this based on many other things I see here. I have read in the past month things about going to greet soldiers coming home from Iraq and the Army-Navy basketball game which talked nothing about the officials or who was assigned the game. I did not read your post talking about why those were posted and questioning the motives of the people that posted those articles. If this topic makes you uncomfortable that is really your problem. I am not going to stop talking about the things that interest me and things I talk about with officials regardless of their color. I had a conversation about this issue with 3 Caucasian officials at a Baseball clinic about a week ago. They brought it up to me and 2 of the individuals lived in the region where these schools are located in the SICA conference. It is not my problem that you cannot understand why I would post this article.
