Mr Rutledge,
I would like to make one final comment and I will try not to post on this subject again as I feel like I'm repeating myself and what others have already posted. Maybe I'm not understanding you or taking the time to read all of your posts but it appears to me that your views of people are centered around black and white...from the "higher ups" who are all white to your "all black crew". Nothing wrong with having an all black or all white crew UNTIL you allow black or white to become the standard or value by which you live. In other words, I do not side or support blacks just because they are black. I stand on the side of righteousness regardless of race, gender, age, and even sexuality (thats right, gay people have rights too and they have a right to be heard). Diversity is a beautiful thing my friend. I encourage you and everyone else to consider diversifying your crew with the token white, black, hispanic, or asian to help you and others grow beyond the barriers of racial/cultural differences. If you do this you will find that we are different in some ways but in many ways we are also alike. If you do this you will learn to respect each others differences and expand your thinking beyond your own experiences. If you can expand your thinking beyond your own experiences, then hopefully you will see the wrong in allowing race to influence your call as an official when it (race) has absolutely nothing to do with the application or enforcement of this rule.
