Sad but true. I am NOT at all trying to be nasty or mean, just truth.

wow....i don't know what the educational demographic is that you are sampling, but I think it is from the 1950's....

I'm white, couldn't be happier.

"I want someone who will be on time, greet customers properly, dress presentably, be aware of how urgent situations are, and be quick to follow directions....", this is the potential employee the boss is looking for. Race is not mentioned.

uhhh... yes it was.

b) PG Cnty...Bus pulls to a stop with lights. 8 kids ( 30 yards from the corner)
look at the bus, have no books or book bags...saunter/swagger across traffic and painfully slowly load into the bus....3 minutes passed.
.

Maybe the kids at stop B had all of thier books hidden in thier prison wallet.

Is that prejudice or experience?
