If I ran the Maryland McCormick and Schmicks I would put the best and most knowledgeable servers at the most prominent tables, and the lesser and least knowledgeable servers in back. As a manager, I know my management is measuring the bottom line, not the color of the server. The managers income and bonus system is based on the restaraunts performance and bottom line. Nobody else, or hardly anyone else, cares what color the server is.
i have not problem with anyone who can succeed and accomplish there task. it’s not a matter of what color of skin. some of the terms i hear today, make me wonder why we still see discrimination. african-american? wait – how many of you are born in africa and have a dual citizen ship? i was born in germany and i don’t call myself a german-american. many others are truly born in a second country for a variety of reasons – military kids, vacations, etc. we need to stop trying to segrate ourselves by using various names. in fact, we are all americans if we have become citizens or born in USA. on that citizenship paperwork, it does not declare a color, nor gender, or anything else. it does allow you to state that you will help defend our nation and our constitution. this is why we have our freedoms today. we need to stop and look ourselves in the mirror. there are some famous black americans who have made their path of success. colin powell, condelisa rice, and others to name a few. these folks are just recent. there are many from the past. as a society today, we need to stop and look at how everyone has help each other out. inventions made that help not only the various races, but any age. so many folks are smart, but when we start down the road of being discriminatory, we look so dumb. i know of two (2) industries/service that don’t use color as a bias. car insurance is purchase not based on color but on factors of age, driving convictions/accidents and many other factors. hospitals have a creed to take care of the sick – they don’t bar you because of your skin color. how many of you may have had a blood transfusion? do you know that it’s color is red and everyone has that. this blood does not discrimate because of color, only if it does not match the blood type (good reason for typing/matching blood). Not only blood donors, but what about organ donars?
JJ – you are an idiot! What do you mean “we’re” still paying the blacks off since slavery. Blacks were promised 40 acres and a mule and they have yet to receive it! Furthermore, quit marginalizing blacks into an uneducated category. It is obvious that you are used to the stereotypical black and have yet to be around those who do not fit that stereotype. Race is such a pitiful subject in America and discrimination is alive and well, just as it was in the 50s and 60s!
To MH– YOU marginalize the “race issue” by claiming that “discrimination is alive and well, just as it was in the 50’s and 60’s.” You can’t be serious!
I was raised during the 50’s and 60’s and taught that integration was not only acceptable but desirable. We were taught in PUBLIC SCHOOLS that all men were created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights. What do you think the civil rights movement and subsequent civil rights legislation was all about?
No one really takes you seriously because you refuse to take off your victimology glasses and acknowledge ANY progress whatsoever.
Individuals will always discriminate because we continue to enjoy a modicum of freedom of choice in this country. However, we shame and punish it in the public forum–business, education, politics–but you’ll never turn a racist’s heart. Louis Farrakhan is proof positive of that.
Are you seriously STILL complaining because your great-great-grandfather never got his mule? Get over it already, what the heck would you do with a mule in today’s society anyway, that’s the question I’m “axing” you. I don’t discriminate against blacks, it’s the other way around. Whites are constantly discriminated against these days because blacks have to have everything handed to them due to their inability to work hard and earn it like the rest of us.
