    I am a minority who can read a map. I had a good education unlike most minorities. When the education playing field is level. We need these types of lawsuits to level the playing field.

    Right on “oh please”. Anyone who thinks that the Corporate Elite appreciate managers, supervisors, or plain dumb “whites” who discriminate against “non-whites” is tolerated, is stupid. No one likes to pay these claims. Especially the insurance carriers who by the say are also immersed such dumb mid-managers and stupidvisors. It is the underlinks who get the corps in trouble due to their breeding. The Law forbids it period. Just like these (*&$%S) spill out their hate for “illegal aliens” as failure of our enforcement agencies to uphold the law, they finally realize what the LAW is about when it comes down on them. HOORAY FOR THE COURT DECISION! Stamp out the haters.

    So now and then a corrupt judge can award corrupt verdicts to corrupt classes with corrupt claims that mainly benefit corrupt lawyers – and this levels the playing field.

    You shouldn’t be allowed to vote, drive, speak to anyone or get out of bed. Go shoot yourself.

    It’s really scary to think that these people who are making these racist comments are in positions of power to employ people. It’s defintely people like them that keep racism in the workplace an ongoing occurrence. I guess you don’t believe that people of color are smart enough to even read the Insurance Journal, also?

    It’s just like the majority to either (a) turn to terms like “liberal” or conservative” to vouch for their stance or (b) discuss the “greedy” attorney. Attornies have their place in society just like everyone else.

    Just think about the broker functions, NAPSLO, RIMS and THINK about who you see there. YOU! If you attended a mostly minority event then YOU would feel out of place. Well, that’s the way most if not all Fortune 1000 companies are structured. I am not saying that everyone that is in the “majority” is a racist, but until you at least acknowledge that the pendulum of hiring and firing swings a certain way then these lawsuits will keep coming.

    If you are in anyway “liberal”, Mr and Mrs Racist comments, then just admit that there are probably only a handful of minorities you know and you don’t bother to get to know any others. You’d much rather keep to your ignorant stereotypes and just think that certain people want to do menial labor and nothing else and/or their too stupid to do anything else.

    I.E. Look at a list of inventions just for the 20th century alone and you will see use items used everyday invented by people of color.

    How’s the playing field level when the minorities that you speak of are uneducated because they choose to be..not because they can’t or won’t?? Maybe the minorities like yourself, who are educated (at least that’s what you say…I am beginning to wonder though…)should be wondering why their fellow minority general public aren’t getting educated.

    If they don’t get any portion of their college paid for through their own merit, then get a job and work to pay for their education at a community college…grants and loans could be a way to go as well…but as has been stated in a previous comment…they should get off their minority butt and get busy making their future happen rather than sitting around waiting for someone to give it to them.

    THAT would make the playing field level…this lawsuit has done the exact opposite.

    You are a dope too. It is the courts that award such verdicts and payouts that are racist beccause they believe that a simple test for MAP READING SKILLS IS INHERENTLY RACIST. Do you think that it is racist to require drivers to be able to read a map?! What is racist about criticizing the judges who award such verdicts WHO AGREE THAT MINORITIES ARE TOO STUPID TO READ A MAP?!?! Do you agree with that? Do you agree that a job requiring maps to be read is racist? You can’t reason enough to understand the point here. It’s not because you are a minority, it’s because you don’t know how to think.

    Al, you’re just plain ignorant. “African Pride” right on!!! Most of us “minorities” burn the midnight oil getting an education. That’s why we’re responding here to you haters. We’ve learn about your history and why you hate people of color regardless of their education. Espcially those who are better educated than you miserable creeps.

    I note the success of racist incitement by the party of Republicans for personal gain in the US. Disgraced tattle-tale Rove, Exposed Bush, increasingly ridiculed Cheney, demonstrably incompetent Condi, oxycontin addicted Limbaugh, “saluting” O’Reilly, just plain stupid Hannity, Rupert Murdoch’s (not an American citizen, eh?) puppet FOX News serving as a 1930s and 40s style German propoaganda arm, bitter, raw and openly racist Michael Savage, Laura nude-pictures what’s-her-name, etc. etc. have been pioneers in stirring up and politicizing racial hatred in the US so they can seize power. And with that power, chaps, they have engineered the most massive campaign of public commonwealth THEFT of both property and young lives, posing as government, that comprises the last six and one half years and the coming one and one half years. Just you wait to see what these people will steal and try to steal from you in the few months left for them in office–maybe they’ll start a new war in Iran to create an emergency and suspend elections. Power is hard to give up–just look at Fidel and Hugo Chavez, not to mention Bush’s professed soul-mate Putin.

    As others see you–now, carry on.
