And if only the latter two signs were on the truck, I would have chalked it up to be anti-affirmative action, period. <BR/><BR/>However, the first sign said, "Blacks own slaves in Mauritania and Niger."<BR/><BR/>It is the sum of the parts that led to the sick feeling in my stomach. <BR/><BR/>And if I was wrong, and he genuinely wasn't a racist, well, then, my Obama bumper sticker shouldn't have bothered him at all.Lizard Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506056116023122414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-79969796756314605102008-07-16T23:51:00.000-05:002008-07-16T23:51:00.000-05:00I understand how you could be disturbed by the bum...I understand how you could be disturbed by the bumper stickers...<BR/>Although, trying to see it from the truck drivers point of view, I wonder if he didn't get a job because he's not a minority.
