level of racism that still exists in this country. i think it s hilarious that the supreme court said we don t need affirmative action this week, then you hear this guy s voice. there are people in influence in this country who can hire, who can fire, who can accept you to school or not accept you in school that has this attitude toward minorities. i was bemused how naked and aggressive he was in his twisted mind-set. interesting. angela, your initial reaction to this? i think now my initial reaction is more about the statement. how repugnant. the statement is saying it doesn t reflect his feelings or beliefs, but he never once said it s not him. i know the tape hasn t been authenticated, but it s frustrating to me, being born and raised in seattle, washington, cliven bundy and now this, there are still things that were overtly racist. i never realized it was this blatant and this horrible. so, i guess big picture,
