Drew, I truly respect most of your views. But I think you're missing the point here.
My original post calling out CargoBob and C175 had nothing to do with "AA ". It had to do with racist comments (as did SEGATAKI's post). Now whether they realized what they were saying is another topic...ignorance or true feelings...but I digress...
CargoBob's post implied that Calloway attacked the crew simply because he was black, hired under a "minority quota". Do you really believe that?
Calloway attacked a FedEx crew because he was caught in blatant lies, and wanted to punish those who caught him. NOT because he was a minority...NOT because he was hired under some Affirmative Action/minority quota policy.
CargoBob's post implied that FedEx shouldn't hire any minorities...you know how unstable THEY can be. Any one of them will take a crash axe to another crew at anytime...God forbid.
Is that the view you wanted to defend?
