- I tend to agree. After all, do you really believe that all 50
- companies rejected you because of your skin color? Aftr all, unless
- they were all small, I bet they all had at least some token blacks.
- Why couldn't you get lucky and be a token? Probably because there
- were reasons besides the melanin content of your skin that people did
- not want you to work for them.
