Recently your front page featured an article about a "black student" who was rescued from "five white males" by a "healthy muscular white male student." The article then went on to tell us how the black student's employer reacted. I think you left out...

I've had it! I can't read another sentence without getting my thoughts down on paper. Before I go any further I want people to understand that I'm far from being prejudice. Guess what color my skin is? Everybody assumed white, right? Well, you're correct...
