Mick said, I have found that people of whatever color you happen to be referring to at the moment don't need you or anyone else to speak up for them. If it is offensive, they will let you know. So, we didn't need the Civil rights marches?

My experience has been different and if I were afraid to speak out, I would certainly welcome someone of your caliber doing so for me. Isn't that what you do, everyday, for the people you represent in the unions; speak up for them?

This is getting too far off from my only and original intent of posting: that is to ask for clarification in the name title.

Susan, thanks. I look forward to your suggestions and this is the last I will say on this, except in PMs.
