[quote=@Penny] I know right? Can you believe that this sort of heinous crap was only 7 years back? I'm glad we have completely cleared up discrimination in that time period. [/quote] Even before that though, I was looking for documented examples of it actually happening and I found three. And in two of them, the person got to come in anyway after a brief (but wildly offensive) forced-absence, and in the third case it wasn't someone on their deathbed but someone with a fever. My point being, you know, Democrats used to string black people up from trees and light them on fire. PERSPECTIVE. A little bit of perspective here. It's not so bad these days, really.
