WHITE MEN

Over the years, have your people been trained and educated about the passage of Women in this country?  Yes, I thought so.

How about the passage of Blacks and other minorities?  Yes, I thought so.

Have you trained them about the passage of White Men?  No no, not the ones upthere at the very TOP with all the money and power.

Instead, have you trained your people about THE BOTTOM 90%?  

No, I didn't think so.
