Readers Rage back!

October 9, 1997
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

Readers Rage Back!

A day in the life of our postmaster

We are, of course, amazed that our readers occasionally disagree with our brilliant and witty essays. In fact, sometimes quite a few readers think that The Outrage editors are wrong, misanthropic, idiotic, selfish, deluded, or all of the above.

Mother Outrage always told us that even the dull and the ignorant should have their say, so we've allowed space below for those dissenting opinions (and for shameless flattery).

That is just like the Turner Diaries, I have been secretly reading to my students here in Louisville to make sure that white children maintain their self esteem and that black kids will be aware of what us "honkeys" can do when we get sick and tired of this soviet style oppression.

No one can take this country if we don't let it go. We have to stop being pushover patsies and OBJECT! Retake the schools, first of all, and read "VOTESCAM", online or ordered and realize the 2nd Amendment importance, the ACT ON IT!!!!

If there was ever a good reason for the abolition of Unions, this takes the cake.

Complete outrage! None of anyone's business. I would refuse to answer, even at the possible lose of job. Do they think anyone will actually answer them honestly anyway?

It was a real hoot reading the Raleigh News & Observer's clearly critical article about this "diversity audit." Why such a hoot?

Well, on September 14th the Charlotte Observer, owned by the same people who print the N&O, printed a race-baiting "Section X" in their Sunday paper, containing an amazing amount of blaming, whining, and deliberate misrepresenting of statistics, and including a full page-length column titled "Test Your Racial Sensitivity."

After answering the questions, you are instructed to score yourself, and then classify yourself as "Perpetuator," "Avoider," "Change Agent," or "Fighter." Questions that determine which of these labels you must wear include how often you: "Get to know people from different cultures as individuals," "Learn about and appreciate the richness of oher cultures and respect their holidays and events," "Take responsibility for helping your organization meet EEO/AA guidelines," "Make the extra effort to help your organization retain employees of all races, genders, and cultures," "Reinforce others for behaviors that support cultural diversity," "Make extra efforts to educate yourself about other cultures," "Call, write, or in some way protest when a book, newspaper, television show, or some branch of media perpetuates or reinforces a bias or prejudice," "Participate in volunteer or community activities that are change-agent efforts," and "Make extra efforts to get to know individuals from diverse backgrounds."

Yup, if you don't answer all these questions right, you're a Perpetrator.

It's okay when the Observer does it, but it's basis for a scathing article when the Durham government does it.

PUKE.

Is this real? Is money being spent for someone to come up with these idioic questions, print them up, and deliver them? So they can fire those who don`t think "correctly"? School studies have repeatadly shown that males score better on math tests than females. I myself have had a wonderful time with an asian woman. Would I be fired? If I were a member of this "union" I would do everything I could to get out. What a bunch of NOW based morons! Your Quote of the Day is right on target. If I`m not allowed to THINK what I want, then I`m off planet!!!
