Thank you. As someone who has seen the truth of what I said about tokenism in various workplaces, I know whereof I speak. Unlike some of you, I ventured forth instead of staying in my privileged comfort zone. As a matter of fact, I too experienced it more than once. Where either someone asked to speak to me about my pushing to get real change, or a fellow token person was asked, the message? Don't rock the boat. The other message? Remember who signs your paycheck. In other words, shut up and do what we say/want. I saw it periodically, and took note of the trend. I believe there was some actually research on this phenomenon 2-3 decades ago as well. So you and your posse can vilify me all you want, the truth is the truth. I'd not be shocked if Barrack experienced it as well. I'd all but guarantee it. That is was done by people of his party and the Repubs alike, who knew they could get away with it. Because he stood alone. As did many others before him. Go ahead, continue to vilify me for telling the truth, I'm used to it. So proceed to divert, deny, and lie.
