Two things. 1. I was very disappointed. I was embarrased to be there. I thought it was more like meet & greet. See old friends. See how peoples "projects" are coming along. Speechless. 2. Lets be real clear. I am African American. I don't use that word. I hate when others use that word, regardless of their race. Get a thesaurus....its filled with tons of words that describe it. Find another word, QUICK! BTW, that "whitepower" comment wasn't funny at all. Hopefully, someone (moderator) will delete the title of this thread. Thanks in advance. -BA, MS, 1st year PhD.
