[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 592094, member: 944"] MLK said in a speech (in St. Louis, I believe) that any man who did his job with pride and to the best of his ability deserved respect. I don't recall his exact words, but it was somehting to the effect that it did not matter if you were a garbage collector or a lwayer, as long as you gave all you had with dignity and pride, you deserved respect. I have always agreed with that. When I was growing up, my little town was predominately black. (side note, none of my black friends use the term African American) I watched one black man work 8 hours in the broiling Louisiana heat and humidity building houses, then go work 8 hours as a janitor in the nearby NASA facility, day after day. That man put every one of his kids through college. Lived in a house up on stilts with an outhouse. You see folks like that, you know it comes down to determination, pride, and 'true grit'. Made a damned big impression on a semi-spoiled kid growing up.... [/QUOTE]
