  It must be different where you are.  On the East Coast we have mostly 
  minorities working in places like Dennies, Bobs Big Boy, etc.  The place
  in Maryland where the Secret Service agents went to was a very white 
  area and they knew exactly what they were doing when they went there 
  because one of the agents had a friend who admitted that they were looking
  for trouble that day.  In fact, they made a statement to the waiter that
  they could have the place shut down if they weren't served more quickly.

  Clearly, the Denny's staff are going to be much more careful about serving
  minorities more quickly than Whites these days.  I've told my waiter to 
  serve the people next to me before simply because I knew Denny's was under
  scrutiny.  He nervously acknowleged with an "I know" and we were on the
  same wavelength.  But he was also a minority.  Call it self-discrimination
  if you will.  The white male is getting the bad end of the deal, even 
  though we pay about 89% of the taxes in this country.  Go figure!

  Actually, I'm fiscally conservative, socially liberal which is perhaps 
  why we don't see eye-to-eye here, but we seem to agree in another 
  discussion group. ;-)


  Adios,
