Yeah, they're definately racist - they have a thing against left-handed
nocturnal diseased marsupials. They haven't donated any money to me.
OTOH, I haven't donated any money to Howard University.
How about you? Have you donated money to Howard University? I'll bet you've
donated more money to Micro$oft ... Which side are you on, anyway ... ??
Since you're local to the aforementioned institution, how about looking
into whether Howard U have any merit to their claims? Does Micro$oft display
racist hiring practices, or other discriminatory practices, other than
failing to donate money to a particular institution?
