Sitting behind her boss, she flashed her crude messages one by one for all - and especially the cameras - to see.
FOX 29 are racist.
Really?
Jeff Cole KKK.
No!
FOX 29 (with a slash through it).
What?
Now those are what you call race cards. In every sense of the word.
Turns out Bryant, who takes home $90,000 a year, was none too happy that investigative reporter Jeff Cole of Fox29 News had been documenting her comings and goings for weeks, trying to prove that she had a habit of conducting personal business on company time. And she wasn't about to answer his questions, nor was she available to answer mine.
Fox was to air its investigation last night.
No doubt Fox thrives on the chase, but Cole has earned quite a reputation doing these kinds of government-waste investigations. And it really doesn't matter to him whether the person doing the wasting of taxpayer money is black or white.
To make matters worse, as he was entering chambers, Goode, standing up for his top aide - the one who handles his schedule, takes his meetings and helps push his legislative agenda - pointed his finger at Cole and warned him, "Don't you ever disrespect a black woman like that again!"
Especially one who's already disrespecting herself.
The whole thing could be laughed away as stupid if it weren't so damaging to those who really are victims of racism.
The irresponsibility Bryant displayed was an example of "the race card being played in the way that [white] people imagine," explained Penn professor John L. Jackson Jr., who cites plenty of examples of real racism in his book, Racial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness. "It really does do a disservice to the more serious and subtle forms of racism people encounter every day."
"Everything that says it's racism is not," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, of the National Action Network.
