Some of the things I've been reading since my post are puzzling and disturbing. Right-wingers posting on their websites are chortling about how she's a Democrat and an Obama voter and a racist. The only article I'd read was that she'd claimed to have used unacceptable language in the past. But, if she's been practicing systemic discrimination in her employment practices, she definitely hasn't left behind the institutionalized racism that's endemic to the South, which seems to be the case with her treatment of workers in her restaurant from the mid-2000s to today.
