Well over the past decade and change since coming to the good 'ol USA, landing in brooklyn (and recently moving to queens,) I just find it hard not to point out more instances of quality and service deprivation that I've been victim and witness to - from food, education, and even sanitation all the way to (gasp) technology and information. The indignation I felt at hearing "FIOS is available to NYC residents," but learning shortly thereafter it really meant "FIOS is available to NYC residents.. except the colors" was - according to you, at least - misplaced. Guess I'll roll with that. Spotting, and making note of another instance of a trend (very much still present in corporate America) of institutionalized racism is taboo.
I once was blind, but now I see!! Some would rather have their dignity than faster porn and a new way to watch the same TV, but I guess I should heed the self-satisfying shi... that is to say "advice" excreting from a joe-asinine with enough cheek to insinuate that I should be content with what's given - despite the blatant racial indifference with which it has been offered - because he/she can't get access the same TV and download their porn as fast...
Why don't you offer us all more nuggets of wisdom! Care to share how you make those white sheets more pointy at the head-part as your brethren? I calls 'em like I sees 'em...
