It's obvious that as soon as things aren't going his way that Nedir and his associate cry "racism". If the other company and/or it's staff had defaulted on a million dollar loan, not followed the directions on the bid, and had felonies that would make bonding impossible, and still was awarded the bid - THAT would be racisim. What BART did was correct at first - they were wrong when they split the contract. What I want to know is how any unlicensed and unbonded company was even allowed into the bidding process. It should have been weeded out at the beginning - minority company or no. There are certain parts of a bid requirement that should not be disregarded - the legality of the company is one of them. Without a legitimate license, the company is not legitimate. I have a feeling that had the other company been a minority company, Nedir's company would have used "Religious discrimination" for an excuse to try to get in the contract.

We are idiots. We will do anything, anything, anything at all to avoid the accusation, even from other idiots, that we are racists. God forbid that we should have to face the stern stentorian voice of Katherine Hepburn roundly and soundly condemning us for our Neanderthal legacy as in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"; Or is it that we fear being hailed and buffooned by our fellow citizens as the new up and coming Archie Bunker? Are we afraid, if we aren't like those sycophants who nervously orbit bullies, that the idiots might turn on us for standing up to them and simply saying, "Race has nothing to do with this issue. I am not, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be the racist who you seem to want me to be. The racists who tortured you and left the unhealed scars that some of you still know first hand- those racist men and women have gone and I don't know who they were or where they went. But I know I am not them. I may look like them, but to assume that I'm racist because my skin is white is, well...racist. In fact, as a man aged fifty, I've been the target of some very violent experiences that were overtly racist, committed by Black people who openly admitted it was because of the color of my skin. When I was a young man, I was dragged down an alley by more than two dozen people who wanted to have some fun with "whitey". I was tortured. Just because I passed the wrong playground at the wrong time. In the ensuing twenty-nine years, I have yet to meet a Black man my age who has had a similar experience, and I've asked around, believe me. I deserve to be a racist, I have every right to be one, I earned it with every beating that I took back then, and there's a lot of people who would go that way I guess. But you do know? I'm not. I admire African American culture and I've lived in and around integrated neighborhoods my entire life. Why? The only racists that I ever met don't know a damn thing about the folks they hate, and that's what makes them idiots. When people get so caught up in their self constructed worlds, that they no longer have even any common vocabulary to confer rationally with others on the outside their own, it's not stupid, Stupid, it's idiotic, and we're idiots for putting up with this obvious conman, Nedir Bey.
