Latest Breaking News

I remember in the early 90s I was taking webmaster certification courses. They were the first such courses to be offered in NJ and NY, too.

I became friends with a woman from Manhattan. My friend was named "Jennie." Right away I noticed how talented she was. Part of webmaster training means understanding graphics, because that's a big part of a web page/site. We were in Photoshop and Illustrator classes when I noticed her designs were very advanced--far moreso than anyone else's in class.

She often came to NJ for the weekend because at the time I opened my pool and we liked to hang around there. She told me she had put in an application at Fox. I remember the moment well because I gasped and was sputtering pool water in response. I asked why on earth would she want to work there? She seemed oblivious to my aversion to the place.

Of course, I've been on this board since close to the beginning, so I knew full well what they were about. To answer your question, it was obvious as hell back in the early 90s.

Jennie told me she did not get the job. I said of course you didn't. She wanted to know why I was so certain and I said because you're black!
