I've heard rumors that the businesses don't like bus people standing around. I feel like it's discrimination, ... We have a right to be where we need to be to catch our buses.

If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.

The fair journalistic question is why they didn't call and get comments for their story from people who were in the room, such as Sandy Berger, and why they took until Friday afternoon to get that done,

we treat people fairly in the city of Clearwater, and staff procedures are in place to prevent illegal discrimination. We conduct training to make sure the staff is equipped to support those procedures. Mr. Murray and Mr. Jones were terminated for justifiable reasons.

We had subtle differences, not intentional discrimination of any kind, but subtle differences in the way we assigned people.

[Discrimination isn't always conscious, or maybe
it's just absent-minded.] I don't believe for a minute anybody allowed
people to suffer because they are African Americans, ... Nobody, especially
the president, would have left people unattended on the basis of
race.
