We have all seen or heard those nasty and abusive comments. Some learned these words at a young age and some learned them at school with friends. Despite this, we have learned to treat everyone equal; black, white, male, or female, everyone has the same opportunity to be successful in life because we have learned to not hire or refuse people a job based on different skin color.
