Re: First time I heard of her -- thanks!
But it is denigration, and you know it. She got the positions she got in the late '50s and early '60s DESPITE being female in a world of men. Which means that she worked her ass off. Bringing race into the issue makes it sound like she merely lucked into the jobs simply because she was white, which is total and complete bullshit, and indeed a form of racism in and of itself.
Before you poo-poo this, THINK about it ... The only reason for your derogatory comment is because of her skin colo(u)r. Isn't that the very definition of racism?
I don't remember MLK saying "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will judge white people by the color of their skin, instead of the content of their character." ... do you?
