  • I Have a Dream Speech

    Don signed his contract on 23 July 1963, so MLK's I Have a Dream speech (28 Aug '63) should take place during an upcoming episode. It will be interesting to see how it plays out: I predict its going to hit a few of Sterling Cooper's people hard, and will perhaps give Don more fodder for his existential angst. Pete too could be visibly affected ...

  • Re: Blacks do not need racial harmony or white americans

    Ironically enough, I'm a white guy who was born in 1954. I've also had the opportunity to live in black neighborhoods, work in majority black settings, and reflect on the white racism of my family, co-workers, and people I've met on the way. In the final analysis, soulgroove07 is overly generous toward whites. In fact, he doesn't mention ...
