Move Over, Colbert
ByEliot Spitzer's dad is even less racist than you are:
In the sharpest exchange during Mr. Spitzer’s hour on the stand, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Anthony C. Ofodile, pushed to get him to admit that he was conscious of the race of the building’s doormen and porters.
“I did not see a white doorman or a black doorman,” Mr. Spitzer said.
Mr. Ofodile immediately challenged that assertion, and Mr. Spitzer quickly elaborated.
“I don’t see the blackness or whiteness or pinkness or yellowness of a doorman,” he said. “I have a mind that focuses on the fact that he is a doorman and functions as a doorman.”
Mr. Spitzer testified without any hint of anger and was unruffled during cross-examination. He wore a charcoal gray suit and light blue tie.
Charcoal gray and light blue: them's the colors of balls.
