Move Over, Colbert
Eliot 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.
