Top DOJer Called Voting-Rights Official "Black and Bitter"
This might be the most horrifying excerpt from the Schlozman report:
In that incident in August 2004, Voting Section Chief John Tanner sent an e-mail to Schlozman asking Schlozman to bring coffee for him to a meeting both were scheduled to attend.
Schlozman replied asking Tanner how he liked his coffee.
Tanner's response was, "Mary Frances Berry style - black and bitter."
Berry is an African-American who was the Chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from November 1993 until late 2004.
check out link and see what Schlozman did with Tanner's comment.
