This is James covering his a@@ he didn't like the city and he was smart enough to post it on Twitter right before a presentation in front of a couple hundred peole. Marsha, James also has a bridge he'd like to sell you.

Sorry James, you're wrong. He never mentioned Memphis, nor did he mention FedEx. James' tweet was his reaction to a very unpleasant racial situation. That's it.

If you think this about Mr. Andrews being black...you've obviously never been to Memphis.

This is about Mr. Andrews posting something publicly about the hometown of one of his clients.

It's really a - he should have known better moment.

Bob, the reason Mr. Andrews made the comment he did was due to "the emotional response I had to a run in with an intolerant individual." He's being a gentleman. Translation: someone was unspeakably rude to Mr. Andrews because Mr. Andrews is African American. I call that racism.

Thank you Markus and James. Good to hear the background - now I get it. And let's call it out loud and clear. Racism is never OK, anytime, anywhere, for any reason, ever, period. Let's never hesitate to call it out so we can wake people up and get it stopped.
