It appears we (black people) may have lost a potential employer in South
Africa because of somebody's foolish utterances. I only hope that Jerry
Medley is not permanently deterred from her kind gestures, in terms of
trying to "connect" on a human level with other black people in the
diaspora.

Baseless suspicions and false accusations are counter productive to
foreign investments in Africa. It will be in our best interest to keep an
open mind, folks.

O.B.
