DMV Found Guilty of Racial Discrimination
Raleigh, N.C. — After a five year court battle, a Superior Court judge ruled this week that the Division of Motor Vehicles is guilty of racial discrimination.
Bennie Corbett, who is black, says he was forced out his job after announcing he wanted to run for sheriff of Pender County.
In court filings, Corbett was told to either quit or drop out of the race, because it violated federal laws.
The final ruling against the DMV means Corbett will get his job back and get back pay. The state must also pay his legal fees.

My point is, for an insult to work the reciepiant of the insult must allow themselves to be insulted. If you simply just walk away or agree and be happy with who you are, you win.
