17. Never underestimate the fury
of the pretty little white girl scorned...

Trump asked her if she thought she was "better" than Randal (clip form the Larry King interview). You know the answer.

Amazing that 5 days later the "controversy" is still raging. Here's one of the best posts I've seen:

I agree. Rebecca was good but Randal was better. This excerpt from Being Black in the Work Place is for all of the double-standard "haters" out there.

"They take my kindness for weakness. They take my silence for speechless...They take my confidence for conceit. They see my mistakes as defeat. They consider my success accidental. They minimize my intelligence to "potential". My questions mean "I'm unware". My advancement is somehow unfair...If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive. If I don't trust them I'm too apprehensive. My character is constantly under attack. Pride for my race makes me, "TOO BLACK". Yet I can only be me. And who am I you might ask? I am that strong Black Person...with pride, dignity, and respect that let's the work place in America know, that I not only possess the ability to play by the rules, but I can make them as well".

The boss gave Randal the opporunity to make the ruels and he Trumped Donald's back door plan to make Rebecca "co-winner". Way to go Randal!!! In Mr. Trump's own words "there can only be one Apprentice." Let him own his responsibility to make a choice and let Randal continue to own his well deserved win.
