quote [ When Rosalind Brewer took the job as president and CEO of Sam’s Club in 2012, she became the first woman and the first African American to run a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. division, according to Forbes.
But after the Sam’s Club chief executive discussed the issue in a recent interview with CNN, some critics have deemed her “racist” toward white men and have threatened to boycott the members-only warehouse stores. “As a white person I need a safe space from racist blacks,” one person wrote on Twitter. “I do not feel safe at Sam’s Club.” ] What do you all think about this stuff?
I found out about this from another article - this snippet stood out to me:
"It's pretty hard to find women or black people at the top in corporate America. There are just 21 female CEOs in the S&P 500 -- that's 4.2 percent overall. The stats on black executives are worse: There are only five black CEOs in the S&P 500, accounting for a grand total of 1 percent."

I just think you can cherry pick any type of comment you want from twitter. Twitter is a good way to illustrated complaints or comments, but the people that use twitter, or even it's ease of astroturfing make it suspect.
I mean I have a kegorator that tweets messages.
I think twitter can give you breaking news and insight, but it's a questionable tool what gauging public opinion.
