You were unable to avoid it.
:54:07
I guess.
:54:14
Thank you.
:54:16
But I don't consider myself
different to anyone else with AIDS.
:54:21
I'm not guilty. I'm not innocent.
I'm just trying to survive.
:54:26
Thank you, Ms. Benedict.
No further questions at this time.
:54:32
You may step down, Ms. Benedict.
:54:36
Apart from the marks on his face,
were there other things -
:54:43
- that made you suspect he had AIDS?
:54:47
He was thin and he seemed tired,
but he was working so hard.
:54:52
Something was wrong.
:54:55
They're trying to pretend
that they didn't notice anything.
:54:59
- Objection.
- Just answer the question.
:55:03
Have you ever felt discriminated
against at Wyant Wheeler?
:55:09
- Yes.
- In what way?
:55:12
Mr.wheeler's secretary Lydia -
:55:16
- said that Mr.wheeler
had a problem with my earrings.
:55:20
Apparently Mr.wheeler felt
that they were too "ethnic".
:55:26
She told me he'd like something
a little less garish ...
:55:31
- Something more "American".
-what did you say?
:55:37
I said, "My earrings are American.
They're African-American."
:55:45
- Let's have order, please.
- No more questions.
:55:50
Ms. Burton,

:55:55
Yes, I'm in charge
