If black people don't like it in this country they can go back to Africa and talk to the village chief that sold them into slavery."
Holding degrees in journalism and law, respectively, from the University of Texas at Austin, this brilliant legal eagle joined Toyota in 2012 after holding a series of high-powered positions at prestigious law firms and major corporations. Considered one of the company's most valuable senior managers, she is routinely called upon to handle complex issues, ranging from global transactions and corporate inclusion to cybersecurity and intellectual property.
R.C.: A journalism degree is like a degree in underwater BB stacking.

You shouldn't lose your job over anything you say,unless it's job related i.e.,threatening a fellow employee on the clock,lack of respect to a boss over a period of time(not just once).Of course stealing and tardiness is worthy of termination.But if you were late to a haircut and doctor's appointment,your employer wouldn't fire you for that,because it's YOUR business.Or filing for bankruptcy.So non-work related comments--that result in job loss--should be taken to court(hopefully SCOTUS)to render an opinion on the legal grounds/reasons to fire someone.In my opinion,this is not one of those reasons.

FIRST CEO NOT TO "CAVE-IN" TO THE SJW MOB?
CNN-Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue said he was "not apologizing" for praising President Donald Trump at the White House.
Unanue's appearance at a Rose Garden Thursday ceremony announcing the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative sparked outrage on social media. By Friday morning, the hashtag #Goyaway was trending, as prominent Hispanic American leaders called for a boycott of Goya products.
On "Fox & Friends," Unanue told co-hosts Steve Doocy, Emily Compagno and Brian Kilmeade that "it was good to talk to some friends," and he called the boycott movement "suppression of speech."
He claimed a double standard in the reaction to his laudatory remarks about Trump, noting that he accepted an invitation from Michelle Obama in 2012 to an event in Tampa, Florida, to promote the former first lady's healthy-eating initiative.
"You're allowed to talk good or talk praise to one president but you're not -- when I was called to be part of this commission to aid in economic and educational prosperity and you make a positive comment, all the sudden that's not acceptable," Unanue told Fox News. "If you're called by the president of the United States, you're going to say, 'No I'm sorry, I'm busy, no thank you?' I didn't say that to the Obamas and I didn't say that to President Trump."
In brief remarks at the White House Thursday, Unanue compared Trump to his grandfather, a Spanish immigrant who in 1936 founded Goya.
"We are all truly blessed ... to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder," Unanue said during the Rose Garden speech. "That is what my grandfather did. He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. We have an incredible builder, and we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president."
The fact that Unanue would associate with Trump was sufficient to anger many people, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, who acknowledged Goya's "staple" status in Latino households, but encouraged people to reconsider buying Goya after Unanue's White House appearance.
President Trump is unpopular among Hispanic Americans. Hispanics favor Vice President Joe Biden over Trump in the race for president by a 36 percentage-point margin, according to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll.
GRA:There's one--maybe we can find a second CEO with some guts--in another two months.
