| An aide to Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer has resigned under pressure after she labeled Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. a "racist" and dubbed President Obama "O-dumb-a" in a Facebook rant defending racial profiling. "I get it -- white men have dominated for hundreds of years and there's a lot of anger there. But HOW MUCH MORE can the white people do to correct past injustices of their ancestors?" wrote Lee Landor, 24, who had worked as deputy press secretary for Stringer. "If Mr. Big Shot Harvard would have kept his mouth shut, shown his ID and not started yelling at a police officer, he never would have been arrested. So please, its time to get over this 'It's because I'm black' bull- - - -" she added. Landor resigned from the $45,758-a-year job Monday after being told "jump or be pushed," according to a source. |

| #1 Landor resigned from the $45,758-a-year job Monday after being told "jump or be pushed," according to a source. Posted by:Fred If the jump or be pushed comment is found to be true and accurate I wonder if there would be a case for a "wrongful termination" suit? Hmmmmmm. |
