everton, I have never heard or been associated with the word "coconut", so cannot comment."Whiteys trough", no idea what you are alluding too.
Whether you are black or white, I agree that effort is required to get to the top. It is the word "top" that we seem to have our dificulties. Yes, plenty of black hospital workers, doctors, barristers, MP�s etc. bit NONE have had the top job, comparable to the President of the United States. You think that in the UK nobody has eqalled the "top job" because nobody has had that ability. Trevor Philips and I think that there is an element of racial discrimination entering into the abscence of a black man in "the top job"
