The original lawsuit did not ask for financial damages actually, this was a later amendment, and it may have been to cover legitimate cost incurred by the plaintiff.

We don't know what her intentions for her awarded damages are, she may have, or may yet do any number of charitable works with the funds.

Just like there's no harm in having white only buses, drinking fountains and schools?

I agree with regard to some of your points with regard to scholarships etc., but I don't see that as any argument whatsoever to persecute another section of society.
If you want a parade, have one.

So seeing as your 'common sense' approach to accusing somebody of being a bitch and scumbag, based on false assumption of her motives, has I think been proven flawed; are you going to stand by these attacks? or apologise?

Would it? have you any proof of this, or are you assuming?
