I roll up my windows in the "bad" neighborhood...just in case a stray bullet comes my way.

Racist or wise??

Well what did they ask her? “Where’s the arugula, tubby?”

Did they ask her for a mop up on aisle 3?

From the article: “We’ve all been known to make varying assumptions about other people based on existing stereotypes.”

So does that mean we should blame the media and those leftists that put out movies and TV shows? That seems to be where a lot of the stereotypes originate or get reinforced.

And if they didn’t ask? We’ll that’s racist.

Mental cases have delusions.

Her original reaction: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3238249/posts

Conflicts greatly with her People mag interview!

I was asked for help at Walmart just the other day. It wasn’t because of the color of my skin but the color of my shirt.

Ooops... I forgot, unlike Walmart, Target is a democrat store (which is why I NEVER go there). So, maybe Michelle has a point.

And to Michelle 0bama, Shut up. Just shut up now and forever. You have nothing to add to anything that will help anyone. Close your toxic mouth. Please.

Judas Priest, I have been asked for help because I dress like a modest responsible person, am I supposed to scream sexism? Prejudice against blonds?

I get asked for assistance a lot. In various places. Depending on the circumstance, I either politely reply that “Sorry, I don’t work here” or if possible I take the opportunity to help, figuring maybe I can make someone’s day brighter.

But then, I don’t go through life looking for reasons to stand on a soapbox, rend my garments and shriek “I’m offended!”

Sheesh, what a rinky-dink version of “don’t you know who I am?”...

I had an older black woman using one of those electric carts Safeway provides ask me to reach her down a bottle of champagne so she did not need to get up. I did, reflecting on the fact that I had seen her arrive in an Escalade and walk to the door.

Now, I did not mind helping, but am not predisposed to with a culture that I know would likely give me the finger would I ask them for help. There are few negros here, so I figure she had to ask me or wait a long time or do it herself.

ol’ “platau-ass” is always whining or bitching about something.

She’s got the Diana ross syndrome, “How dare you look me in the eye”.

“Don’t you know who I am?”. Yeah, I know who you are, and what you are...a race-baiter, and a white hater.

good grief I’ve gone into multiple stores in my lifetime and had people ask me for help thinking I work there.... just depends on how you’re dressed .....you dress grubby out on the street and people think you’re homeless

I think the story is bogus. These people are not above fabricating scenarios to “prove” their accusations of racism.

I was asked for directions once. No doubt it was racist.

Oh, BFD. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been asked “Do you work here?”, I’d have a bunch of nickels. So what?
