Empowered, no kidding. This may be anecdotal, but it happened anyway. I was at a Wendys to get some lunch while in Louisiana after the election. There were several older white couples in line in front of me. Four black women came in and walked right in front of the line and then glared at the old white women as if to say, “Don’t you say nothing”. The old folks tried to be polite saying something like, hey the line starts back there, but they ignored them. I finally got my food, went out to the car just shaking my head. I don’t know if this was just an isolated event with a bunch of real rude people or if this was part of the new attitude of “We won”.
Since then, I have seen this happen quite a few times, but more people are getting back in their faces and making them adhere to some sort of manners. Anyone else see this happening? Just curious.
I’ve seen/heard many reports of things like this.
When the person behind the counter is black,
don’t count on getting asked “may I he’p you”
until all the blacks in line are served.
The hatred and resentment runs deep,
and I’m afraid it’s going to get real ugly
when decent folks get tired of it.
Oh yeah, some of it is pure bullying. A lot of it is organized crime...be careful, I'm not sharing past experiences BUT
Peace out man:
I’ve seen a much more subtle variant here in Virginia. When a black customer is at the counter, it’s “Yes Sir” and “Yes Ma’am” and “Have a nice day”. When I get served, I’m lucky to get a grunt.
