Black separatist mindeset at work. There are no "black neighborhoods" and to tell a proprietor or homeowner that they are in a "black neighborhood" is to tell them they are unwelcome.
MLK Jr. spoke out that the black separatists (especially in the Nation of Islam) are every bit as wrong as the white segregationists.
Hmm, what are the "politics" of these business owners?
Surprised she didn't go looking for cotton in Chick-fil-a.
Maybe the dingo ate your baby bok choy.
When my dad was walking around London while wearing a London Fog coat (and working abroad in the petroleum industry for weeks or months at a time) tourists would ask him directions to places. He wouldn’t get on a high horse and tell them he was born on the East Coast of the US. He’d just give them a good answer as best he could.
PS I am white and have had numerous incidents of customers asking where some department is or about some product.
Sometimes it isn’t because of skin color.
In these businesses where she is assumed to be employed, does she ever encounter black clerks? Does she think it is racism that they don’t have any? Does she think that it is open minded that these customers believe she could work there even in the absence of seeing other black employees?
lol
I have often walked around London and other foreign towns in a fog myself. Unlike your dad, no matter how well dressed I was, people always seemed to sense that I was lost and hastened to help me out!
I’m still not so sure this is a real person. So much is exaggerated and over the top Diva behavior. If you see this kind of character in a movie, pretty soon, the whole audience despises her. When the moment of comeuppence and humiliation finally comes, the audience cheers wildly, because we have all met people like that, so high on their horses.
Another fun game when mistaken by customers as an employee, tell them “You are in luck, today that section is all 50% off today.”
Then discretely exit.
Probably not. Virginia mostly grew wheat and tobacco. Cotton grew better farther south.
Hahahahahaha! Brilliant work of fiction there Stacey. Took Oprah’s fancy French bag story to new heights. Not a word of it rings true by any stretch of the imagination. Of course, the only thing slaves picked was cotton, right? And year round. And in all states including Alaska and Hawaii. And probably as late as 1987, right?
No lib in Whole Foods would dare accuse a black of stealing kale. I look for employee name tags before asking for more Ms. Meyers lemon verbena, whatever that may be. OK, did a search and it’s a line of “hard working” household cleaner and personal products which I doubt very much it would be on a high class cosmetic counter but then I don’t shop at high end boutiques like Ms. Stacey brags she does.
Ms. Stacey let her own racism out by whining about her black neighborhood becoming gentrified with whites causing prices to rise (first she was channeling Oprah and now Spike Lee). Uh, wait, I though she lived in an upper class neighborhood with all her clothes shopping and paying Whole Foods prices but now she’s living in a poor neighbor. Come on, Stacey, you’re straying from the story. Hey, girl, it works both ways because my old neighborhood went from nice quiet white middle class to black ghetto overnight - Oak Cliff, Dallas, TX 1972.
Sorry to deflate your little balloon, Stacey, but I don’t automatically make assumptions based on color like you do. Thanks to you and your kind, you know, the liberal whinies of all skin colors, I will see “LIARS & HATERS” flashing neon signs on your heads.
I’ve been mistaken multiple time for a sales clerk and I’m a middle aged white guy. I usually just try to help them find what they’re looking for.
Just struck me what the problem for these people is. They simply cannot imagine that anybody who is not black is ever slighted or offended, therefore all slights or offenses must be solely because of their race. Very weird.
Oh, the humanity!
I used to do food shopping after work, where my uniform was a shirt and tie.
Countless times people came up to me to ask where something was, or if I was the manager. I don’t know, I get that reaction from folks.
I would just kindly help them as best I could.
lol
at the Dollar Store
is a dead-fish-glare a racial thing?
Carried at Lowe's Hardware.
I had a coupon, wanted to find out what "Ms Myers" was. Still couldn't afford it, even with the coupon. A bottle of "Fabulous!!" from the dollar store works just as well. :-)
I was going to say.
Moreover, African slaves were brought over for tobacco (American colonies) and sugar cane (Caribbean). Cotton production came much later.
Some rich people have the attitude they deserve everything.
People without manners - they’re simply more refined thugs.
They'll say "not a problem" to customers when they are on a personal call behind the register (waiters use this a lot these days too).
I'd HOPE that it's not a problem. Their job is to SERVE.
