Of the things that “happened” to her, each has happened to me as well.

I have had people approach me in stores and treat me like I worked there. If it was in my ability to help them - like if they asked where the changing rooms are - I would point them in the right direction, without pointing out that I didn’t work there. Why embarrass them needlessly? I never thought they were racist. Boy, was I ignorant!

I have had sales people treat me like I can’t afford what they are selling. I just thought they were rude. I never knew they were racist!

This woman is the epitome of what is wrong with Black Americans. If you see everything through the eyes of race, you will blame race for every slight, real or imagined. Certainly that will make you more and more hostile over time. A very sad way to go through life.

“I was strolling the aisle of Tractor Supply” dressed in my authentic oil and grass stained overalls wearing my muckers and carrying a roll of chicken wire when a voice spoke from behind me.” “You look like an able lass would you stand still while I check your teeth and feel your biceps?” Inwardly I groaned. Though I owned not a square yard of farm or ranchland and though I was wearing a very fetching cloche from knitted raw silk I was once again being mistaken for a plow girl for hire.

Darn these green organic farmers who eschewed the use of carbon based fuel, yet were because of their firm commitment to animal rights refused to use mule or horse to plow and till the rich bottom land. I was extremely offended. I don’t shop in low end local feed stores where any Billy Bob or Earlene makes themselves at home. I can afford the best and I shop accordingly. Sometimes only a pair of full length Ariat riding boots can ease the pain of my tormented soul.

I made a point of ignoring him by pretending a fascination with a post hole diggers (as if). Thankfully he left and I decided to continue my stroll around the store. Then I saw it. Right next to the Backyard Chicken Magazine rack. Pitchforks. I wanted to howl my outrage. Instead I immediately sought out a clerk. Grabbing her by her hand I dragged her over. “How dare you display these!!!. Why not just put them next to the lawn torches so everyone can know what they really mean!!?? At her confused look I snarled, “My ancestors were forced from their castle in Bergen County by angry villagers intent on driving them out because of fear and bigotry. I want these removed at once!!! Not waiting for her reply I stomped out of the store tears streaming down my face at the thought of such a display of not a mad scientist privilege.

I hope she avoids the trauma of seeing rice, rice products and rice displays too.

are you SURE you didn't work there?

I have, in my employment career, worked a wide range of jobs from telemarketer to Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. While some were crappier than others, I can't imagine a lower region of hell than working at a Wal Mart, if I were to measure that by the two Wal Marts closest to me. One is small town, where most of the clientele is the product of generations of selective inbreeding. The other is more urban, and after dark it resembles the Zombie Apocalypse.

I would remember working at a Wal Mart.

Yes, Virginia is too far north to be the Land of Cotton. Her ancestors in Virginia picked polyester.

When I stand in a store or somewhere in public in a suit, people assume I’m the manager and start asking questions...am I supposed to be offended?

Blacks sure don’t appreciate how good they have it here. When you are only 13% of the population there will be problems same as for any other minority. White have their own problems such a affirmative action which is nothing but discrimination against them for jobs, gov’t jobs and education. I doubt this spoiled brat ever thought about this. She prolly got all kinds of affirmative action scholarships where the only qualifications are that you are black and have a pulse

Living here Sure beats living in Africa. The gap is colossal between a black man living here or in Africa but blacks don’t appreciate it. So go back to Africa if you are so offended

Now if I told an Italian-American or Irish American who was complaining so much to GTFO and go back to Italy or Ireland...those nations are nice places to live that are civilized. The gap between life there and here is not that big. But the best thing that ever happened to today’s spoiled blacks was their slave ancestors being taken here.

Bougie ( from someone who’s worked with some)

I know implicitly what Bougie is. Over the years I’ve worked with two bougie black coworkers. Both were basically nice, competent, caring people. That being said, I tended to avoid then when they’d start talking about their goodies.
The first one was male. Everything out of his mouth was what he had just bought. This is an actual conversation.
“ I bought a new Jeep. I was going to get a convertible, but I got the hardtop. It’s black, so it matches my BMW. I picked it up and stopped by the store to buy a new flat screen. I decided to put it in the back room. I now have 5 TVs in the house.”
This duded lived by HIMSELF. He had two kids. They lived in the projects with their ghetto mom that he’d divorced.
The female had a coworker stop by who deals in high end purses. She was showing one of my coworkers her new
designer purse.
“ I already had one in mocha. I had to get this one in cranberry.”
“How much you pay?”
“ The same for each one. Nine hundred dollars.”

It might sound dumb, as their family incomes are
much higher then mine, but I feel sorry for them. It must be torture to think that your worth is judged by what you’ve bought.

because it is a bullsh1t term invented by racist progressives to try to make us feel guilty for things we have not done.

...and by the modern Catholic church, that decided it would be peachy keen for us to confess for’what I have failed to do’ at Mass...
