quote “t usually starts as I step inside the store. “Hi, can I help you?” from sales reps with an over-penetrating gaze never really feels like a warm greeting. I’m prepared to be watched closely, or ignored when I actually do need assistance because they assume that I won’t—or can’t—purchase anything. When I ask to see an item, they quickly tell me the price, then pause for my reaction to confirm that I’m pre-qualified to see the merchandise. When that happens I usually give the sales rep my dead-fish-eye look that says: Did I ask you how much it was? I asked you if I could see the damn thing.”
I got news for you lady, they treat us white folks the EXACT same way!
I love how blacks just assume white are treated like royalty!
I am lucky if the salesperson even gets off the phone when I enter the store!
Waiters and waitresses always ask what side dish I'd like and of course - they offer potatoes! potatoes, potatoes - and I am deeply offended due to my ancestors suffering during the Great Irish Famine of the mid 19th century. /S
Seriously though, I suspect this woman's ancestors would offer her a good swift kick in the ass and tell her to grow up.
Nobody better lay a finger on my bok choy!
quote “I stumbled across a display with a small decorative bale of cotton stalks”
NEVER in my entire life have I EVER seen decorative bales of cotton stalks!!!
This lady is obviously making this up.
Yes you is! Let me recommend a big money attorney.
Maybe you missed the part where she believes she’s in the Tribulation.
If I ever get so desperate for something to bitch about that I write a whole article about it, slap me.

Lose the red hair and freckles, Pal, and keep your spirits up. I recommend Bushmills.
Just following the White Hut community organizer's lead. Nothing he says about the Saint Skittles, Saint Charging Bull or Saint Chokehold events is true.
Once, several years ago, my wife asked me to stop by Wal Mart to pick up a few things on my way home. Mind you, this is the kind of Wal Mart that the local hillbillies take their kids to discipline them. Or so it seems. Anyway, I went there wearing a business suit. I was asked by no fewer than 5 people where things were located in the store. They all assumed that the only person who would be wearing a suit in the hillbilly Wal Mart was the store manager.
I don't have the slightest idea what "boo-zhee" is, and wasn't inclined to Google it, so I didn't read any further.
You should see the looks I get when someone tells me I look familiar. Depending on my mood, I’ll reply “hey, all of us old white guys look alike.”
Looking for a place to get raw cotton. Maybe I should plant some in the front yard,
Thas 'cause you be Boo-zhee.
Oh hell. Yes, I swore. My (white) ancestors....clear down to my MOTHER, worked the cotton fields and I have managed to not have a rude meltdown when beholding cotton, bolls or stalks or shirts.
Get a grip, you stupid wench.
Bourgeoisie, maybe? I mean, penny loafers?
But, I know exactly how she feels. I too have to dress a certain because I am a white male executive. I have to were a tie to work. Oh, the horror, embarrassment, and shame of people assuming that I work at retail establishment, any retail establishment that I happen to enter, even when lost or looking for my spouse. I too will be asked prices, locations, and, of God, where is the bathroom. I could go on listing all of the questions I have ever been asked in this situation as our subject rich, black, primo donna but I won’t.
I have tried many tactics when confronted by these bigoted people included punching them in the face, running screaming from the retail establishment, but I have found that uncontrolled hysteria works best. It even gets my wife to leave the store without trying on even piece of cloth in the store.
I should contact this young lady and see if we can start a support group.
Well, you do kind of look familiar. Ever go to Northpark mall? I go in there a few times every decade.
