In recent history, I've had total strangers middle finger me, cut in front of me, generally disrespecting me. Everyone is looking for a fall guy for the trouble that we're in, and in my honest opinion since Obama is Black, we're catching hell!<br /><br />I hate to break it down this way, but I'm very intuitive about people/things. I was checking out at the store a few days ago when another customer crashed her basket into my cart, not apologizing or anything! The cashier looked at me and said, "How rude." I couldn't dispute that she didn't feel as though I deserved an apology.<br /><br />Folks up here have lost their minds! Some non-whites uttered n*gga under their breath as I was entering an ethnic store, too! Needless to say, they can buy their own sh*t! <br /><br />I don't know when/if it is going to get any better with race relations at this point. As a parent, I'm trying to show my daughters that not all non-Black folks are out to get us, but to be aware of deceptive practices, and even out-right racism, that can get them hemmed up.rainwriter joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642124857733688867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297423656330190182.post-66571939509102694582009-09-22T09:54:30.182-07:002009-09-22T09:54:30.182-07:00Yep...these "teabaggers" are using these...Yep...these "teabaggers" are using these forums to perpetuate their own racist agenda. Come on, racism exists, and with Obama in office, "other races" feel there is no need to walk on eggshells anymore.
