I think you handled the situation marvelously!! Being in any type of service position is so hard, I had my own incident today (won't go into it on your blog..hee hee), but I truly don't understand the disrespect people feel they can just throw at anyone, especially someone they don't even know.sgrcookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606681483889157039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-17350239045403574772009-10-24T15:01:46.512-07:002009-10-24T15:01:46.512-07:00You know how you always here the phrase "It&#...You know how you always here the phrase "It's because I'm black"? WEll I honestly did not believe someone would actually say that, I mean seriously, not in this day and age. But low and behold, a few years back we were in the Base Exchange, of all places, and the girl behind the jewelry counter came over to help us. And before we couldcould even say a word, the woman that was there before us starts yelling as this poor girl that she as there first. And then Says "I guess it's because I'm Black that you went o them first!" I mean, on a military base!!! That's got to be one of the most deverse places on the planet. The poor girl trries to apologize and explain to the woman that she just didn't realize she was there first. The woman had the girl in tears and she actually tried to quite her job right then and there when her boss came over. I told her don't you dare, you can not let people that act like that scare you away. And we both told her boss t wasn't her fault. But what I liked the best was my dh, he told that woman that the reason she didn't get waited on wasn't because she was black, but because she was bitch!!<br /><br />I wish the word racist would just get drop from the language, there is just no place for it these days.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14666651058219565231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-3291342031221294522009-10-22T21:32:57.771-07:002009-10-22T21:32:57.771-07:00If you really look at it, the person who is callin...If you really look at it, the person who is calling you a "racist" is the real racist, not the other way around. People always like to call others name because of the inferiority they feel about themselves. It's a projection of their own reflection.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171993148964203765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-52467186081325229542009-10-20T04:09:40.911-07:002009-10-20T04:09:40.911-07:00Some people are just incredible.

Some people just act ignorant and they have to demean others in order to make themselves feel better about themselves.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487885862409963050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-29808494142247592212009-10-17T15:26:45.835-07:002009-10-17T15:26:45.835-07:00That is horrible, Margy!

I know what it feels like to be on the other side, since I'm gay, unfortunately even from my own family--my brother's fav thing to call me is a fat lesbian dike...I don't min him calling me a lesbian, that's just a fact, but dike is rude and uncalled for. I'm glad you are understanding and accepting of all people, that is a special quality to have!Megan Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844277180321797627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-69936674078386043282009-10-17T13:46:03.249-07:002009-10-17T13:46:03.249-07:00Sorry for your experience Margy. Where I live we ...Sorry for your experience Margy. Where I live we don't have racism issues with 'white vs. black' per say as much as 'white vs. native' and it happens all the time. The 'native' people accuse the 'white' person of being racist no matter what they did to provoke the actions of the 'white' person. I feel that like many other things there are people that use the colour of their skin as a way to get away with terrible behaviour and this goes for the 'white' guy too :(Talin HGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080608481666108711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656717054502160638.post-15053325380635006832009-10-17T08:20:15.318-07:002009-10-17T08:20:15.318-07:00Awesome post and I believe it's so true.
