As a White person, if you think racism doesn't exist, would you welcome being treated as Black people are and have been in America, if so, raise your hand. I don't see any hands being raised!

Do you usually see people raising their hands in an internet forum before you submit a topic? Because that would require them to have ESP and somehow be visible to you.

Many folk of many races don't have race thrown at them all that much if at all. This topic seems dumb.

tbh, I've seen variations on that shitty meme over the years but didn't know where it came from (and I suspect many of the people who trolled with it didn't either). And the original is a silly stunt because everybody in that audience likely came there because they agreed with her so the gesture is meaningless.

She definitely has had classes and lectures taped where people didn't agree with her, you should watch more of them.

Ive been on lines ordering food and was treated amazing. Then watched as the black person behind me places their order and gets treated completely different. One time the lady basically said, What do you want?

Those times helped me see more. And I can admit that Im glad that I was dealt the hand that I was. But also... my values teach me to fight for their rights whenever possible, too.

My eyes were opened when I dated a black man. Getting pulled over, experiences at restaurants, the line of questions from my family were all very different.

I do my best to educate myself, and be self aware of internal biases I have. It's an ongoing process.

Well, considering the way you act, I'm not surprised that everybody else in line was treated better than you. =p

aka "In this story I'm definitely not making up a clerk was rude to a customer once therefore racism exists! And I'm sure that they didn't know each other or anything, too, so it could only be racism!"
