So I Was At Work Today....

[Rave]

I went to throw something away and accidentally stepped on a friend's foot.

She was quite mad as it was her "bad foot". I had no idea. Yet she realized it had been an accident and let it slide.

However, another co-worker, who is 19 and 16 years my junior, said "what is wrong with you".

I responded, "its not like I was looking down, saw her foot, and stepped on it on purpose."

She responded by asking if I was getting an attitude with her. I told her "yes, you frustrate the **** out of me." (I mean, it was not her place to 1) jump into a situation that she was not a part of and 2) talk down to me like Im a child, she obviously has no respect for those older than her)

She then asked if I was mad and claimed that she had only been joking.

When I remained offended she said "uh, white people."

This is not the first time Ive encountered this either.

At one of my old jobs I was called the "N" word. I told the person who said it that I was offended by that and would rather not hear them say it in any reference around me. She asked me "why are you offended, you're white."

How is this ok?

This is where you guys can have your Race War....

I had to Delete My Thread over you Guys Crap....

It was a Good Thread too...........

in all fairness to you

you were out of Character and tried to respect my wishes and move on, no1 else was having it tho.....

[Willy Mo]

This is so saddening, white people have it so hard.

How dare someone get frustrated and angry when a white man steps on their friend's foot.

How dare someone make a joke about the white man being offended.

What an outrage.

All Im going to say about being "out of character" is, if you all met me in real life, I guarantee you the way people view me would be different.

I try to be very respectful. However, once I lose my temper all bets are off.

When it comes to football Im an ***. I know that, but its mostly all in fun.

I expected this from you, thank you solidifying what I thought about you. You reacted the exact way I thought you would.

This proves that you dont care about the unfairness of being judged by ones skin color, but you have another agenda.

Also, it shows even more of your character to side with someone that was rude and out of line.

CASE CLOSED.

Lol locking and un-locking the thread.

[Rave]

Lol locking and un-locking the thread.

You are a black supremacist. You have already proven that when you sided with the offender not the offended, in a racially charged issue just because the offended was white.

I have nothing else to say. However, I will leave the thread open to whatever you and your pals want to say.

Ive made my point though.

You are not even close to being for equality.

It's pretty racist to assume I'm a 'black supremacist' because I don't agree with this being a racial event at all.

Are you saying black people and white people can't get along no matter what?

Where'd I post anything about blacks?

Are you saying everyone who does not agree with your petty racial threads are black people who are supremacist?

Is Syco a black supremacist?

Please answer.

[SyCo]

all i got from this is that you have some serious social problems

So it is ok for a white person to be judged by their skin color?

...and it is also ok to be rude to a white person, just not ok for that white person to be offended.....correct?

[Willy Mo]

all i got from this is that you have some serious social problems

According to Rave, you are a black supremacist, seeing as you did not feel bad for him in this post.

Thoughts?

[Rave]

all i got from this is that you have some serious social problems

Yeah, I have to social problem. Because I should be ok being called the "N" word.

I should also think it is ok for someone to be rude to me, and I shouldnt be upset if that person is a different color from me.

You know, Im white, so its ok, right?

Its only racism when its white on black, racism cant happen to white people. Right?

I guess I do have it backwards. My bad, only whites can be racist. What was I thinking?

I had you to pegged long time ago. Yet, somehow, you find the ability to look down on me. Funny.

Your prejudice and ignorance is clear.

[Willy Mo]

Lol an offhand joke comment = "judged"

Lol "anyone who doesn't feel bad for me is a racist "

Lol inferiority complex

"white people can be prejudiced against too even though we're the majority "

[SyCo]

It is true that I am a black supremacist. i scold my kids every day for minding me, because I dont think they should be taking orders from a white man.

seriously, I dont feel bad for him because of the "white people" comment. but I wouldnt feel bad for a black dude if someone said "uh black people"

however..if he was being watched by his supervisors because (white people cant be trusted) and eventually fired for something miniscule..then on his way home,, stopped by the police for being white in a black neiborhood, then arrested for asking what he did wrong, then sentenced to community service and still has no clue what he's done..

if he's forced to do the same job, and make less money.. treated like a secondary citizen.. yea ill feel bad for him..

but "uh white people" YEA RAVE KNOWS THE STRUGGLES!! lmao!

You werent there, so why are you trying to tell me what happened? First off.

It was no joke, she only said that after she saw that I got pissed off. I hardly ever say anything at work when I get upset about something, but that time I did. When she realized how offended I had become all of a sudden it was a joke then.

However, how can you justify her "uh, white people" comment. How can you, someone that is supposed to be for equality and against racism as a whole, how can you not be offended by that on any level.

If you are what you claim then you would be offended by ANYONE being racist to ANYONE.

However, you have proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, you have another agenda.

Thank you.

i was referring to you getting bent out of shape over stepping on someones foot..then acting as if another adult should respect you because you're older. a normal person would just apologize and move on, but you made a big scene out of it...geesh

OMFG, I never said it was a struggle, but for two people against racism, you would think you would be offended by someone being judged by their skin color.

I think I have effectively proven that you two do not.

MLK's dream was to see men and women judged by their character and not by their skin color. To make a comment like "uh, white people" is the exact opposite of this dream.

This is what you two fail to realize. Its not about "the struggle" its about MLK's dream.

True equality is when we no longer judge anyone, on any level, by their skin color.

If you dont understand that, then you dont understand the Civil Rights movement at its core.

Sounds like an obvious joke to me.

You're just easily offended, Not because you are white, but because you always play the victim no matter how ****** up your opinions are. You will never admit to being wrong, and when people call you out for this, you cry about it and lock threads.

This story clearly shows you are not at all different in real life like you claim. You still are always looking for a reason to be a victim.

Had that been said to me, I would have cracked back at her, laughed, and moved on with my day.

Not run to the nearest forum crying for sympathy and using three words as some kind of example that white people have racial issues against them in 2015.

Don't you get it?

Nobody is allowed to joke to the white man.

Racism!

Well, should I list the times this same 19 year old CHILD has done this? This has got to be at least the 4th or 5th time this person has gotten an attitude with me for no reason.

I was raised to respect my elders. A 19 year old is still a kid. Im 35 years old. There is no reason I should be talked to like a 5 year old by a 19 year old.

If you would accept that kind of behavior then that is on you.

I returned to my machine and kept working. Figuring ignoring her would make her shut up and move on. However, apparently ignoring her didnt give her the satisfaction she wanted so she had to make a reference to my skin color. Which I still dont know what that had to do with anything. However, I guess thats nothing to get offended about either.

[Rave]

"uh white people"

mlks dream

gtfo of here

Explain to me how that is not judging me based on my race.

Then explain to me how "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" doesnt fit this discussion.

As I said before, you like to paint me as ignorant, but if you dont see how that is a direct reflection of that statement, then you truly are ignorant.

Apparently I got mad because Im white. How is that not judging my actions by race and not character?

im sure mr high and mighty rave did nothing to instigate the whole thing. im willing to bet you act like a obnoxious dbag at work, the same way you do here, and that how people react to people like you.

Explain to me how that is not judging me based on my race.

they are judging the race, based on you...thanks alot!

You couldnt be more wrong. The two things I am most known for at work are my laugh and talking. I get along with most everyone on every shift I work on.

The only person I dont get along with on my entire shift, is this little girl. She has an attitude with everyone though.

Yet, you wont believe that, because you want to believe whatever misconceptions you have of me through the little interactions we have here.

Just as an example, I went back to my old job today, I wasnt there 10 mins before I was asked if I could work 1 night a week to help them out.

See, there is the real world, and then there is the internet. One day you will figure this out.

Also, I will say this, if you havent figured out in the many years Ive been here, I dont always come across the way I want to. I have a problem finding the right words to express what I want to. I bet if I were to sit down and have a face to face conversation with most people on this board they would have a different opinion of me,

However, I digress.

So, judging an entire race, based on one person is a good thing?

Also, how is ignoring someone that has offended you a bad thing?

[Rave]

This was just an accident and honest mistake. Rave didn't mean to step on anyone's foot. What happens i you apologize profusely and ask repeatedly if they are okay and how truly sorry you are. Most normal people will accept that behavior 9 times out of 10, but there is always one in the crowd that was raised by wolves. Not much you can do in that situation but say your sorry and move on...just sayin'

It wasnt the person that got hurt that was unforgiving. However, the one I got into it with has had an attitude towards me in EVERY interaction we have had since I started there.

The first time I ever asked her anything I said "so, what was your number today", she responded, "none of your business".

I laughed one day and she went into a rant about how no one should make me laugh because its annoying.

Our line were all joking one day and I added a comment and she said "why did you say anything".

Add in the "uh, white people" comment and it becomes clear the problem she has with me.
