YES! It is alive big time!
white ppl!
Racism is white people's problem, so where ever there are white folks in this country, there will be racism.
these things are learned. consider her age. and what were you doing standing there with a camera?
I am behind her with a camera phone because when I realized what she was doing, I said to myself...wtf!!!
No, I do not think Dr. Hoston should consider her age in this situation. She should realize that we are in the 21th Century. If you continue to practice ignorance, you will be ignorant. This man is trying to make a salad, not trying to rob her.
okay. fair enough. If indeed, she IS racist, then I agree, she is ignorant.
Did you ask her? Did she yell racial slurs at you?
I imagine not.
Maybe it had less to do with your color and more to do with the fact that you are male. Or that she has been mugged in the past, and therefore, is uncomfortable in general.
It's unfair to ASSUME that she held her purse because of your skin color.
You don't know that.
And I suppose you completely overlooked the possibility that maybe she was uncomfortable with a stranger eyeing her with a phone, snapping her picture.
I would have held my purse too.
And went to another salad bar.
Thats the problem, we are always making excuses for racist behavior.
NO, that ignorant woman saw a black male behind her and clutched her bag. I'm pretty sure she didn't see him with his phone taking a picture, because she was too busy thinking that he was going to snatch it!
everybody knows it takes two hands to make a salad on these salad bars...Jesus! yes, we can consider this racist.
And I bet she didn't even have 10 bucks in her bag..... OOOOHHHH! That pisses me off!
Racism is a refuge for the ignorant!
