How racism is perpetuated

twe2011 · Jan 18, 2012

Wow, this story just confused me but made me laugh about the shower thing after getting upset reading about the poor kid getting a hard time for no reason.

I just like to add, every day I go to the store and it seem that I am getting into some type of contentment with another race. But, I know it is not me but only the fact I am tired of being bullied…pushed out of the way for them to walk through me.

Needless to say, just had one of my drivers at the Atlanta Georgia Airport picking up a load...wow, what a mistake! He was forced to sign a paper before even receiving the load (I asked why did you sign paperwork before receiving that load, he stated I had to in order to get on the dock). While walking in, there was not a white person in sight...there was very limited security and it was nasty.

My driver was avoided and finally greeted in a horribly nasty way, thinking that boy was lost and should not be in here. The fork lift driver then proceeded on to bring the load, it stated fragile and it was stacked higher than the truck. My driver stated that will not fit in the truck and I am not hand loading something that states fragile (Correctly stated). The black forklift driver responded back nasty and yelling “We will see about that!” MY driver stated he will be calling the leasing company. The black guy stated “Oh you are not accepting this load? My driver stated “I am calling my leasing company”. The black guy got nasty yelling at my driver…

My driver walked out to the truck and there are two black men outside waiting in 18 wheeler truck next to my truck. Few minutes later that fork lift driver proceeded to come out leaning into that 18 wheeler stating, watch I will get you this load at his rate!

I agreed with my driver, never take a load from Atlanta Georgia again….but this is what they want!

Besides, I need to state something that a Physiologist once told me that relates to what is being stated or manipulated....and it is getting old!

When that word "Racist" is being stated in regards to a situation that is wrong, it would be considered a type of "Fog" that is being put out to deter from the truth. Sort of like an argument between two people and one changes the subject, or uses something that hits emotions to deter from the real problem.

As for the story, it sounds like the boy did nothing wrong he might be raised a little different regarding how he communicates. But that black man, he was wrong for going stupid and yelling at someone doing his job...in order to get that boy in trouble so that he looses his job. Holding the black man down is getting out of control and should not be stated, instead the white man is being depressed and held down!

It needs to stop and if I hear it, I will state "You are only stating that because you are trying to avoid the truth of wrong being done!"

I am not saying this against the main subject or the author of the story...just a little note of my ranting.

....I am sure, I will be called racist because I stated something....COOL!

If you want to perpetuate racism, then be afraid of the word and the people who call others racist.

Ignorance begets ignorance.

That sure looks like a nice, quiet, unbiased source. The big red star there sure looks more like the Soviet star rather than the Texico star!

Retelling this story and stories like it are what perpetuate what some refer to as racism. If I understand you correctly you weren't even there! You seem to have a lot of information about this for not being there. Besides that I have run into situations exactly like you describe where white people, including me, were the only ones present!

If people want to consider that we are still racists, I wish those who write things like this to visit some countries that openly practice it, like SA.

You should have seen Japan when I lived there.

This is general knowledge (stated above)...

As for what was stated, I only took what was written but usually seems to be happening everywhere!

Again, I do not care if you call me racist....and I do not care if I upset you.

I am upset because of the lack of respect and the lack of compassinoate people, or even the people that pass judgement without feeling what I have dealth with and continue...such as people like you!
