[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you need to chill out. Her comment was more offensive to herself. She meant that in some areas, Black folks are less likely to have bank accounts and credit cards, so they have to go to a store and pay cash. It is just a fact abd she wasn't PC about how she related that to you. Big deal. Understand her point and where she is coming from and move on.[/quote]

Agree, some folks like to shop with big wads of cash, and it's not whitey. [/quote]

Hahaha!  That's funny.

Cheese Lady sez to OP: Let it go.  AA employees from a certain generation took a lot of shit in general related to their race, so give them a little slack, as long as its not work related.  Race is something that is not too far from their minds at any given moment.  White people don't understand this.  It's hard.  You can have sympathy, but you will never really know what it's like to be black.  It's probably easier to imagine what's its like to be paralyzed, than to put yourself in someone's shoes who have faced constant, subtle and not-so-subtle discrimination their whole life.

I know I can't pretend to know fully.  I also know racism is alive and well, and the most common type is one that the perpetrator is not even aware of.[/quote]
