All the balls hit the floor this afternoon. When you're a juggler, having any one of the items you're juggling hit the floor amounts to a fiasco. When you're a human being, having everything crash down around you amounts to the same.OK, I'm being overly dramatic. Running on a little too little sleep and even less patience. Some people are mean, some people suck, some people don't understand the challenges someone besides themselves can be facing.
Yesterday, I ran a complete fiasco of a meeting, right into an oncoming train. I was called every reverse-bigot name in the book - stupid white bitch, whore in the fancy car, nigger hating white fuck, gold-digging whore, as my boss sat by and did NOTHING. Because, after all, as a kind, considerate white girl (why does my skin color matter?? unless she's a bigot??) who sits at the head table, I don't deserve the same respect I show people of any color, orientation or personality disorder.
I wish I'd been juggling fire. Maybe one of the stupid, drunk, loser of a human being's in the back - who wouldn't even identify themselves - would have caught. Instead, I have every intention of making a statement without saying a word.
There will be a security guard at the next meeting. And I'll personally escort the president of the board out if necessary. Revolt happens, and I will not put up with this from anyone, especially my boss. Or her drunken husband. And I have a majority of votes that say the same thing.
She shouldn't have messed with me on such a perfect day.
Bigotry and racism are bigotry and racism, period! Next time tell her you're part Cherokee and see what happens :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously - what the fuck? Is there something you can do legally?
That's really not on at all! I'm sorry that you were exposed to such hatred.
ReplyDeleteThat's just wrong. What in the world inspired this person to say such things?
ReplyDeleteRK: Legally, I suppose I could go after them, but they have no money. So, a new job is on the way, I'd bet.
ReplyDeleteJoe: Thanks. There is nothing I hate worse than bigotry against anyone. Grrrr...
Dawn: Thank you. She was looking for something to be angry about from the moment she walked in. I should have had her escorted out before she became violent.
Is it not amazing how what is good for the gander ain't no good for the goose? Orwell had it right in Animal Farm , they who control who can say what do indeed control the world.
