Because the three black people you asked represents the culture of an entire race... what idiots.
i'm thinking/hoping that maybe those "few" co-workers trolled the crap out of them

One thing this thread has shown me is just how prevalent blatant racism still is today. I mean open racism, not the 'we don't hire those kind of people' racism which I knew still existed. The 'I didn't know they let black people in here' and screaming racial epithets at sports players is the stuff that I figured was confined to the back-water spots that rarely see the light of modern life.
It's mind-blowing to see the number of small-minded, backwards people who still judge people based on the amount of melanin in their skin.
I feel like this is an important but extremely frustrating (and saddening) thread. It needs to be here and talked about but it reminds me that we're (collectively) a long way from where we need to be...

And just think: This is after "we have come so far on race in this country". Just imagine if we had not made progress (or better yet, find some good history books to read).
you should have a conversation with my inlaws, racism ended years ago. Candice Owens has told them so
I've decided that racism is in our DNA as humans due to the fact that we don't even recognize it in ourselves or our culture. Like the air we breathe, as humans we are tribal from nature. We prefer our own to the point that we denigrate other races as inferior as a matter of course. We do not recognize this...but this is who we are. Our failure to recognize this results in our thinking that racism has been conquered or that we are not racist in our thinking. Just because we do not wear a white sheet or shout ugly epithets does not mean that we are not racist. No matter how much we try racism lives in our subconscious. All we can do is recognize that truth and not let it dominate our thinking and actions.
Republicans are claiming that the new voting "security measures" they have passed and want to pass are not the new Jim Crow voting laws because they do not explicitly mention race.
Well, my friends, Jim Crow voting laws intended to prevent Black people from voting also did not explicitly mention race because such measures were forbidden by the 15th Amendment and would have likely been ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS. In spite of this everyone knew and now knows that poll taxes, literacy tests, felony disenfranchisement, and other measures had the intent to be a rose by another name - in other words, by the slightest slight of hand the racists were going to keep Black people from voting no matter how they had to do it.
So if you think Republicans are not intentionally disenfranchising certain voters on purpose you are being willfully ignorant.
