I’ve been fortunate not to live around many and so it’s not been a matter of avoidance....but it surely is now and will remain so...just not worth even bothering as this ‘show’ will keep re-playing time and again.
I simply don’t like their culture and behavior, mannerisms etc. The few I’ve known in the workplace, who I’ve never had issues with or they me, “became” much more outspoken and devisive over this Ferguson thing and the one before this when “their people” rose up to protest. I heard a lot of things I didn’t like which changed how I saw them.
I have seen the same thing happen time and time again, including with people thought I knew better than that. It’s just not worth the headache.
Wow.
As a matter of fact, the first time I really noticed this to happen was after the OJ trial, when I was a lot younger. There was one black girl at my work, and the day of the verdict, I went into work in the afternoon. She was so full of gloat that she couldn’t contain herself, and I was so angry even before seeing her that I couldn’t take it, so I left and went home. We had gotten along smoothly before then, at least i had thought so. I didn’t stay there long after anyway, it had become a poisonous place to me and I didn’t need the job anyway.
