I'll start the white person "who have you been mistaken for" thread today:

I was tutoring at a student's house, and I was mistaken for a cleaning lady.

Nobody believes for a second any of your lying BS. Go home to Kenya and bring that buffarillo at your side with you.

Obola was mistaken for someone who worked for a living?

the couple who has been given everything they wanted. No show jobs, ivy league schools, they have had black privilege and now they complain about someone asking for help from them.

Utter B/S

So? I was a young boy in the early 70s … sporting the typical long hair. I was mistaken for a girl a few times by some old codgers.

I’ve been mistaken for an employee a few times in different places.

Yet, I don’t feel the need to call attention to any of that trivial stuff.

Wasn't it Madeline Albright who was assumed to be a maid at some UN confab?

Bunch of racists.

No. Wait. Bunch of sexists.

No. Wait. Bunch of anti-Semites.

No. Wait. Bunch of Frumpaphobes.

I’d like just some detail to this anecdote; maybe Obamugabe can give us a general time-frame when the mistake was made?

I’d be willing to say that Obamugabe may have (may not have) been mistaken as a valet during his Community Organizing days on the SouthSide of Chicago.

That would mean he was mistaken for a valet by LOCAL leaders, well-to-do’s, swells and elites of the Southside. All of those people would be of African-American descendence.

If his anecdotal evidence pre-dates 2008 then it was his own “folk” who made the mistake...

The point of these confessions is to point out that it is not racist to be mistaken for someone in a less glorious position.

Once in Paris I was mistaken for a French prostitute. In fact, once at a hotel in Portland someone asked me if I was available.

Oh boo hoo....POOR POOR ME!

I’ve been mistaken for an Iranian, Jewish, a mafia member and Rick Moranis. To all that I say-—BFD.

I am not Black and I have been mistaken more than once for a Valet at a few high end restaurants when I stood out front waiting for family or guests.

It was pretty hard to refuse the keys to a Ferrari 458 and a Porsche Carrera and I was certainly not offended.

I have also been mistaken quite a few times for security or for a bouncer.

Not sure what to think of that, but I was not offended there either.

:: Racism has a way of making you view everything as a victim, which leads you to believe you are entitled to reparations, which naturally makes everyone your vassal. ::

Jealousy leads to anger
Anger leads to rage
Rage leads to the darkside

I was mistaken for a hooker. Blonde hair, high heels and a Fox coat. Never wore the fox coat again.

At least if he was a valet or waiter, the country would not have been harmed.
