I have been the victim of racism as well but, I laughed at them.

They denied me service or tried to thwart my purchase and each time I simply laughed and left.

I spent my money somewhere else, that store was denied my money, those losers probably still live wherever they live and I still move forward...

By now, they probably have diabetes too...

Me, too, but in my case, forgiveness was more in order. Handed it over to God to deal with.

It is still awkward for me when it happens. I do what I can to make sure it happens as infrequently as possible.

My daughter does a side job with “Door Dash”. She quit doing Indian Food deliveries. (She’s white).

“I’ll sit there for 1/2 an hour after the pickup time. Ten Indians will show up, order and get their food. I’m still waiting!”

Years ago I must have wandered onto the wrong side of Washington DC. I was in a grocery store and EVERYONE (all black) was staring at me.

I asked one of the workers where I might find something. He looked at me and walked on by. I didn’t feel threatened, but it was interesting to be discriminated against. Although I must say, I have never ignored someone, or been rude to someone because of the color of their skin. (Well - except that time my older sister told me about when I was 2-years old!)
