Ok, so I can not get over how racist people are these days. I am still stressing how people act and treat me at work. It really pisses me off that people think they can just down talk other races at will because they have some authority. That's why they will be working there for the rest of their lives and nothing more. I have come to realize that many of the jobs I have worked at I have had to deal with others jealousy. My mom has told me for many years (along with other female influences in my life) that I will come across many people who will be jealous of me. I never did believe her until now. It makes sense especially with the job I am at now. I am a young black, educated, pretty, female that has a nice car, comes from a nice neighborhood, and has a boyfriend that loves me to death. They have been working at Sonic since they've opened, most likely don't have a degree in anything, and personal relationships suck. Don't take this as if I am trying to brag on myself and be snoby because it ain't like that. I just realized why some white females feel the need to try to bring me down and make me feel bad about myself when I've done nothing wrong. It makes me feel even worse that someone who was supposed to be my best friend pretty much called me out of my name and made a racial slur towards me. I have been nothing but a good friend to her. I was there for her when she felt as though she had no one else. I feel as though all the racism I have had to witness just within the past month is turning me into someone I don't want to be. I am becoming very defensive when it comes to white people. I am continuously (sp?) being hurt when I have not done anything wrong to anyone. I can honestly say I am being scarred. I want to say something to the managers and let them know that the things they say are really offensive to me and I would like them to stop, but I am worried if I say something I will be fired. So I really don't know what to do other than look for a job, but they shouldn't continue to go on thinking that what they are saying to or about people is ok. I would go to the guy who owns the store, but he is a racist. I was told by Anita (ex-best friend) that he will never hire a black person to be a manager of his store. Most likely if he is racist the company is racist as well. So what do I do? Say something and see if they fire me, don't say anything and continue to deal with their shit, or just find another job and quit?

my advise to that.....cause ive been in that position b4. i wouldnt say anything at all and hurry to find another job. mean while dont take no shit from pple or whomever is treating you badly. most of all you shouldnt be scared of words.

and if you just cant take it anymore and you can offord it...quit! you dont have to take it unless you really need the job. its that simple.

you shouldnt let it worry you pple will be pple no matter what the situation is.

good luck

ooh manager ...tahts a good position. rep points for the referral

[BluesClues]

Thanks for the referral, but that is WAY too far from where I live (Newnan). Thanks for the advice Divina. I have decided to look for another job. They just built a brand new Kroger right around the corner from me and they are hiring. I am going to put in an application there tommorrow. Hopefully I can hurry up and get out of there. They aren't giving me hours anymore now anyway. I haven't said or done anything so I don't know why my hours are being cut short. I figured I will wait until I find another job and then say something to them. If they try to fire me then it wouldn't matter by then

ha yea thats a sign that they are trying to fire you and they either do it when you least expect it or you will end up workin once or twice a week and then they want you to come to them and tell them you quite. i say all togethrafter you find that new job bouce without saying a word. just get ya last check. if you warn them that you found a new job they will fire you and it may not be pretty...atleast on your behalf. BELIEVE me i know ....its like written in a handbook step by step.

good luck

Yeah I know. I guess I am so damn mad at her and so hurt that it makes me feel a little better to know she will never amount to anything better than what she is. It's wrong I know and I will just say I do pity her and the christian in me says pray that GOD will bless her.
