Grrrr....

I am sick unto death of my racist co-workers disparaging Martin Luther King Day.

Every year, "Why do we have a holiday for him?, We need to find a demonstration! (said sarcastically), What a dumb holiday.," and on and on.

I am currently job hunting. I cannot wait to get out.

I just needed to vent.

and also from my conservative relatives. It's not that uncommon for idiots to say these things even in the year 2018.

I wish I could go to HR, but it's an extremely small company and the boss is also racist. The most racist character is his best friend!

Thanks for the encouragement.
