In reply to the discussion: Two Black Women Walk Into The Grocery Store . . . [View all]noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)30. me too, Blanche
I really wish my good friends in that class did not view that incident as a personal attack on me, instead of a foul and racist attempt to justify her poor performance of her job. She whined and moaned about getting divorced while neglecting her professional responsibilities, then tried to play a race card as justification for HER failures...epic FAIL. but she was smart enough to know when and how to play that card, but not smart enough to actually DO the job she was being paid to do. I still despise her after 10+ years.

What the hell? Did she think that her racist comments would make you swoon or something?
