My encounter with Racism this weekend - no tolerance for it here!
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 12:45 PM by LynneSin
So I'm with at the local flea market this weekend with my family. While browsing we found a stand that sold carpet renaments and they had a nice 15ft runner that would be perfect for the 2nd floor hallway and it was only $20.

I get up to the stand and see that along with carpets, the man has a couple of stacks of stickers & patches that he sells including THREE different types of patches with the Confederate flag on them.

As soon as I saw them I refused to buy the carpet and trust me, I had the money out ready to hand it to him. My mother thought I was nuts but I told her - the guy was selling racist patches and I refused to patronize the place. It's not like this is the only store in the world that sells carpeting
