racism

[trying2learn]

so a guest comes into my office this morning (i work in a casino/hotel), and he asks me why we have Kool & the Gang playing our property.

he says, "because they're really aren't THAT many african-american people who gamble in here anyway"...

he goes on to say, "no i'm not racist...if you had that woman who was married to rick fox come in here...i'd probably go and see her."


i literally sat there in a daze...i couldn't wait for this guy to get the hell out of my office. makes me amazed at how lucky i am to be surrounded by mostly decent, intelligent people...cause there are a ton out there who fall far below the bar.
