I honestly don't think it hit me until moms started crying, just bc I got fired. Then I realized what I was going to have to deal with for the next 50+ years

I had a similar incident although it was due to a restaurant refusing us service, my mom reacted the same way.

I feel bad for my brothers/sisters working in sales I remember my cousin worked at a high-end jeweler, customers would always question them on if they worked their even though she was behind the counter. They'd wait for one of the white workers to get done with other customers rather than letting the black person get the commission.

They stayed making my cousin clean-up at closing time, They wouldn't properly teach her all the functions of the cash register, wouldn't give her the codes necessary to do refunds she always had to ask them. I recall something going missing and they kept asking her if she knew were it might have been .

My previous boss, who is white, was trying to convince me to stay in his department and take a promotion. He told me to give up on trying to transfer departments cuz the hiring manager "only hires white guys".

I got the job and my old boss got fired.

Alright, this goes back to 2005 when I was still living in Pittsburgh. I moved back to the Burgh from Ohio after I pretty much flunked out of college second semester of my sophmore year in Marietta and decide to go to community college in 2004. That year I tried finding work to save up money while living at my mom's house and the only place that would hire me was McDonald's.

So back to the summer of 2005, I was looking for work to make money, and found this ad for speakers...I thought we would be installing them in people's houses. I went to the interview, I was told what the job was about, they hired me, and the next week on Monday I was there for my first day of work. I was the only person of color there in a staff of 8 white guys.

I slowly but surely started to realize this was not a legit job. Wwe would have teams of two three peopel in a unmarked white van and we'd go to parking lots in malls and at fast food places and ask people if they "needed" speakers" basically selling them in a lot using rushed sales tactics. Basically I was a trainee that week and they paid me to observe.

I tried selling speakers using the pitch they gave me, and every time without fail, the white people I'd pitch to ask me "are these stolen?" "what's wrong with them?" while when the white guys pitched to EVERYBODY (including black people) they assumed they were getting a great deal and wouldn't hesistate to buy those thangs.

In the middle of the week these white guys begin saying some borderline racist shyt to me, but they assumed I would think they were joking. I didn't think much of it cause I was 20 at the time and not privvy to race and racism as I am now.

Here's where it gets interesting...near my last days there.

I was introduced to this newbie, this 19 year old white kid. And basically he was making moves in the company, tehy were about to promote him cause he was a good sales person etc. I was in a van with him and another guy doing rounds. WE stopped at a Sheetz to discuss sales plans and how to pitch/. So basically I talk to him, ask him "what should I do" "how should i approach the sale?" cause I wanted money to move out of my parents house. I was laughing just taking it easy and this kid just says to me with a mean look in his eye "stop smiling". Then after getting stuff from Sheetz we head back on the road to get back to "work".

So then, the 19 year old pulls the van over at a Best Buy parking lot and talks to this black dude driving a Cadillac Escalade (which looked hella nice BTW), and asked him if he wanted some speakers. The black guy simply said "no, I'm not interested". And drove off. This kid utters as loud as fukk, with me in the back "I knew he was a fukking n****r". His co-worker told him in his own words "to watch his fukking mouth."

TBH, me and everyone else in that crew had no real issues...just me and this 19 year old punk bytch.

Which pissed me the fukk off. I was like . I couldn't even speak to this motherfukked after that, I seriously was thinking about quitting that day, just to beat the shyt out of this racist cac.

The next day after this incident, me and another partner took the vans out to go grab sales and make some money. I managed to pitch a guy who was willing to buy speakers from me. I was like "yes!". So as I was about to take the ,money from this guys hand, my partner/co-worker that day (a white guy) immediately gets between me and him and just grabs the money as he was about to give it to me. And ended up taking my sale...from me.

And now for the kicker...the last day I worked there.

After a while, I was getting paid just to be a trainee, the third or fourth day after that, they just decided to stop paying me. This was deliberate.

We met in the morning before we loaded the vans up with speakers and went about our work day. The regional manager comes in and gives us a pep talk. After that pep talk, I went to take a piss.

I legit overheard this guy saying "don't bring that n****r back here" as I was in the bathroom. He said it real low.

After that work day, I was fired immediately for not making any sales (we had to make two to become full sales people at that job).

To this day, thinking about this incident...this is WHY I REFUSE to work for white people. EVER. AGAIN. PERIOD.

@DrX
@ridedolo

I'm happy I got that wakeup call cause since then I was hellbent on making my own opportunities.

I was also very proactive in making sure every employer I had since then was black...and they have been with the exception of one.

damn bro, yeah that's rough. I've worked a retail job out ....where I did damn near everything with no training and still got passed over for a promotion by a guy had no training in my dept...The lead quit and of course the black guy that won awards for performance couldn't get the job, what sense does that make?, my manager gives it to this random white kid from another dept and who wasn't even trained to work in the dept

that's when I got my confirmation that I have to own my own company....and I was working in a racist buffalo suburb, I almost got into few fights with customers being racist a$$holes for no reason, I treated everybody with respect....smh one white lady called me a "reverse racist" for taking care of a black lady who was ahead on her. I was young tho so I was more naive and I still wanted a "career" so I didn't want anything that could hurt my chances at a better job(that better never came btw lol). The me now is subject to choke one of them esp my c*nt female manager lol so its good im done with that.

But I knew that job shyt was bullshyt after a few months...

Only time I had a racist experience at work was when the janitor called the cops on me cause he thought I was trying to break into a car (the car was mine).

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

Hearing these stories makes me want to start my own Business. If some racist shyt happened to me I'd probably lose my shyt and knock someone out.

lol I remember a crazy experience with a white customer. Its hard to even describe the encounter but dude looked like the grand wizard of the KKK, a fire red John Wayne looking dude. Dude had this stone cold killer look in his eye, completely still face, no emotion like the terminator, the tension was so thick between us u could feel it. dude basically would've had his boys hang me if this was the 30s. Dude stared a into my soul and I stared right back lol, like something out of a movie, like a western stand off hahahaha....we had this cold war going....dude came into the store and his hatred for me was so powerful u could feel it, he was so robotic, like a machine made to kill black folks. thats one of the crazy encounters Ive ever had....like we both knew the the deal off the jump, no emotion between us...

Im sure that dude ad to be an ex cop...or some retired military guy...but i could tell he caught a body in his day

I remember one time when I was 15 working in a grocery store, these two cacs (man and women) who were in their early twenties telling me to smile cause they wouldn't be able to see me otherwise.

shyt like that is turning my heart ice cold towards cacs.
