White folk make the militant

[Afro]

This recent events have me thinking about things that I usually repressed or ignored in my daily life.

But today made me wake up more.

My first day at my new job, I had to sit and watch a DVD about safety etc etc.

Welp it was me and the training dude(middle aged white dude) and there is a tall, skinny black dude with glasses on screen loading a trailer.

"Hey, you could be cousins!"



I was not ready. I played it off with a dumb joke, but it stuck in my mind. I made sure to correct him hard when he said my name wrong.

"Oh oh it's just looks like-"

"That is how you say it, nothing else"

So later on in the day, they shove me in a trailer (amazon prime day)

and I'm paired with this odd white college student. We make small talk and towards the end of the shift, I'm like

"Yo, I'm so hungry ! Could eat like two pizzas myself..."

"Pizza your favorite food or something?"

"Nah, but it hits the spot."

"I eat al-"

"lol it must be chicken then "



Manager came in and the day was done for the day. As I was walking out I'm thinking to myself

This shyt has happened before. Why haven't I realized it?! White folk have always talked slick to me since I was little.

Started when I was eight. I would meet mom's white friends and every single time without fail it was,

"Ooooh this is your son?! Do you like to play basketball?"

I'm like "No?"

"Oh, other sports then?"




I started answering with "No, I don't play sports, I know how to read "



The numerous times I get the

"Wow Afro, your not like the other ones!"

"The hell do you mean by that?!"

"No offense, but you know how, well, some people act"



I had one black boss and he hated me from the jump

Had a mixed breh and he was cool as shyt

But white folk

Penultimate one was when I was talking to my district manager at a previous job and I said I can do full time hours now since my personal stuff had been taken care of.

My store manager literally said and I quote

"Oh personal stuff? Ah baby mama drama huh."

"wha"

Hispanic DM



"No man, what the hell?!"



I left the job the next day. There have been other times but wow, shyt has me thinking hard.

I may have ignored these comments before, but I think subconsciously my soul heard them loud and clear every time. I really want to just say fukk em all, I don't owe them shyt. Have I had white folk go out of their way for me? Sure, but the majority of them I've interacted with now has them suspect to me. All that slick talkin for all these years, the recent murders, the system being more blatant with how they treat and feel about us, the apathy of folk nationwide, the lies and slander, passive aggression, our history etc etc.

I don't want to flip out and smash a face in but I'm tired of people telling me to calm down. How do I channel my anger Coli. Because it has been aimed at myself for far too long

for not correcting your co-worker there are polite (i.e. job appropriate) ways to tell people they are wrong. You'll learn though ...

At this rate, I have an urge to not even be polite. If they can talk slick, they can take me kicking them down a flight of stairs.

EDIT: I have corrected people before, but I've had to do this too many times already. Hence my previously high apathy. How long do I have to do that before I crack?

Naw breh. You have to play the game. Just focus on being smarter and more eloquent than them. Then it'll come natural. I'm serious. Read and study all sorts of subjects including Communications, Psychology, Business etc. Let Google / Amazon be your guide. In the words of Nas / Wildstyle - "...stop fukking around and be a man."

I started answering with "No, I don't play sports, I know how to read "

Stopped taking you seriously after that line

I hear you man, I do. I've always spoke better then them. At all times, it makes me stand out more though. Then they really come at me with slick shyt, can't tell you how many times it's led to

"Man you talk white, how come?"

"wow you speak so well!"

More passive aggressive bs

I'm not talking about your voice or how Black you sound ....

I'm talking about your wit and your sharpness

You have to think on your feet.

How you just misunderstood my post proves to me that I'm right ...

Add classic literature to your reading list ... I'm not patronizing or trying to insult you - I'm being frank with you.

I apologize, caught up in my emotions man. I always let these frustrations get the better of me. Don't have a lot of people to vent to

I should start collecting the classic works. James Baldwin, Malcolm etc.

Any suggestions? I have 48 laws of power, how to win friends and influence people.
