Racism

July 17,2017: First of all, it's 7-17-17. Let's all take a moment to appreciate it!  LOL!
For those of my readers who happen to be darker skinned than myself, please do not take any offense to this article.  It's not aimed to you! My friends and family who know me well, know that I am not racist and that I don't have a hateful bone in my body towards any skin colors.
Several times in my life I have been called racist. It's always a black person that is quick to point out racism. Anymore I feel like black people are becoming racist against white people being racist. Back when I worked at a gas station I saw a gentleman that had a bag of candy in his pocket and I could only see a centimeter or so of the very top of the bag. The top of the bag looked very similar to product that we sold in our store. I stopped the gentleman and asked him if he had already paid for that product. I didn't say anything else. At that point the gentlemen reached into his pocket, and grabbed the bag pulled it out and showed me the product. It was not one of our products. He explained to me that he had already purchased it from somewhere else. At that point I said, "Oh I am very sorry," turned around and walked away. His wife then proceeded to come over to me and started calling me a racist profiler. She then explained to me that she worked in a retail store and she would never approach a customer even if they were stealing something. At that point I realized that she didn't care about her job because she would allow people to steal stuff right underneath her nose. I then explained to her that I was the assistant manager of the store and I was only trying to protect my store, myself, my company, and my employees. She went on then to ask me if I knew who he was. I said no. She said, "He's a Pastor!" I simply looked at her and said, "So, I'm a Deacon's daughter!" At that point she said I don't care what you are, you a racist profiler. I then kindly responded ma'am it's hard for me to be racist when my boyfriend is black. The woman was simply mad that a white person asked a black person if he had already paid for something. How dare a white person ask a black person a question. If that had been a white person I would have still asked the same question. I was very well aware that that was a church group. I'm also very well aware that preachers have been caught stealing money from a church. We once had a preacher tell my parents that my brother and I should be homeschooled all because it didn't suit their views. That preacher was later sent packing and we lost half of the congregation. The only thing black people see is the color of my skin and how white I am. Because I'm so white due to the Irish background and my red hair I am automatically the most racist white person that black person has ever seen. I've been called racist just because the person didn't like the fact that I was not interested in him. It's so strange that were in the 21st century we've gotten past black segregation. However now I feel that it's white people that face racism from the black people. Sometimes I'm even afraid to say black people or African Americans. Today we had a black woman that came in with her dog and she was told to take the dog back outside because dogs are not allowed in the mall. She simply looked at the security officer and said no I'm not going to it's too hot outside. She then continued her shopping. I later found dog urine that I had to clean up. As I was talking to the security officer he was trying to explain to me why he couldn't just throw her out because she was black and because she would have said someone else's dog peed there. She would have claimed that we were being racist. The fact of the matter is she was disobeying the rules. There's a large majority of black people out there that think the rules don't apply to them because they're black and if a white person enforces the rules that white person is racist. It's always a black person that brings up racism towards a white person. Yes, I know I brought up racism by writing this blog, however, it was in hopes that someone else besides myself, would see the racism towards whites. I know I'm opening myself up to a can of worms.I'm not trying to poke fun at anyone. Just trying to make awareness.

This is my blog. This is my voice.
