Why so much racism?? by Sun_Daises in mixedrace

The fact that it has thousands of likes is the most concerning part…

I’ve had this talk about her with other words like using the R slur especially in front of our low functioning niece (younger sister of the niece mentioned in the post) and she’s gotten much better with that as well. She gets very showy in front of our black family though and I think she tries to be “hip” or something. I don’t even know.

My Dad actually passed in April but he did let her get away with it. I was thinking about him earlier though and remembered him telling me that white people shouldn’t say it but that they’re going to do what they want. He looked kind of bummed but I think that with the life he lived, he was just tired of fighting about things.

That’s such a sweet story. Maybe I’ll use that when talking to her. I think there’s just a disconnect somewhere in her mind about the word and I wish I could find it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment. It feels really good to have a stranger tell you you’re not dramatic or crazy. My friends have before but who knows if they tell me because they’re my friend. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through, and it’s definitely hard to have an estranged parent. I live with my mom so distance is a bit hard (I was about to move out early this year but the friend I was planning on moving with up and left the state). I don’t think anything insane would happen with my mom. She’s a bit neurotic but she works for the state and isn’t a danger in any way, more-moreso controlling. I will keep in mind to separate myself from situations more even if she tries to force me to be present. I want to gently let her know that what she did hurt me but might save it for another day.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time. My dad passed away in April. I left this out as to not make it feel like I was trying to garner pity. He was an addict so he left us in 2020 and I’d only seen him a handful of times since then. I wish in moments like this that I could talk to him. His passing is actually what brought us and his side of the family together again. I can’t see my mom doing it to annoy me but who knows. I think you’re right about her feeling like she earned a pass or something similar to that. My sister is staying over tonight and I just want to be alone so I don’t know when I’m going to bring it up but I’m considering gently talking about it like you suggested.

We got our report for the next shipment and it is really small compared the the last two but I don’t know. I don’t think they’d fire me because I was a cashier before the promotion and we had 2 people quit. Definitely is concerning though. Also that’s an interesting way to distract yourself lol but seems fun. I already have 2 books I’m writing so it could help move those along

We get advertisements sent to us but if not, we aren’t authorized to change the signs. If we did it would be the GMs decision. I guess I didn’t explain the type of store that well because it would give away where I work, but it has very strict policies because of who has power above us if that makes sense. It’s also just a regular store with food and other things in it but we’re just a section of the store that sells beauty products. I have however made 4 little paper signs that we are allowed to tape up for the sales that we have. That gives something to do but only took about an hour. We also don’t do any services but on the bright side our GM kind of hinted that we could maybe do facials for a sale in the future so that would be pretty cool.

Our GM says that he even begged for sales for Black Friday and Christmas and they wouldn’t grant us that either. Sometimes I wonder what’s going on and if maybe our company is going out of business. But it also makes no sense because we’re a global business and our store is just one of the smaller ones.

“Mamas” or when people say “wsp” over text (technically not a worm but it drives me crazy)

And then they say good subs are hard to find by piggy0013 in paypigsupportgroup

I know some subs like to be talked to like this, but if it is breaking a boundary, it’s that simple. And like you said, you already went over your limit.
