See this is what I don't understand.
How am I supposed to know if people like this lady are neighbors of mine?
How am I supposed to know if people like this lady, while I might interact daily with them... They're still acquaintances. How can I be expected to see past the face they show to the world?
The company this lady worked for was minority owned. They didn't know she was capable of this until she did it. Which they responded by terminating her position. I imagine this company performs background checks for their hires as well.
If this company didn't know she was capable of this, how do I?
I've mentioned that I have family members in Illinois who don't like our team picture because you're in it.
I've also mentioned that I told them, idc if they don't like the picture. He's my friend and it's staying up on my facebook.
How do I check these people? Should I yell @ them? Should I punch them? Should I take it to the next level and report them to the police? Should I out them to Portland's resistance so they can receive death threats?
These family members don't act racist in public, at least they didn't while I was there 11 years ago. Because they knew it would piss me off.
Hell it pissed me off when my biological fathers ex decided to turn off her tv show because(and I quote her) 'A bunch of ____ were arguing on the TV.'
I refused to talk to her outside of hi, bye. For the rest of the week I was there. So much so that my biological father and I got into an argument and I had to find my own ride to the airport.
I don't understand how telling white people we need to check these people is going to solve the situation.
I think Mr Toles handled himself perfectly, and I applaud him. He's a role model and everyone, not just minorities can learn something from him.
We can learn so much from how Mr Toles handled the situation. Be it racism, confrontational people, difficult situations, etc.
If I could meet Mr Toles I'd tell him. 'Thank you, you're a role model to everyone.' I'd ask if I could shake his hand.
I'd ask if he'd be willing to come speak with the nearly 80 young minds I'm responsible for.
Help me understand because I just don't get what I'm supposed to do.
I'm really not trying to be hostile or anything. So I apologize if this post comes across as it.
