Just call me 'Blackie'

I haven't written in a while, but I had something that happened to me and I felt that I needed to blog about it.

I was sitting in a meeting at work and this guy is writing on the white board with a black marker. Please note that this man is white....

Anyway, at the end of the meeting, he walks over to me and holds up both his hands, which are now covered in the black marker. He then announces, "I need to go wash my hands because I'm looking just like you".

Now, if you know me, you know that I am damn near his complexion…but we all know what he meant……

I just sat there stunned because this came from someone that I would have NEVER thought would be so insensitive and perhaps racist. I decided that it was not worth even making a big thing over since I am only at this place for a season. It’s just good to know where people are coming from….
