Racism in the work place...

Im wearing my Bad Brains shirt today and a guy Im friendly with came over and said "Bad Brains thats a black band right? A black punk band?" So I say yes and he says "My friend loved Bad Brains and I told him I knew they were a black band before I saw them. He asked how I knew and I said I just listened to the drums. In every song the drums sound like this...." and he proceded to go "Jiggaboo-Jiggaboo-Jiggaboo-Jiggaboo..."

I was so floored that I didnt know what to say so I just walked away...

I hate people.

ha yeah i avoid wearing any band t shirt in here....or playing music....the last retard they stuck with me would always ask dumb questions like is this hardcore? do they hate niggers? he saw some file on lime wire or something that was labeled as hatebreed called kill the niggers and assumed it was all white power stuff.

then again, none of these schnooks ever heard of the Sex Pistols so they're just stupid.

I'll tell you one thing.... when Stevie Wonder kicks into that beat at the beginning of "Superstitious" you know instantly it isn't a honkey playing that shit.

Nah... its not bad. Im not even mad at the guy for saying it. It just amazes me that people will just spout out stuff like that without even thinking.

When I first started where Im at they talked about how "It got really dark in there at night" it took me weeks to understand that they ment that a bunch of black guys worked on second shift.

Yeah there is definately a difference between things that asre said as an un-pc joke and things said out of genuine racism.
