Experiencing a racist remark at work can be upsetting. It is important to address the situation by documenting the incident, speaking to a supervisor or HR, and understanding your rights. Seeking support from colleagues or professional resources can also help you navigate the emotional impact.
I was told my department was just a bunch of house niggas.....
*gasps*
That's totally offensive, if I were you, I'd complain and get that person either demoted or fired. The way things are going now on both main street and wall street, there's no room for stuff like this anymore.
What happened to cause a reaction like that, I'm just curious
would you believe it was a black person that said itβ?
well cappy...i work in a medical billing office...of course today was boss day and we all made plans to buy my boss flowers and things...she was upset because we did let her know....its stupid...and then she made that dumb ass remark.....i did tell my boss....(shes white) she was more upset than I was.....I think they are going to fire her but I have not heard anything yet
i dont know guys...i am really upset about it...
Hmmm...I think I'm a little more snide than most people. So before telling, I would've put my co-worker on blast by asking her what she'd like to do in honor of our boss. Make her feel small and immature BEFORE reporting her.
But that's just me. Keep your head up and tell her to get her head out of her a**.
-LBD
yea we gave our boss a gift card...flowers, and a card....our boss is one of a kind
would you believe it was a black person that said itβ?
Of course I do π Race has not to do with an offensive remark. People feel how ever they feel regardless of whatever. Most of the time people with the strongest feelings about their own, how about that π I learned this in one of my social science courses π π π
That course was fun, I want to take that class again lol
cappy i need to take that class too...LOL
was it social psych cappy?
You know MsPisces sometimes you need to shut the hell up. I don't care that your father is black. Sometimes you sound so damn RACIST!
FYI The "N" is not used as a JOKE, it's mainly used when someone is MAD! as in this case on dward417 job the girl was apparently upset about something and used the N word to raise a commotion.
I wonder how you would feel is someone called you a Half Breed Mixed up BITCH!
You must already know that I don't LIKE YOUR FAKE ASS
hello sugar butt how are you today
HI! COP π You and that 'sugar-butt' name is going to cause a huge bump on your head from my frying pan π
was it social psych cappy?
Hi Wheels π
Nope, I think it was Mass Media and Society. Coolest class ever! π
I brush it off.
lol!!! Isn't there a song call, "brush it off" or is it "shake it off" or something. My brain hurts, I don't remember.
i dont want anyone saying the n word to me....white or black
i would respect you more if you call me a b!tch or a whore
damn i couldnt type b i t c h or w h o r e
Nope, nope, nope, nope this song wasn't by a guy ...
Hmmmm, hahahaha I don't remember. UGH! It's the lady that sang, "We belong together"
YEAH!!!!
I can't believe I forgot all about her! She's like a big name in music π Not a huge fan of her but I like a few of her songs.
well we know shes not racist.......
cappy i need to take that class too...LOL
hahahaha, I had the coolest prof man, he was so cool π Plus we learned a great deal. Some stuff I aready knew because I have an open-mind about all human relations type stuff, but still the class is cool π
Actually, I find it disturbing how every time there's talks about culture on DXP people get all bent-out-shape or it turns into some kind of war-of-words. I like to think that people can talk sensibly about any subject without going a-wall lol!!!
There are a few others that need to take the course too, but I'm not sure how long they'd last LOL!!!
When I was a kid (12 -13)I was a huge fan of hers. Now I can't stand her.
She was cool until recently. I'm not sure, it seems like she doesn't want to evolve, she's trying to remain the same. I'm not sure but I don't like, "Touch My Body" hahaha, I don't like that song one bit.
"We Belong Together" was awesome π
hi Prince π
Yeah, she cool but I'm not into her newest album ...
She seemed cool back then. Now she looks plastic.
*nods*
She was the greatest back in her "Hero" days.
"When I was a kid (12 -13)I was a huge fan of hers. Now I can't stand her."
same here. i bought her first cd and i used to sing my heart out to it. π
hero was one of her best songs....i like her christmas song Oh Holy Night....
i'm a big fan of vanishing...and the other 3 ms.pisces posted
Less upsetting to talk about mariah than the dumb things people in RL do......
*high-fives SB*
Ive heard every Mariah song lol. and i luuurve them all
Her recent album just hasn't made waves with me, I'm not sure why
"Nope, I think it was Mass Media and Society. Coolest class ever! π"
gonna hafta keep my eyes open for that one. fits my major very well.
Really? "Touch My Body" was a complete turn off for me LOL, and then her other one she put out didn't get me either. I'm not sure whats going lol
But I love Rihanna -- 'Disturbia' is my favorite song so far.
sb that is soooo true
thanks for making me feel better
"would you believe it was a black person that said itβ?"
yeah, a non-black person wouldn't care to make a distinction between a house n versus a non-house n.
it always amuses me to see people trying to think they're better than others of the same race. Very common human phenomenon.
Ms.FakeAss
Why are you still harping on what I said apparently you don't "brush stuff off" . I am over what I said to you, You now know that I don't like you, you are fake, so if you are so used to brushing shit off when people talk about you then move the fuck on and talk about something else, because your comments mean nothing to me. So as of right know you have never seen me before, don't comment on my comments don't do nothing where I am concern and we will get along just find on this site.
cappysweetie, i dont like Rihanna LOL. . i only like one song "Unfaithful" or something.
Awww Prince, I adore her π "Shut-Up and drive" is another good one π
i don't think she's fake.
she just happens to be very disconnected (pisces or aquarius, or both?) from a lot of things that really offend and inflame a lot of other people. great for analysis, not so great for winning over others.
how the fuck did pop music get mixed into this?
There we go got to you did'nt it. π I knew you was fake can't brush shit off...LMAO....
hahahahahahaha..... Oh Ms.Pisces who have been called names and loves to brush shit off look at you know mad Weak Bitch
Well my job is done π LMAO
Know leave me the fuck alone and be fake around the people that can't see it.
Have a good day π
well guys wanted to give you heads up....THEY FIRED HER!!!!!
dward417 I did not know you was in the medical field?

That is really cool. Do you like it?
So, is everyone on their period around here, or what? *fires some Bulk Midol*
"well guys wanted to give you heads up....THEY FIRED HER!!!!!"
Good! I figured they would when I read your OP.
"I loved Mariah when I was younger, too....when she actuallly sang."
When was that? lol Never could stand her voice. Sounds like someone murdering a cat.
"Whats up SeaSeaβ"
