(rolleyes)<br /><br />And yeah - they were serious... and... NO. It was *NOT* acceptable to use the generic term 'black', though "white" remained perfectly acceptable for those who were not 'AA' or 'owid' or ... or... or... or even...<br /><br />I actually got called in for a "counseling session" (read:hang-em-high-meeting) because someone overheard me use the term "monkey-work" and just knew - KNEW - that I was referring to (screw-it) black people.<br /><br />I handled it in the only proper manner - I rolled my eyes and asked if they were serious - they were.<br /><br />I stood, and calmly told them that: <br />1) they were all INSANE<br />2) anyone with two brain cells to rub together ought to be able to see that if person "A" used the word "monkey" and person "B" automatically assumed that meant "black people" then PERSON "A" IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE BIGOT IN THE BUNCH! - ergo...<br />3) I would not even dignify the stupidity of the accusation with any further response<br />4) had work to do, and<br />5) they should feel free to call me if they ever had something REASONABLE AND SANE to discuss with me.<br /><br />I then wished them all a good day exited the room - leaving most with their chins hanging somewhere south of their knees...<br /><br />And no - I never heard another word about it!Dedicated_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375339835638311982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108463567672522750.post-27913494150400481182012-05-08T12:04:53.037-05:002012-05-08T12:04:53.037-05:00You're spot on, Teresa!
