<p>[QUOTE="bryan21384, post: 11465534, member: 33397"]I understand where you're coming from. As a person of color, I never play the race card. Honestly, I can't say that I've experience a whole lot of racist issues. Even though I don't experience them, I will still listen. I find it important to be aware of what's happening in society. I think it's good to listen to an objective ear, because sometimes it is racism and other times it isn't. In the OP's case, it's really inconclusive. She was there and we weren't. I don't totally dismiss it because prejudices, stereotypes, and racists are very much live in our industry. I've seen instances on TTR that were a bit out of line, in my opinion. In 12 years, maybe twice I've experienced a little prejudice. It sucks but out here, I gotta have a short memory about that stuff because it's on to the next load. That's how I cope. Not everyone copes like me, so that's why I listen to what others go through and try not to downplay it. That's why I am encouraging folks to listen objectively, some may heed what I'm saying others may not. It ain't in everyone's capabilities to try to relate or understand others that don't look or think like them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
