Well YOU were the dick in this situation. You improved your position over them. You should have said "Ladies, you are ahead of me. You take the new lane"

There was no reason to. If she felt she was slighted for her color, that's her problem. She wasn't up in my face.

Anyone else thinking that rev gives off a skeevy vibe and the women were thinking he was dating his grand daughter. Wouldn't surprise me.

There are so many different variables that it boggles the mind why race is the issue in this exchange.

I'm guessing her frustration had more to do with her having to wait and arriving at the counter herself before they opened a second register. I can sympathize, because this pisses me off all the time.

You might have a reading comprehension problem in this instance? I was behind them, once they finally made their way to the open register the second was opened. I stepped up the the second because I was next after them.

And she couldn't have meant "NOW they open it up after I just made a comment about it"?

OP, you see how it feels to be told that a situation you're SURE was racial really wasn't?

With this understanding, now you are cool, racially. Feel free to use the n-word whenever you like.

She could have if she had addressed her comments to the cashier instead of at me while smirking and looking me up and down.

Maybe she was playing hard to get and wants to tap that white privilege.

The implication was that they now opened a second register for a white person.

Stop looking at everything through a racial lens. This is pathetic when blacks do it, its also pathetic when whites do it.

Dude, her meaning was not plain.


All you are doing is pretending that your reality is correct. And it's not.

There is historical record and scientific proof that many of the events in the bible did actually occur.
