I would have handled it like I didQUOTE=2Real4Real;14554348]In corporate america or in high paying jobs you cannot suck at all. White people suck all the time and get promoted.
I remember that black guy who finally got on at the beer plant as a driver and was so thrilled. The only black person at the entire facility. He was proud of himself. He had landed his dream job. Only a week or two in he got caught "stealing" a case of beers. Did he do it... Fuck yeah he did. They fired him... He came back Locked and Loaded. Postal Rampage style and murked a dozen or so racist crackers and then offed himself, one shot to his own head.
Crackers on the internet had a field day on why they should not hire black people. "Called him ****** this and ****** that" Sounded feasible to be critical (not racist) until you look more closely. Did he take the beer??? YES he stole a case of beer. The reality of it is that ALL the drivers pilfered beers and had been for years... Case loads would be "borrowed" Right out in the open right in front of management by white drivers who bragged about it. Never a word is said. As soon as a black man takes a single beer he gets fired. Shamefully dismissed prosecuted and reminded he is not as good as everyone else and never will be...He probably felt stupid for being proud he landed his dream job. All that hard work and perfect behavior for nothing. His dismissal meant he let his family down. Not only did the white people not care they ruined his chances of ever even driving again, starved his family and laughed at him. I am not saying he should have killed those people, I am saying worst things have happened.
BGOL... How would you handle that situation???[/QUOTE]
II would have handled it like I did when they close to one or the facilities at my job. There were a ton of people loading up their cars with stuff, I'm not going to be specific but it was a lot of equipment that was going to be just thrown away. I knew that there were cameras, I did not know where and I did not want to risk my career for some stuff so I took nothing. People I know we're talking about how much they took and what they did with it and I just nodded my head.
just my luck. I don't have the best of luck, but I knew that if I would have tried to take something, anything I would have been on camera or spotted by someone and lost a decent paying job for nothing.
white people can get away with such things and simply be told not to do it again. Black folks don't get that chance. Knowing that I took nothing. Not a stapler, not a clock (and if they had one of those fancy clocks to. Had temperature, humidity, time zones and daylight savings time, but I did not take it. I felt like Dave Chappelle walking away from all of that stuff and taking none of it. Looking back as Dave Chappelle does, I wonder about taking some stuff, but I don't regret much
