I don't understand something, and maybe you can help.
I used to work in retail doing returns and exchanges in a department store. We had policies in place that kept people from bringing back items they had either damaged or would cost the store too much money to take back. I enforced these policies with EVERYONE. It didn't matter who they were. Some customers were black, and some of those (not all, but some) would throw out the line "It's because I'm black," and then proceed to indirectly call me racist, to which management would pretty much cave in and give them what they wanted and basically agree with them.
I find this very insulting and a little confusing. How is it that I can treat blacks the same way I treat everyone else and be a racist, yet some of them can look at me and assume that I'm a biggot because of my skin color, and yet I'm still the one who is wrong? I know that there are whites who are racist, but why do some think they have the right to assume I am one?
