Last year, I went on a trip to New York wit my Girl Scouts troop. We were in the mall and just checking out tha stores and we went into dis one store that sponsered make-up. Now let me tell you, before dis store we went to plenty other make-up stores and we would try samples on each other and none of da store owners said anything. They didn't seem to have a problem wit it. A couple of them even asked to help us put it on! But one store we went into we started trying on make-up. Dis white lady comes up to us and says, "Um, u have to be 16 and up to try on make up." And she had dis fake-@$$ smile on her face!! We left immediatly complaining dat she could lose customers dat way. Now doesn't dat sound kinda funny? All of us are Black and we didn't even LOOK 16 let alone be it! And she was a middle-aged white woman. Now tell me, do u think it wuz racism? If u think u have been a victim of racism, tell me and why?
