Today I was in the shop with my kids we were having a nice enjoyable day. When we left the store we said “Have a nice day!” to the lady behind the counter. She said “take your silly white ***’s out of the story” I WAS SURPRISED BY THIS!!! I SAID “WOW THAT WAS PRETTY RACIST!” And left now of course I was pissed and I said where is your manager? ; but then left the store because it was not worth by time. We went to another store thinking that all was over. When here comes a black lady who was in the store at the time…. Started talking about my white fat *** again …WHAT IS DOING LOOKING AT MY ***!!! lol ANYWAY !!!
I decided that I was going home cause she was not backing off …. And I did not want my kids to get hurt … So we left and Hello!! She follows …. What’s is with that
I try to move to one lane and she follows I move to the other she follows … this goes on about 3 or 4 times … I decided I’m going to pull off and go down a side road so that way she can have the road

I hope you took the opportunity to explain to your kids that the kind of behavior they witnessed was not acceptable and that all people of ANY race do not behave that way. Sadly, that kind of hatred can breed racism and it is up to parents to teach their children better. I'm sure this negative experience left an impression on your kids, so address it, using it as a teaching opportunity, and then set a good example by putting it behind you.
(Also, always give the management of a store your feedback, even if it means calling later or writing a short note, but try to be calm and rational, no matter how infuriating the experience is. Include the offender's name if possible, or some specific identification such as a salesperson number on the receipt or at least the date and time. And don't forget to give positive feedback to managers as well in stores where you have positive experiences. These days a lot of companies' raises and employee incentives are based on customer satisfaction ratings and the good ones should be rewarded!)

This does not make you racist. The woman who started in on you would be considered racist and crazy I am sure. You should have called 911. With the amount of road rage anymore you should never pull to the side of the road and hope they will pass. Drive to the police department and watch them leave you alone then. The world is full of hateful people anymore. I am grateful you were not harmed.

WOW! What store was that at?? The people who said that to you are raciest! I can't believe they said those things to you around your kids! Some people are just really rude! Maybe you should avoid those stores from now on. But you should go back at least one more time to tell the manager. They have no right to say that to you, or anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does this have to do with women hating men??? I don't get the first answer, but anyway, I don't think you're a racist. It sounds like the other person is. She also sounds very ignorant. You probably did the right thing by leaving, esp. since you had your kids with you. They didn't need to be around that.

Remember, you are just a couple miles south of GARY....
Drive 5 more minutes to the store in CP.
There seems to be a mind set with black women in the area...
Funny how reverse discrimination works...
Complain on the Phone to the OWNER.......

Don't make excuses for racist blacks. Sue the store the way they sue everyone in sight.

Your @$$ is not white? Does 911 ring a bell? This is borderline criminal harassment.
If you now hate (almost) ALL black people for this you have become a rasist now.

No, you probably just crossed paths with another bitter middle-aged woman who hates men. They're everywhere unfortunately.

That doesn't make you a racist, it makes the other women racists.

Damn, where do you live? I would be scared to go to your city. I can't believe people would treat you that way. God bless and please take care.
