What would your reaction be? The person of authority fortunately did not believe the other person, but I felt a strong urge to get back at her. I'm pretty upset because I do not use that word and that this person knows I did nothing wrong so she had to make something up because she doesn't like me. I have done nothing bad - in fact, I left her a note saying I wanted to call a truce. If she made up a false story about me using that word, do you think it's because deep down inside her she thinks I am a racist? Or do you think it's just the worst thing she could say about me to get me in trouble? I don't really know how I should feel about this.

i don't think that she thinks you are a racist at all. i think that she is a troublemaker and she doesn't like you.i don't use that word and i have never heard anyone use that word around me. i think that she made herself look stupid because now the person of authority knows that she is liar and i guarantee you that it will hurt her in the future.

It's hard to tell her motivation since we don't know her, but as 'unpopular' as this opinion may be...there ARE people of color who will use that accusation to their advantage when it's not true. It's called playing the race card, and while not ALL African Americans will do that and make the rest of their race look bad...(those who have some pride, wouldn't do that)...there are those who will, just like there are those of other races who use the 'N' word and make the rest of their race look bad. You just have to walk away from people like that. They're miserable and if they'd put half the effort into being a happy person as they do into being a miserable one...the world would be a better place.

Oy, ive experienced that as well. They make false acusations and spread rumours that you were a rasict jerk. I was stunned that she would go to great lengths to humiliate me.
Take it from me, its best not to care. Its a good thing that you want to confront her, to try to talk things out. But dont make it a big deal that can cause you both to do something you will regret later on. You know you didnt say those words, walk away if need be, and be the bigger person.

i think both. she may not like you cause she thinks your a racist or she could be a racist herself; so decided to lie about you. the person in authority needs to get both of you alone somewhere and let you both voice your opinions, with that person sitting in on it. dont try and get back at her, as that will only make it worse and you have to work togeather. its horrible when you work with someone that is prejudice, but unfortunetly alot of people are. sometimes all it needs is for you bothe to talk it out but not alone. have a 3rd person in authority there.

that happened to me once already in the past year. what I did was basically explain to them that by them making that accusation knowing it wasnt true, they called themselves that, obviously meaning that they weren't offended by it, had I actually said it anyways. That particular person was too stupid to realize the difference and ended up getting a ticket for disorderly conduct for trying to fight with me over it using fists in front of the cop. I laughed at another stereotype being filled right before my eyes.

No offense, but it's time to grow up. That kind of silliness isn't worth the time it takes to think about it. Walk away and find new friends.
