Since the job is seasonal, we have had 3 months away from one another. She still waves & says Hi to me & I am still polite in return. That day is not something I am ever going to be able to forget. I know one thing, this video is going into the blog!!C4Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985376074953241123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485773.post-79437100531542047462009-08-23T22:16:32.176-05:002009-08-23T22:16:32.176-05:00I found you last fall when I was contemplating alp...I found you last fall when I was contemplating alpaca fiber. You've done some really good stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, as far as this issue goes it is a 2 way street and expectations have changed. Your co-worker's attitude reminds me of people who live together and then marry. Once married they expect everything to be different and it isn't which leaves them disappointed.<br /><br />I recently watched this excellent vintage episode of frontline,<br />http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/<br />which illustrates the dynamics of racism better than almost anything.<br /><br />I realize that this post is months old and hope that things with your co-worker have worked out better.Gabrielle Marsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05705965506489431100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485773.post-84613937768076239212009-02-12T10:26:00.000-06:002009-02-12T10:26:00.000-06:00I agree with the others that I really don't think ...I agree with the others that I really don't think this is particularly about the fact that President Obama was elected, but that your friend has other problems. I have noticed an opposite effect among many people, black and white of a pervading joy and relief particularly in the days right after the election and of course at the inauguration. I'm sorry that your boss considers firing her over this, because that will add to the tension between you. Good luck with that, and thanks for posting about my painting.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062266088887216663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485773.post-69072996737485511352009-02-11T12:19:00.000-06:002009-02-11T12:19:00.000-06:00I must say that I have always respected people of ...I must say that I have always respected people of all races-I may not like an individual person but that has nothing to do with his or her race, but we all have to accept that racists come in all colors. Obama is both black and white, and he doesn't appear to be a racist in any way, but because he appears black, and thanks to the media-it seems that black people expect him to give them whatever they want, and that he should be a racist, if that is what they thought was going to happen I think they are going to be dissapointed. I look forward to the day when black or white is only a word for skintone and nothing else. I hope I live to see it, but I won't hold my breath.Ladeewolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182775530989107060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16485773.post-53541506224380512772009-02-03T16:12:00.000-06:002009-02-03T16:12:00.000-06:00I randomly found your blog/this particular entry w...I randomly found your blog/this particular entry while doing a web search and I wanted to say that you did the right thing talking to your employer. While I want to imagine that there's something else--anything other than the election--that's caused your co-worker's personality shift, it doesn't really matter. What matters is what she's doing to and around children that can impact on their personalities for life.Angela Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025716502393219570noreply@blogger.com
