In reply to the discussion: Is it now socially acceptable for white people to say the n word? [View all]Coolest Ranger
(2,034 posts)notice it when they say it. They notice how uncomfortable I look but they don't say anything. I had a casual conversation with it the other day with some family members. I let them know that I have had white people call me that like its nothing.
At a job I had back in the early 2000, I had a hateful customer call me up and curse me out because he did not want a black rep to help him. He called me the n word. He abused me for ten minuets. I had to deal with it because I was the night rep. I told the supervisor at our network operations center. He not only suspended the guys account but he CC the area manager who called me the next night and apologized to me.
The only thing that hurt worse about that situation was when my superiors would not back me on that. They wanted the guys money and in so many words they said fuck my feelings. I ultimately left that company. Couldn't take how they valued white people over me
