Oh ha ha ha, you silly racists
Enjoy your afternoon up in H.R.

Three people on the night shift thought it would be just hilarious to gift me with a cartoon of Obama, dressed in a tanktop that said, "No Home, No Job, No Food". He is holding a bouquet of roses in one hand and the balloon above his head says, "Give me one more chance, baby".

One put it on my desk. One put one in my mailbox. One pinned one on my bulletin board.

I took the pictures straight up to H.R. and told H.R. that I considered it racist it had to stop.

As the people have come in and come back to ask if I got their joke, I've been sending them up to H.R.

4. I haven't seen that pic and I'm not looking for it.
I assume that it is, indeed, a real POS? Is that an accurate assumption for me to make?

9. Why are some people like this?
Why?

I think it is a choice because my family is pretty racist going back a long way on both sides of the twisted family tree. And yet I recognized it, recognized that it was hurting me and others and I chose to stop being that way and I'm still working on it.

So if a regular dude like me can make that choice, then why can't / don't others? Is there some underground racist fuck economy that I don't know about handing out checks for being a dirtbag?

15. If there was...
We could donwhat the French underground did in WW2 and send people to the nazis to get paid for being informers all while working as double agents or moles. They used te nazis to finance the resistance against the Nazis. Clever those French.

That not only do you find this exceedingly racist, but it has created a hostile work environment!

14. Ignor is the key

If you don't respond to such things (which is hard to do) it will take the sting out
of it - and eventually situations like those will cease.

But most people enjoy confrontations - so my point is moot.

--my 0.02 cents worth.

17. Ignoring the teabag party was such a success right?
Now half a dozen states are making huge inroads into destroying unions, demonizing teachers and fire fighters and policemen, and making it impossible for women to have the right to choose.

Yeah, Gov. Scott Walker is such a great guy!
