    So why are they hiding the person that posted this awful ad, why keep his identity hidden, so he can go and get another job, and pull the same stunt again?

    I have a bad habit of always smiling when I'm face to face with people, even at my lowest point (mentally or physically), I really hate that about myself!! The lockdown was excellent for my anxiety & mental health.

      My brother asked me once why I'm always smiling. At the time it was actually an attack but it also highlighted that I go out of my way to make others comfortable to my detriment.

Or like when you're pulling up to an intersection and the light turns red before you get to go making you have to wait for every single other direction to get to go ahead of you!? We know why those cameras are on them light poles. We ain't dumb. And then it's totally on purpose to make you sit there in the front so everybody can stare with their racist eyes

    Wow. I was just talking about this to my therapist. The grocery store, the pharmacy. A trip to Little Island as a single trans woman of color. Being followed, subpar services, etc.
    "If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger." YES. It takes so much strength and fortitude to wipe the slate clean several times a day. Thank you Zerlina and guest.

    Oddly enough my ex-husband and I were followed by security everywhere in multiple shops, including one that insisted upon standing behind me in line to the checkout and move up the line with me, right after we both shaved our heads in support of a friend with cancer. I understand how difficult that is to deal with.

    The thing about micro-aggressive behaviour is that those who perpetrate it, can rely on the ready-made defenders within the community against which the behavior is directed. Those ignoramuses defend the odious acts of micro-aggression because its subtlety evades their cognitive ability.

    Is firing the employee necessarily the best way this could have been handled as in a way it kind of lets off the hook both the employee and the dealership. Here is what I would consider to be a more equitable settlement for the incident. The dealership should take back the Camry and upgrade her to something like a Crown or Sequoia at no charge (with complementary gas for at least a year) to show that they are actually really upset at the mistake that was made on their behalf. As to the employee, the dealership should continue to pay their salary, and the employee should be made to be the chauffeur for Trinity for a year. This makes the offending employee have to interact with the person that they offended so they actually get to know and interact with a black person which is something that they likely do not do on a regular basis, and that is why they have developed this attitude towards black people. It would put them in a position to serve the very person they offended and get to know them to reduce their racial prejudice. Reducing and eliminating racial bias and prejudice takes interaction of all people.

    I could understand that due to america's history. Its still hard for some people to live together in peace. But as for me i respect you and your culture. And i think thats because i am not from usa.
    Basically i think you're cool. Media helped me a lot. Movies and music doesn't matter old ones or a new ones taught me about black people's life difficulties. And i can't treat you nothing but with respect. The way you treat your brothers and sisters reminds me how we shold treat each other. And everytime i get emotional.

      I found it interesting in my travels, the most overt discomforts were in the US. I have lived in Scandinavia for 14 years and never had such constant, overt issues as in the US. I found it so nice to be simply looked at as a person, an American.
