Racial politics at work

I always forget that no matter how long you've been working with Blacks, if a new Black person comes into the work place, they will trump your White ass every time. That is why Obama is not a real Black man. He does not know the meaning of the word loyal. Like one Black guy said, "Obama'd throw anybody under the bus to be president, even his own grandmama."

They closed the city jail a few years ago and sent the guards to work at different city agencies. We got a few. One of them had a lot of trouble in another department. He answers the phone rudely, refuses to state the business name which causes callers to have to go through a frustrating question and answer session to figure out if they have called the right number. He has also been accused of sexual harassment. I think he's just an ugly guy trying to get laid.

The other day he came to work an hour late. Our supervisor asked why he didn't call in. "I did, he claimed, but nobody answered the phone."

Why didn't you leave a message? The supervisor asked.

"Oh I don't leave messages," he replied smugly.

The boss just gaped at him in shock, but she didn't tell him he had to follow the rules like everyone else, because apparently he doesn't.

One day he comes over to me and says, "I'd like to talk to you more, but some people don't like it."

"Huh?" I asked, thinking he meant our supervisors.

"Black women don't like it when you talk to White women too much, he said, gesturing at my Black female co-workers. "I don't want to cause trouble for you, even though I'd rather talk to you because your conversation is more interesting."

Then I went and made the mistake of telling my co-worker half of what he said. I left out the part about interesting conversation though, not wanting to offend.

Of course it got back to him, cuz he's Black, so I'm the bad guy for what he said. I made him say it on account of my Nicole Simpson like power, with which I am able to tempt the Black man away from his rightful place at the side of a Black woman. Both from his perspective and theirs. Must be my interesting conversation.
