Not that I'm against black history, but really, how can a workplace "force" you to celebrate and take quizzes on something like that? That is bizarre!! Where do you work? Really, isn't that illegal?!
Quite easily. They have been handing out Black History Quizzes. Place your name and Supervisors name on it.... Reminding people of the date that they are due back in.... Forcing comes in the fact that in an environment where a white person is a minority, and if they refuse, they automatically start labeling you as a racist. As the same thing happened, when they found out that I didn't vote for Obama.
If it were me, I would be finding new work. I give you props for putting up with that kind of behavior though. I agree with your other statement that we can never fully get over the black/white issue if we keep bringing it up every February how different we are. We can not keep living as a nation the way we are. Not sure how it will happen, but we are a powder keg waiting to blow.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
