I'm at work(help desk) and a customer calls in. I ask her for the usuall, name,address,phone#. I politly ask her to repeat her name because she talks faster than the guy on the old MicroMachine commercials. When I finally understand what she is saying, I ask her to spell her name, she spells it out F-A-N-I-S-H-I-A-T-I-A and at the end says "damn". How the hell am I supposed to know how to spell that?
I get the rest of the info and ask her to hold a minute as I look up her records. We can hear what they say when they are on hold.
"I cain't believe this F--kin' white boy. I has to spell my name fo him." yada yada yada. "I ain't understand how dumber some of those persons is."
I come back and to my delight inform her that her computer is outside of manufacturers warranty, by over a year! Well for all of you that do the samething, you know this is when the customer starts saying, "So you don't stand behind your product. I never should of bought this cheap piece of $#it in the first place."
1.I don't write the warranty I just support it.
2.Insulting the product doesn't bother me. I've talked more crap about the computers than they ever will.
Back to my point. Why is it that if I White person says something like "White Power" he's a racist. If a black person says it, it's racial pride.
Also why is it that the KKK can't walk down the streets with guns yet the Black Panthers can rally outside a Texas prison with shotguns and AK-47s and not get arrested.
Why can blacks get away with rasism but not whites?
