Got Smacked By The Race Card...

[Whazzup]

I overheard a similar conversation once that included that exact statement, "But he's BLACK!" I still treasure the reply and the person who offered it:

"Yes, but he's only black on the outside. You, by comparison, are black on the inside."

The bigot was so shocked he just stood there with his mouth open as the rest of us in the room silently filed out.

It was a moment to treasure! I *so* wish it had been me who said that.

Zazu, that was so priceless it brought tears to my eyes! An excellent response to an ignorant bigot.

I have retired from 31 years of teaching and there are only three things I would have to be destitute to try:
Band instructor - You have to love music to do the same thing over and over.

It's not the same thing over and over. I'm starting on year 13 (did I really say that? :eek :) , and I can tell you that every group is different, and every year is a different show.

I will agree with you that bus drivers are really special people, having to put up with way too much for very little money!

Grrr. Don't blame you. If it happened like he described it, management should be backing him up. :mad:

After rereading his initial post it appears he got nailed for yelling back at the SG. Sometimes ya gotta grin and bear it.

Too bad he got fired.

BW,

Sorry to hear about Beaker. I hope things get better. :)

That isn't fair that Beaker was fired over something like this. It seems that Disney wants there cast members to be punching bags. Does the golden rule treat people the way you want to be treeted not apply here? If Beaker was fired does that mean the family who started this is band from the park? The answer is probly not. Couldn't Disney ban them for it least a little while? I mean wern't they the ones causing the problem?

Yes, no, and no. It's "the customer is always right" taken to an extreme in some cases.

Sucks to hear that he got fired. :(
