So I’m on a field trip right? I’m with two of my other female friends. This white lady comes up to us and says, “hey are you guys enjoying the event?” We each day yeah or yes or whatever. She says back, “Oh dang I shouldn’t say you Guys, I’m still trying to work on that.” We’re like, okay. We’re all girls it’s understandable but doesn’t really matter. This women proceeded to say to us with a smile on her face,
“You people.”
Mind you I’m black. My friends are black. We have the melanin. The hair. The shape. We black. She realized her mistake to late, physically cringing at herself as we walked away from her. But like wow, this is the first time anything like this has happened to me! I’m amazed it happened in such a diverse setting too! How was your Thursday?
