Obama's Racists By Shonda Ponder http://shondaponder.blogspot.com/2012/10/obamas-racists.html Today at work I fell victim to Obama's racists. As we were getting ready to open the doors, one of the girls on the line was loudly proclaiming to everyone that they should vote for Obama. Well, since she was voicing her opinion, I felt it was safe to voice mine. My response was, "If you vote for Obama you are a fool." Mind you, all the girls (at least seven of them) were black. I was white. In my workplace, I am a BIG minority. She said I didn't have a right to call her a fool for voting for Obama. I told her it was foolish to vote for Obama, again, and said, "and that is how I feel. That is my opinion. In my opinion is that he is a treasonous coward and a traitor to our country after what happened in Benghazi." She said, very loudly, "and I don't have a right to my opinion?" I said, "No one is taking away your right to an opinion, but if you can state your opinion then I can state mine." Then she got volatile and called me "White trailer trash" to which I got volatile and called her racist while she was threatening, with all of her friends there to gang up on my "white trailer trash a**" I said, "I hope you do"...and I didn't back down. I went off on her about her racist remarks and said that she cannot expect to be permitted to call me such without me calling her things I didn't say. What she was doing now was crossing the line between having an opinion into committing a hate crime. I went to the back of the restaurant near the office and she met me there and got in my face. I forgot what she said, but I told her again how I was not going to tolerate her using hateful speech toward me that I couldn't use against her and I was two inches from her nose, looking UP at her. (She's a BIG TALL girl) At that point, my boss came out and told us both to clock out and go home. I did so, with the determination that I did not want to work in a place where I am forced to hear other's opinions without being allowed to state my own, nor do I wish to be bullied or have racist remarks forced upon me that I do not use on other people.
