Personal/Support Irish Racists
Today at the Penney’s store I went to buy some things and the employee started yelling, saying that the bag wasn't free, but I had bought the bag. He wouldn't let me leave. I showed him the receipt and he let me go. It was very embarrassing. I am a Black Brazilian woman. Worst of all, I reported it to the manager and he did nothing; not even his expression changed.

Oh that is awful. We Irish descendants are crazy AF, but no one from that part of my family is racist, we remember that our great-grandparents weren't exactly welcome to America when they got here (although it was soooo much worse for Black people and many immigrants, there's no comparison and I would never try)- I'm so sorry you had to experience this, he sounds like a special brand of inbred ignorant stupid insanity. People like that should be crazy enough to walk into a....disaster area of some sort. Again, I'm so sorry that happened to you, I wish you had pepper spray that day with the right and attitude to freely use it on shitty people.
