do you get jumped alot? I have a couple of times and beat them near to death. I think maybe you need a new neighborhood or job to get away from the idiots giving you grief and such. or make them scared of you first chance you get, but keep it legal. The world is full of idiots and not just here,you are on your own

How so? Because you don't share my experience? It's people like you who are part of the problem. Your ignorance is stifling.

I was just using an analogy to rebut a critic. Never been jumped.

Well the 80% of threads mention race caught my eye. I suspect its closer to 8%. That's just the tip of the nutty iceberg.....

I would agree with your last sentence; however, you did not articulate very well why it is that you have to move to Canada. There are Aholes in every country. There are laws that deal with what you are reportedly having a problem with.

You are not going to find much sympathy on the board. Prejudice everywhere, why is yours unique?

No, I am trained to deal with difficult customers so that's not the issue. What I'm talking about is more of a sinister problem where certain customers intentionally avoid coming up to my counter because they see that I'm black. It seems like they automatically assume that I'm not qualified enough to process them due to my race. On the other hand, they quickly go to my co-worker next to me who happens to be white.
