Uneventful Day until the end

Good day ya'll,

So today I returned back to work from vacation and it was not good.  Work is work right?!?  So most of the people I talked to today were kind of cool.  There wasn't really a person I wanted to write about or even talk about untill 8:45 pm. 

To set the stage for this semi educational experience, my store was mostly vacent, with a few installers we had coming in to replace the carpet.  The three men were White, Black, and Mexican who were redoing the carpets and they are all very nice guys.  You know the type, they work hard and just kind of enjoy not being professional because their jobs don't really require professionalism, and I'm cool with that. 

At 8:45, this older couple walked in.  The man had a roll walker that doubled as a seat with a minister collar on over a pit staind undershirt, and the woman looked like humped bails of hay her whole life, very square and bland looking, almost manish.  I got the pleasure of helping them with their purchase and introduced myself.  As I'm asking them questions, I thought i heard the man say, "I can't believe we give green cards." under his breath.  So I'm thinking great, this is going to be plesant.  After we go over a few things, he asks me what my last name is, and I tell him.  He wants to make a Polish comment, I could see it in his eyes when I blirted out, "It's Korean." 
Rev Racist:  "Yeah and I'm a Nigger!"
Bryan,        "Wow! you must be related to Mr. Jackson."
Rev Racist:  "C'mon son, don't be insulting."
Bryan:         "Sure"
Rev Racist:  "how do you think we got this way?"
Bryan:         "What way?"
RR:            "I can't even pull in to my garage without having to call the cops because someone is blocking my driveway.  Or all the dead Mexican's in the dumpsters!"
Bryan:       "yeah, i'm use to that, from Flint!"
RR:           "Oh you know about them huh?"

At this point I have a feeling that the Mexican and Black guys that were waiting to do thier job might be hearing what this guy (Father Racist) might be saying so I changed the subject to something that I thought would be less likely to go down a bad road.

Bryan:      "So are we looking for something for both of you? 
RR:          "Woman don't deserve nothing!"
Bryan:      Laughing, "that's good, so..."
RR:         "I ment what I said!"
I look at the lady to check for confirmation, and she gave it to me with a straight stare.
Bryan:     "Ok, just one then.  Anything else I can help you with?"
RR:        "No, It stinks in here!"  Looking at the soon to be carpet layers.
Bryan:    "Thank you for the education and coming in!"

I couldn't believe this just happen.  I mean seriously, this guy sitting on his little roller/walker/seat thing, and his manish wife, whom he belittled right in front of me like there wasn't nothing wrong with it, just educated me on how racist people could be.  Rev Racist was born 1930 in Mississippi (I saw his liscense).  I wanted to ask him where he preaches at to see what he says then.  I bet he breeds subtle hatred though off colored remarks during his babblings.

This post is a little long in the tooth, but like I said in the Foreword you've been warned.  (sorry bout writing the N word but then again you wouldn't have gotten the jist if i didn't)
