but that IS the way it is
I think it’s fair to say that in America (even in 2013) minorities are NOT treated equally to Caucasians…That stinks…but there are (IMO) some situations where minorities are treated better…the “jerk” at the arts and crafts store is still there because 1) often, as soon as an employer fires a minority employee, they start hollering “DISCRIMINATION“–and controversy/bad press is bad for business…and 2) *I* think the Manager (and perhaps his assistant) is burned out and doesn’t give a fuck…so they got rid of me and kept him, not knowing that he doesn’t give a f**k either…except he wants the money–we have THAT in common…
I have a gig tonight, moderately excited about that…As of last night I was given permission to use the roomie’s car to get there and back…Parking in that neighborhood is a problem, but a minor one…And there’s the gig on Saturday, THAT’S gonna be innaresting, to say the least…there’s money in my pocket AND in the Bank…Life is Good…
