Short of it: This white guy who I just met Tuesday walked by while I was training for a new position and said 'comb your hair.' I spoke to my manager about it and it was handled. What's wrong with folk's minds?

Racism still exists. Just yesterday my white co-worker was asking why black women relax their hair and I was trying to explain that for a long time, many of us were told that our natural hair wasn't professional for the workplace. I thought this feeling was mostly gone but apparently not. This is a prime example of that.

He obviously felt he had the right to say something rude like that you. It's not like you would walk by somebody with funky BO and say "Wash your *ss" so why he thinks it's okay to speak out loud his rude and uninformed thoughts is beyond me.

i bet u spent more time on your hair that morning than he did, so maybe he needs to take his own advice and learn how to keep rude comments to himself....

I will bring the roll of quarters. Someone bring a sock. What time does he leave work? Tell him to meet LHCF behind the building.

I'm so glad you spoke to your manager and didn't let it slide. Who knows what he would have said next. :nono:

The nerve. But you handle it well. If I haven't learn anything else this week I'm beginning to learn that when comments come at you like that or when something happens that will normally make you go slam off, just say "I'm not impressed" that way you won't give into Satan's plan. I learned this from watching Joyce Meyer this week.

Just WOW!!!!.......You deserve an award for being soooo classy and not showing any emotion. You just reported this to your manager. At least it is on record for the next time he feels like making racist comments.

I, too, applaud your tact. I don't know if I could've kept my composure. I'm dying to hear what the result was of you reporting him. Have you seen him since? Could he even look at you after they spoke to him?
