saw some bigotry today

My wife and I were leaving the bank today, a black woman is entering the building and a white woman is exiting ahead of us.

The black woman goes to open one of the double doors for the white lady, the white lady clearly acknowledged it, sneered and then opened the other door for herself.

The black lady had an expression of, "seriously? I'm being courteous wtf" and my wife and I were just appalled.

The white lady in front us then attempted to hold the door open for us, but since we were kind of put off by her behavior, we took too long and she let the door slam on us.

Gee fuckin' whiz. Bigots please get with the times.

Bigots can't get with the times.......If they did do that, they wouldn't be bigots.

What a sad situation.

There was an asshole at the gym today with a tshirt that said indict hillary on one side and politically corect my ass on the back.

I feel I shouldn't have to tolerate that since I paid for my membership. It's not really a public space.
