"The Job"

I will start off by saying I will not name the place where I am employed. I have been working at my previous job for two years in April. Why have I been there that long, I don't know probably for the money, which isn't that great? I have no idea how I got hired, because I am black, maybe I got hired because I am a female and very classy. We have been talking about the ism's in class and my experience working there I have noticed two, sexism and racism. When I first started everything was going well, they treated me with respect, but as soon as they really got to know me, that's when the racism and sexism started. They began to pick at the way I talked and use the saying " you people", ummm I wonder what they meant? I gave an application to a young African American male who came into the store one day and was that a mistake. My manager approached me afterwards saying people who come into the store looking like that shouldn't get an application. He was talking about "Black" people. Like I said earlier I have been working there for two years in April and since I have been there two black females have quit and none has been hired and when I say none I mean NO African American male or female. I also have noticed if you have a pretty face and a nice body you are working there the next day, isn't that something. My mom hates that I had to go through something so horrible, but I never thought racism and sexism was so bad until I experienced it myself. I hope no one else have to go through anything similar to what happened to me. What I just blogged about isn't half of it...
