we used to close the office, now get a floater (which is far better)

I have to work today.
BTW, the white people in the south call this Robert E. Lee day.
Just an FYI.

Blatant display of white power by the boss.

Office closed, not racist.
-
I have heard this before:
"It;s 'yoube webe day.' You be black, we be off. Hurrr de hurrr hurr!"
This makes me think I might be racist, or why would somebody say that to me if they didn't think I was racist? Maybe racist white people think all other white people are racist, too? :dunno:
Also, I am at work today.
-
When I worked in construction and was the only non-racist, we still got the day off (paid).
-
I think I got the day off to compensate for my employer being racist.
-
Well I'm at work but still don't really have a job so I'm here but I'm going to leave and go places like pretty much all day.
-
I usually get a floater for holidays and I don't think I get one for today. That sucks. Floaters have allowed me to take a lot of vacations so far without touching the paid time off

seriosuly? Dean must have been the only one...
Most of my jobsites are closed today, but I'm working.

Closed, not racist.

I currently set my own hours as a grad student. At work, but BBSing. Am I racist? :ohno:

Seems like a non-violent protest of work.

So that's a good (not-racist) thing, right?

Mods we seem to have a bit of confusion that I think I can help with. Can we please change the name of this thread to "KKK decides if your workplace is racist"
TIA
-
Quite the pickle you got there 8mp.
-
I have the day off, but only because my company made everyone take two vacation days around the holidays to help us hit our numbers. Big time racists.
-
We were closed today but office is still full of racists. One guy reminded another on Friday that we were off. He said it was the one good think MLK. Then he went on a rant about how MLK had a mistress so he was a obviously a scumbag.
-
yeah, the company itself isnt racist, but at least 90% of my coworkers are uncomfortably racist.

Your company is synergistically a racist piece of crap

My high school had class on MLK day growing up. Then the first year we have a black student at school we got the day off.

Good god, where did you go to school? Mississippi 1928?

Rock Creek :)
It was built in 1990. So two schools that they combined to form RC, I'm sure had black students before. Just that during my time there from 1996 to 2002, we never had a black student.

:surprised:
Are you sure you aren't color blind or extremely racially evolved or something? I mean in this time frame, in this country, is this even possible?
Is Rock Creek the name of your Mormon compound and you were home schooled with the other Mormon true believers' kids?
-
Hahahah, I dunno man. It's just 15 miles away from Manhattan.
-
Not kidding, my mind is blown.
How many kids in your class? Like, less than 4?
-
My high school was never off for MLK Day because we "didn't have enough black students". I always thought that was incredibly racist. I mean LOL at segregating MLK Day.
-

52 in my class. Sister graduated 5 years later and there were close to 80 in her class.

There are plenty of racist communities in Kansas where black people just choose not to dwell. I would wager that in just about every one of them, the post office is the only place of business closed on MLK Day.
-
there was a massive student walkout in protest the year before i got to my high school, so the next year (when i got there) we had it off.
and CNS, i could completely see even a majority of kansas high schools not having any black students for 10 year stretches.
-
There was no black people in my hometown or school growing up. I'm not sure there are now. My graduating class had 16 kids in it.

this is crazy to me.
My NE KS mind has obvs not wrapped itself around how truly white ks is.
I mean, who knew that the closest many of you have ever been to a minority, growing up, was the ginger in your math class?

i went to a school in NE KS with 250 in my class and 1000 in the school. we had 2 black kids and they were brothers.
kansas is rough ridin' white man.

Texas has Confederate Heroes Day on Jan 19 that some workplaces (mostly government) close for. Not sure how the date was chosen but always seemed awkwardly close to MLK. Glad I don't live in racist Texas anymore.

Same here 80 something classmates and never a black student in the high school and none in the grade schools to my knowledge. Now that I think about it there hasn't been a black student for a couple decades. Oh well I am (just barely) Sesame Street generation so I love everyone. :)

Darting and Brown used to go off about that, because those "kids" just wanted the day off to have the day off..

I feel the same way about Thanksgiving. Just a bunch of freeloading punk kids getting together to get the day off.

Awkwardly close? Correct me if I'm wrong but that could potentially be on MLK Jr day since MLK day is always on the third Monday in January...

Yes.
I've been in Texas for 15 years and while I've heard of Confederate Heroes Day I don't recall any type of actual celebration or recognition of it.
