BTW, the white people in the south call this Robert E. Lee day.

Just an FYI.

Blatant display of white power by the boss.

I've heard some gross racists call it James Earl Ray appreciation day. Just disgusting.

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?

Also, I am at work today.

When I worked in construction and was the only non-racist, we still got the day off (paid).

puniraptor · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2013, 10:11:49 AM »

I think I got the day off to compensate for my employer being racist.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2013, 10:17:16 AM »

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

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

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

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.
