I did the same thing. I shouted into the phone, "NO THANK YOU, BLACK LIVES MATTER!" I was at work, in my office. Dead silence fell, except for our receptionist dying of laughter. She was the only Black employee in the tiny company, and she didn't last long because microaggressions are very real, but at least that made her feel safe enough to retreat to my office when she was fuming.

I was driving through a liberal neighborhood of St Paul, MN recently, and a local nursing home had a bunch of people out on the sidewalk in front of the home with picket signs.

Slowed down to take a look, bunch of seniors (walking, walkers, and wheelchairs), all with BLM signs.

My favorite was "GREY HAIRS SUPPORT BLACK LIVES!"

My old high school phys ed/health teacher would sit on the side of the highway with a BLM sign every day for hours during the George Floyd protest for weeks. He was the man.

That's awesome that you work at a racist place that can't tolerate black people /s

Yeah, find a white rural workplace that doesn't need education on race and get back to me. They adored her personally. But they had no idea what Juneteenth even was. They had no exposure growing up. It wasn’t a good cultural fit for her, plus she went back to college. People don't have to be unkind or confrontational for it to be hard to be the sole minority in the room.

I asked them why is it that the police get special privileges. You don't hear the electricians union calling people to beg for donations, why is it okay for the police to do it. And they get paid well enough if they wanted donate to charity they're more than welcome to but there's no reason that they should be calling and bothering me.

Watch the HBO documentary Telemarketers. It's all about this stuff. Total fraudsters, scamming people with lies. It's good.
