TV Shopping Racism
The sales rep at a large electronics store was showing me around the television department and explaining the features of each. I wasn't really listening because I usually don't listen to sales reps, and just go with whatever product is the most pretty.
I also had a crazy amount of A.D.D. going on. An electronics store is not a good place for A.D.D. There is a lot of TVs, and music, and lights, and brights, and shiny things.
So, anywhat. While I was in my dream like state to find the prettiest television, one thing the rep said did get through to me...
"The blacks are blacker."
I thought to myself, "I wonder when he stopped talking about TVs, and started talking about Africa?"
After a few moments I realized he was still talking about TV, and that the higher quality televisions make the black colors, well... more black.
What kind of affirmative action is this?
I jokingly asked him to take me to the non-racist televisions. The televisions that choose to make all colors better, not just the blacks. I then commented on how televisions making only the blacks blacker is OK, but if there were televisions that made only the whites whiter, there would be problems. And, they better not stock those white televisions, unless they want Jesse Jackson up their assbutts.
Well, needless to say I was unable to buy a new TV because I was escorted by security out of the store, after my rant. It probably didn't help that the sales rep was black. Or, and most likely, I did not buy a new TV because I made all of this up.
Done
