Digital Blackface? WTF!

[Nazgul]

I guess I’m lucky, where I work, we call each other horrible names, give one finger salutes constantly, and get lots of work done and out the door, and nobody has a problem with it.

I understand the camaraderie that comes with this behavior. Just a warning, it only takes one person to destroy the team. One of the best men I worked with was accused and left the company even though he never engaged in the verbal horse play. He was our Operations Manager, a position that requires experience and an ability to handle people which he exemplified with caring and compassion. It only took one crazy bitch of a woman who was looking for an excuse to cause trouble to get him fired. This was because he was the person who took responsibility for his team's actions.

My $.02.

She looks Asian to me in that pic. So I'll identifiy her as Asian.

One person + vendetta= trouble. That's why I never talked to anybody.

Cracks me up every time. It's that guilty look.

My employer has an internal messaging system probably no different than most. Teams, Slack and Jabber are some of the most common.

I like GIFS. Maybe you call them memes. I enjoy sending them in messages. I just learned something new today that may change that.

Supposedly, if I send one with a pic of a person on it who is of a race not my own, I may be called to the main office and labeled insensitive or possibly even a racist. WTF!

I thought the person telling me was sh#t’n with me! So I looked it up. It’s real! When did that happen? I guess I can’t send Buckwheat memes anymore! I love Buckwheat memes!
