Well, not that it makes ya feel any better, but there are people who are miserable with their own lives and it seeps out in instances lke this...
IMHO you're lucky you overheard this because now you know they are
a lost cause...you can't win them over because it's like battling a wall,
as these people NEED to lash out at you because of some insecurity
THEY have... IMHO Sandy, time to move on and work with people who
have WORK on their mind, and not their own irrational problem venting
on their mind.

Personally, I've never thought there was any conceivable thought more absurd than judging someone by the color of their skin. Racism has always been a pet peeve of mine that goes all the way back to my childhood... As far back as I can remember, I've had friends of all races, colors and creeds. My opinions of them were and always will be based on who they are as people and what's in their hearts.

Today, for the first time in my adult life, I was outwardly discriminated against because of my skin color. Believe me, it took every ounce of self control I could muster, not to beat this person within an inch of his life. I mean, this wasn't some drunk moron calling me a _____ or a _____ at a Taco Bell... This was a professional situation in which I actually heard somebody (who didn't know I was right outside room), say; "That ______ing _______ will never show his movie here..."

Wow. Just... WOW.

I honestly don't really know what to say or do right now... Wow.
