Another car sales story with blatant
racial overtones. Alert the (P)regressives.
While working an offsite sale with
several dealerships involved, a coworker, Karl, called me over. Seems I was the
only white boy among the four salesmen by the entrance.
Karl, a black man, had a black customer.
The customer wanted to test drive a pickup.
“No problem”, said Karl. “Let me make a copy of your driver’s license”.
“Is that some kind of ‘back thing’, that you need my license?”, asked
the customer. Karl looked at him, then looked at his own forearm, then back to
the customer.
“Yeah, I know you are black”, said the customer. “I still think it is a
black thing”.
“Hey Tank, can you come over here?” Karl called out to me. When I
slithered over ( what do you expect from a car salesman) Karl said,
“This guy thinks making a copy of his drivers
license is some sort of a black thing”.
“No, it is a policy”, I said to the customer.
“However, if you want to make it a black thing, let us do a credit app first”.
The customer looks around and sees all
the black salesmen cracking up.
Give him credit.
“Am I being silly”, he asked? When I answered affirmatively, he produced
his license, Karl made a copy, and they went off on the test drive.
Had to take a few minutes teasing from
the black salesmen. As I recall one comment was,
“Man, you put the R into redneck”.
Kind of a point here. In those days a lot
of teasing went on. It helped make a bond, us against the world. Today’s
politically correct climate doesn’t allow people of different colors and
backgrounds to get to know one another. Our country is poorer because of
political correctness.

The only people 'willing' to cross those lines are ex and current military. WE know different, and that we are all the same, regardless of skin color...
Truth.
Medical people too...everyone bleeds red regardless of what the outside skin color is.
Thank you for the comment. Haven't heard from you in quite awhile.
Now if we can only get them to show an ID when they vote. Any color. I had to shake my head and mumble a few cuss words when I read that the GA NAACP had a meeting to discuss strategies to fight Voter ID. But they had to show ID to get into the meeting. Liberals! We need them just for the comic relief.
Liberals aren't concerned with anything but their "message".
LOL. Only you dare trod where no other.
Never claimed to be smart.
LOL. Oh, but you are...just sneaky and a slight bit shady. But that's why I love you so.
