It sucks indeed ! My last poa called mr golden digger , that's for reputation ..when he was angry , I am deeply traumatised by that. I felt like home when I came to slaa... Till that nasty comment .. Sometimtes I want to share that in the meeting just say it out load!!!
But I am scared of rejection .. But maybe I need to speak up , that's why my thoughts ( HP) been about that. There is nice and welcoming ppl out there, and there is plenty of racist ..
First I experienced that coming to uk.
Not only that , some nationalities use us (EU) like cheap work power.. To this day I am still used at work ...
I openned my mouth to employers sister , and I speak up of not fair treatment ,, atmosphere changed from employee ... He knows. Good. User .
I have to stand up for myself , no one else will.
I haven't been paid when I was sick too, it means they simply don't give nuts about staff,,
They can give me less working hours but not pay for that,.. I have to pay my childminder , and book her for more days ...
I sometimes really hate being used.I was always a fighter !my lunch brake was mine. And still fight for fair treatment ..
Not sure what to do next .
3 jobs I changed in 5 years . One of them was temprorary .. That doesn't sound that I am committed person.
I can also feel that someone being rasist stops me from enganging and outreaching , isolation...
HURTS!!!

When I said it ,that's person said oh that good you are not from ... Only a months later it hit me! I don't belong here, .. In this county .. Home sweet home In College, I studied the history xenophobia in this country. I knew of prejudice, but not institutional racism. Laws and such versus custom. In 1969 I applied for a job and was told to come back when I had lost weight. Weight charts are against the law now. But later when I et black people at college I identified with there experience of discrimination. Long story short, I joined a civil rights organization, married a black men and had two interracial children. Raising my children has taught me what real racism is. I may write about it some day. All I want to say about it now is that "Black lives do matter." I tell you this this so you know that while I cannot compare my experience to yours [my son reminds me that I can lose the weight and he cannot lose his color] I do know what rejection feels like. It destroys your self-esteem. So surround yourself with people who love you. This board for instance. Namaste. |

Great reply!
Today once again someone was so rude .. It really shocked me. I wanted to scream, but hey I am at school . Felt so much more isolated ! I don't matter !
It really saddens me a lot , we have so much : technology, medicine, books, knowledge , education and still we find something that makes us different! That's discusting!
God knows how I find my way back to feel like home here, it's been 11 years... I want to cry for ppl who are mistreated , I had been living around loads of nationalities : no one better than the other!
I have friends from all origins I like different cultures, I learn from them.
I have to find the strength to be me! To say it out load , because suffer in silence hurts .

We are all equal waterlili, racism is ignorance, fear of differences and a desperate need to feel superior over someone else so they need to belittle people to make themselves feel good.

I loved what your wrote paisley .
I think I just have to accept that people won't change, and it only will get worse.
I have thought of moving , but that's not going to happen . Unless I go back to my own country . My kids birth place is here, and they happy here. I would hardly survive there..
