She owed three months back rent. She left the apartment extremely clean but still owed the back rent. The boyfriend was about 25, black and very aggressive. He was yelling and demanding that she get her "cleaning" deposit back. I was trying to explain that the deposit was a "security" deposit. He started to threaten me, reached across my desk and started poking me in my chest. I asked him to step back, lower his voice and stop using foul language. He continued shouting, swearing and threatening me so I asked him to leave. He continued, so I picked up the phone and told him I was going to call the police if he didn't stop. He then screamed at me, "If I was a white man, you wouldn't treat me like this!" I realized he was right. I would have thrown a white man out much earlier. <br /><br />I realized then that I was guilty of a reverse racism. The woman in your report is a sad, sad example but sometimes I think we can all use a wake up call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-20356926597063823612015-11-03T14:56:09.912-05:002015-11-03T14:56:09.912-05:00I really like the way you put that--"it's...I really like the way you put that--"it's what you do when you see the color that defines you." I think you've hit it perfectly on the nose there.
