TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I've been observing this in the downtown area. I thought I was making shit up because I see this shit everywhere. But no. It's a thing. Fucking hell. It's everywhere.

That's the thing, too, is that when you see this shit, and you don't have anything to back you up except anecdotes from other people who see it, it's so easy to dismiss it because it sounds crazy or paranoid.

"No, really, black people have a harder time crossing the street because people won't stop for them!"

"Seriously though, people of color don't get waited on as fast and get worse service."

"I'm not kidding, brown-skinned folks get skipped over in line, like, a lot. I swear."

When I worked in a deli, my co-workers would skip POC rather frequently, claiming to not understand them, or not like 'dirty' people. And got away with it. Our department ass. man. was Hispanic and our department manager was black. But the store manager and assistant store manager were both white. It drove my manager insane being made complicit in this bullshit but he felt he couldn't stand up because the store manager was a holy roller and yeah.

I have so many fucked up anecdotes about Georgia but they're all such subtle things that when I say them out loud to someone, it sounds ridiculous.

It is shit that this happens and I correct it where I can. It boggles my god damn mind.

Say it to the right person and they'll do research to back you up.

Say it to the wrong person, and they'll have you fired. It's a bit of a quandary.

Yep.
