I got the black teacher...

^ that's Not Raciest! ^

Really!

I had that conversation awhile back. I was still going to school at OSU-Tulsa, and on the car ride back me and the people i carpooled with were talking about people in our class. Well i was taking about this girl and they were like "which one is that one?" and i was like "the black chick". Well the driver had a problem with me saying "the black chick". Though he's white as snow, he was offended by my usage of 'black' when describing someone; not even black people are offended by that (not that i know of). It just turned out that she was the only black chick in the whole fucking class. But he went on and on about how it was wrong. I told him he was basically stupid, it was an easily identifiable trait that was unique to her in that class.

Then he said, "i don't see color when i look at people". Me and the othe guy laughed and said that he was a raciest, because only closeted raciest would say such a thing. I'm sorry, but Malcolm X: Black; Rosa Parks: Black; Chris Rock: Black; Will Smith: White.

So we gave him a scenario, which is exactly as the classroom: If there were a group of girls, all the same height, all have dark hair, wore the same outfit, same shoes, same everything, except one was black, what would be the easiest/Fastest way to ID the Black Chick. He shut up.

Anyways, the importance of 'he's black' is that i was told the Asian trainer was fun... he's not Asian... He's not bad, i was expecting much worse. I think i would have liked him better if he was a female. Because cocky (not my words, a classmates) females rock.

Well day one under my belt, and a lil cash waiting to be had. I have tons of paperwork i need to look at, about benefits and other things. I have a new badge so i can go in and out of the building. I got to play with D.O.R.I.S. which is a program (a intranet webpage) there for Help.

On break i got into the Training Ver. of D.O.R.I.S. and looked at a couple things. Guess what! LOGO, the gay TV station, info in D.O.R.I.S. has guidelines when dealing with people complaining that there is a Gay station on TV.

But most of the class was simple. It reminds me of High school (or non-tech related early collage) in that all of the characters are there! There is the Uber-nerd that can't seem to be quiet. And the Girl that sits next to you, and has no idea how to use a computer. Also the old guy that knows less then the girl next to you. Then there is the guy that knows what's going on more then you do. Which sucks.

But i did get a complement by the Angry (read: Misunderstood [read: i'm going to hell {read: better off being a female <read: An ok guy, so far>}]) black man; he said that i was 'going to do good on the phones'; 'real good'. because we had to introduce everyone (Yea, like you did in HS or Collage or even Gradeschool.). I had to 'interview' my neighbor then tell the class about her... So i guess i 'speak so well' [now it sounds like i'm black ;) {if you don't get it, STUF}] Then the Uber-Nerd said that he was 'going to like me' when he heard my Background Info given by my Neighbor. It was my Fav Movie and who i would eat with (dead or alive) answers that got him all hyped up; BTW, "Night of the Living Dead" and Trent Reznor.

Anywho, that's about it.
