you are too white, too black, too fat, too disabled, overqualified. have you had such an experience? i have. lots of times. why are people so shallow? i am on the verge of applying for a dissability grant because what should i do for money if people dont want to consider me for a job.

A few years ago when I was dating a Black Guy, I was treated like sh*t by the white guys, called all the names under the sun " Sl*t, Who*e, Nigg*r Lover etc", virtually every Black guy tried to pick me up, But the Black Women were the biggest bitc*'s going as though it was my fault that Black guys are screwing White Women and not Black, emotional discrimination and Bullying is worse.

Would you believe that I did not get a job because I was overqualified? And I suppose my hair turns frizzy when it rains might have had something to do with it, but I needed that job. I had a high school education and took a six months business course, but I also had an iq of 140 to 145, and I would have been willing to work, and did they think I was going to oust the chief secretary in one day? I mean I expect being not allow to get the job because I was disabled or of a darker color (after all this was in the 1960s.) and I certainly was not fat.
Oh by the way, I had brown hair with an auburn undertone and I am medium short. Maybe it was because I was not tall or blondeenough then.
