Story of a Korean business in South Africa and a Zulu TWAT.
Sold Crank Bearings in STD size for $16 to a Zulu(Majority Tribe in South Africa).
He didnt know what to do next as he is not a mechanic. (I feel sorry for the guy).
I politely told him to take it to engineering company to check if his crank need to be cut as he didnt have a clue.
And if it did need to be cut he must bring the STD Crank bearings in the <u>same condition</u>.
He took it to engineering and comes back with the bearings that have obviously been misplaced next to a grinder
and the sparks hit 1 of the Crank bearings making ugly marks on it.
Others are good.
This Zulu comes back to me and tells me i sold him sh*t.
I told the F*cker i dont do any grinding or powertool work. How can it be me? Its just a parts warehouse.
And the bearings were sealed in plastic.
I politely told him go to the Engineering place and complain as i cant help him.
Eventually this guy he doesnt wanna leave and smells like a bag of onions(Lack of bathing).
So i sell him the Oversized one for $8(half price) and give him his initial one too.
He says "You are robbing me".
NOW THIS IS WHEN I WENT CRAZY..
SOLD HIM A 2ND SET FOR HALF PRICE AND HE SAYS IM ROBBING HIM.
IM MAKING A LOSS AND WTF IS THAT ABOUT???
Im really sick of these uneducated and arrogant poor black people...
From your guys perspective what do you think?
Is this behaviour also happening in USA???

So here's the thing about this story, you could have told the entire thing and been just as b*tchy without bringing race into it, but you went and did it anyways. Whether it's relevant to your story or not doesn't make it necessary to post.

Ask a white Nigerian expat. what they think about black people. The African experience is different for a few reasons. I imagine a Zulu would have a couple of unique ways of being irritating (ever hear a mountain-country redneck talking when they're mad? that's another regional irritant right there).
Yes we get ignoramuses in our shops here. Fortunately ( ? ) our society is equitable enough, they come in all colors.

Im no racist.
Ask a South African next time you see one.
Alot of my friends are black and i went to a majority black highschool.
I lived with a black best friend roomate during varsity.
He is cool cos he is educated...
If you are an African-American and came here you would hate them too... Would that make you racist???
Come on..
If you read some news on it and came here you would understand...
"Took a shower after knowingly having intercourse with a women with AIDS"..
WTH... Can you imagine Obama saying this?
Would he get votes???
Well here this guy is about to be president...
Why???
Because he is black and president of the ruling party.
He wants all his charges dropped(I think its like a few hundred).
Can you imagine that???

While some comments here are construed as racist to some, nothing Danee said seems racist to me, he's complaining, and that's what this forum is for.
Anyone posting in here or reading, doesn't HAVE to read this, but I'd ask that all mind their P's and Q's in here as this can get ugly really quick.
I'll add the word TWAT to the curse filter, don't know why it's not there already. Please watch
We run into the same situations here in the US, particularly where I live with Illegal Immigrants that refuse to learn English and want to try to get by. I mean I was at Checker Auto the other day and the police were there because some illegal was trying to return a used fuel pump in a box as the new fuel pump he just bought an hour earlier.
It happens all over. Next time, if the customer doesn't want to listen to reason (the customer IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!), call the police and have him escorted off the property.

Don't jump into conclusions anyone. First read or take a class on history of Africa to see that people such as danee customer do exist, and have for centuries. they will kill their own over a chicken. read what's on the news, pirates, tribal wars, economic, religious, social and agricultural instability. Doctors, peace corps, help is afraid to step foot because they will be killed. Its written in some form of journalism multiple times a day. Tribes kill one another, famine... And one fact is said and its a problem? Ever watch blood diamond? That's not even a fraction of what's really going on. Look up some documentaries, villagers randomly getting raped and murdered, burned riddled, children left for dead, drug traffic. If anyone disagrees, I'll bet you're on your nice computer on your nice warm couch and you have never taken a single flight down there in your life.
My friends are social workers and have spent months there and vow never to return. Met a rich elderly woman who flys there and helps famines children and takes care of people with aids. I have never heard of such bad things as the stories she told me, maybe hitlers fire chambers are worse because they were denied life, but I asked her what was the point of even living when you've got no shelter, food, your body is rotting and hurting from some god awful disease and there is not 1 single person to help you?
Read, research, talk to experienced social workers, then sit on your comfy warm couch, stomach full as a ballon, just don't sit there and call something racist.

Ok, first of all throwing race into the situation has nothing to do with the story...
1. Does it really matter if he smells or not, not really
2. How do you know he is uneducated? Did you go to school with him? When people get upset, sometimes they lose their mind
3. Poor Black people...I'm not going to comment cuz I will get banned

In my opinion, when you have to justify how many black people you hang out with or have incountered...your more than likely a racist, thats my opinion

As a African American that has visited Senegal, Gambia, Djibouti and has a tribe that adopted me as a son in Gambia, I don't hate them...I love my adopted African family, so making a comment here is unwarranted
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sorry if i came out racist.</div>
Me too, especially from a minority

This thread and the attitude displayed towards it by our site administration are shameful. If this were a thread about street racing it would have been locked in 5 minutes, but instead the attitude that a people anywhere are inferior because of there race (cultural differences and social status are completely other topics) is disgusting, and that's exactly what danee posted here. I'm not going to post here again, but this topic and the fact that we allow it lower us.

Well, i knew it would go this far this morning when i saw it, figuring it needs to be closed now.
I will say this and don't anyone try and tell me you have never done this. thinking of someone lower than you or yourself holier than thou because of of the opposing persons race/skin color. it happens, our society has made us that way. even if you keep it to yourself everyone still thinks it.
Even if Danee would have only said "Zulu Tribesman", it would have gone completely racial just because of the relation.
something that i do instead of posting when i have to vent in type is take out a notepad, type exactly what i feel like, look at it after i am done, then just close the notepad. i have vented, it has made me feel better, and finally i havent ruffled any feathers just because i posted my feelings.
