[...] — At the Wren’s Nest, there was a similar WTF? moment when a staffer of color began to lead a tour and a white person on that tour had a question and then a comment that has to be read to be believed. Let’s at least hope the tourist was from lower Alabama. [...]

I am sorry our Jeri had to put up with that BS.

Thanks Jeri for being your usual gracious self.
Maybe wih more encounters with lovely people like Jeri they will realize what jerks they are.

Probably not.
Kill ‘em with kindness .

She should have said, “You’re right – the only ones who ’stay’ here are the GHOSTS OF WHITE PEOPLE!” and then locked him in the basement. This is what I would have done. In my mind, afterwards.

I thought all racists had at least been taught how to be politically correct by now- sheesh! At least they are a dying breed, right?
