I Faced Racial Discrimination On My Job!

First off, I am not a person who will blame everything on racial discrimination. Today, I was thinking about a time I was discriminated against by my employer.
Many years ago I used to work as an Administrative Assistant for an agency that helps poor, minority, and disenfranchised people. A lot of these people were in fact homeless.
My boss seemed like she was friendly and I thought she had a heart of gold. Her agency was very well known in the community, and she really did help clients get housing, jobs, and food.
I was given my assignments to do for the day, and I flipped the papers over, and it had racist words on the back that pertained to black people. At first, I thought that someone else in the office had done this.
Each and every time I saw these words on the back of my work assignments it really sickened me. I never said anything because I needed my job.
My boss constantly smiled at me and was kind, but I knew she had a problem with black people as a race.
I didn't stay in this job very long because I could not deal with all the discrimination I was facing.
Another employee told me that they were going through the same thing, and it is sad.
Make sure you research online the steps that it takes to lodge a discrimination lawsuit if this has happened to you. Racial discrimination has no place in the workforce!
