Today, at work, my coworker's belongings went missing. Infuriated, she accused me of stealing, because I'm black and "stereotypes don't just make themselves." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was accused of being a "racist whore" at work. I'd only asked a man if he needed help finding anything, as that is part of my job. FML
Today, my boss sent me home from work because she saw me not checking under my customer's cart to see if they had any hidden groceries. I didn't check because the customer threatened to "kick my ass" if I "accused him of stealing" by checking. FML
Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML
Today, my sister got me in deep trouble at the store I worked security for. She "dropped by to say hi" and stole a bunch of things when I wasn't looking. I wasn't arrested, due to lack of any evidence. But my boss didn't care about evidence and fired me anyway. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Today, I arrived at work, only to be arrested and accused of stealing over $8000 from my job. Five hours later at the police station, the discovery was made that the actual thief had an employee ID one digit different than mine. He works at another location over 1200 miles away. FML
Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML
Today, I got a talking-to at work from my new manager for eating other peoples' lunches. Immediately afterwards, I watched my manager leave the room, take MY lunch, and begin eating it. Apparently my new manager is the thief, and I'm now the office pariah who gets the blame. Nobody believes me. FML
Today, my coworker and I were swamped with coffee orders. I told him I would "take care of the blacks", and a customer who only heard that sentence screamed at me for several minutes about racism. FML
Today, while I was home sick from work, my neighbor got packages delivered. Our apartments have had a lot of thefts lately so, being neighborly, I brought her stuff inside to wait. When she came home, I gave them right to her. Instead of thanking me, she told the office that I was the thief all along. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"Correct, stereotypes don't just make themselves. Racist assholes like you do." Then walk away.

You could easily get her fired for it. So easy. On the otherhand, it would be exactly like firing a black chick for talking bad about white co-workers. Imagine the shitstorm that would come from that on.

OP should totally get that person fired. We are supposed to work in racial hate-free zones. That's the law. If OP's coworker wants to be racist, then she can be racist in the privacy of her own home. At work, you gotta put a lid on it. OP is going to work and she basically was called a thief because she's Black ? **** that. I wouldn't put up with it.

Well she has a point, considering that the stereotype of people from Alabama is that they're stupid. (But on a serious note, just...woah. What the hell?).

Well she deserved it.

FFS!!!!! Don't even engage with a person like that. Document it and escalate to HR immediately. The urge to punch that bitch in the face is strong I'm sure (I'm sitting several states away and this FML infuriates me so much, I want to punch a wall) but if you stay calm and follow through with HR , that person will probably be out of your life at the end of the week. Good luck OP. please let us know what happened! Nobody needs to put up with crap like that !!!

How could anyone vote this down??? How is it your own fault for being black???

You must be new here. Sometimes fingers slip and hit the ydi button on accident, and sometimes people are complete trolls that find any little detail to claim that it's a ydi.

Also, some people do it to collect the trophies unfortunately

Wow what an awful bitch. I don't know what to say but that definitely is grounds for an official complaint. I bet it's one of those useless but very opiniated harpy types.
