THE DENIAL

The store was packed today. Attempting to push a cart around the store was not advisable. Cashiers and customers alike were overwhelmed with the long lines at the registers. Everyone was busy, and plenty of people were there to witness “racism” in action.

“I’m sorry, ma’am, your card was denied,” the cashier informed her.

“What?” the woman screamed. “They is plenty of money on that card! You racist. That’s why you won’t accept my card. Fine. Imma take my money someplace else!”
