Yesterday, November 6th was voting day in the US. It was the mid-term elections. For the first time I was feeling very proud to have
exercised the right to vote and proudly wore my sticker like It was a badge of honor. After voting, I decided to make a quick stop at the closest African store as I had prepared this indomie noodles meal in my head all day (I watch a lot food prep clips on
Instagram). I needed to make this meal a reality hence the quick stop.
When It was time to pay, the following conversation ensued between the cashier and I:
Cashier: So you voted?
Me: I sure did (with a big grin on my face)
Cashier: You voted for democrats, why are you a democrat?
Me: Excuse me (very confused at this point)
Cashier: All you Africans just say you are democrats; you don’t know why you are democrat.
Me: (Can I just say here that at this time, I could hear my heart beating faster, my ears ringing and my chest burning!) I am not an ignorant voter,
I am informed. I f you understand why we need a shift in power in congress then you probably wouldn’t make such an ignorant statement; unfortunately, I have kids to pick up and can’t stay to chat.
Cashier: (With a silly smirk on his face as if he was sent to torment me…”get thee behind me”) We republicans, we republicans
Obviously at this point I walked off. As a drove off and processed the foolishness, I was really tempted to go back. I mean this guy does not know
jack about me! He made an assumption or stereotyped me. “You Africans all say you are democrats.” (Dude is African too, Ghanaian). Then he insulted me by saying you don’t know why you are a democrat. I mean, not to blow my own horn but I do have a background
in political science and public administration. Unlike Nigeria where you just select a degree so that you can gain admission, I was very intentional about what I studied.
To make matters worse, I doubt this guy went out to vote or was planning to as there was only 30 minutes left at the polls at this time.
People really do need to watch their mouth.
