The Sexist-Racist Record Store Owner

So back in 2015, I was deep in the Bernie Sanders campaign. My husband and I traveled to 2 other states and across our own to do canvassing, loan tools, and anything else we could do to support.

Eventually the a DNC representative told us to go help a local candidate who was running for county commissioner and we were thrilled.

So we go meet up with the man at his record store. Let's call him Mo. So Mo refused to address me or talk to me at all and only spoke to my husband. Even when my husband tried to include me, Mo would stand in a way to never face or say anything in response to me.

So my husband went to distance himself so I could talk to the man more (my particular skill set is political strategy and I needed to know more about this man's background, goals, and objectives). Well he walked over to my husband instead to talk about music. Cool, whatever I guess. My husband asks Mo where Rick James is since he's a rockstar and not in any of the rock albums area.

This is where shit got cringed out. Mo proceeds to laugh and says black people can't be rock stars. Me: ....black people created rock..ya know Chuck Berry, Little Richard, ect. Mo laughed and said that's like why they called things WHITE collar crimes, cus it's something only white people do

Anyway now my face is red from embarassment for wanting to help such a casually sexist and racist guy. My husand basically went into some how dare yous and we walked back home

Can't stand this local business owner to this day. Also he scammed our local Democratic party over some t shirts with Elizabeth Warren on them (took payment, never produced the product)
