If you follow me on insta you probs saw me talk about it but I called to place a hold on Pet and the librarian was like, “Pet?” and I was like, “Yeah as in P E T,” and she goes, “Okay and that’s by...Akw-uh-whatever that name is,” and I............

I paused for a second and then was like, “Whatever that name is???????????” and she went on to say, “You know I can’t pronounce that,” and I responded, “Girl you could try...just put it on hold thanks.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😤" title="Triumphierendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Triumphierendes Gesicht">

And it’s the fact that she put ZERO effort into the pronunciation that pissed me off so bad. You don’t treat someone’s name like that. Y’all can say Michelangelo and Tchaikovsky and Giacometti but can’t put some 2 seconds into attempting to say a Nigerian one? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

It stems from such a deep rooted lack of respect for blackness of all kinds. Everything about dark skin is too complicated.

I don’t know it just really made me angry.

Anyway I can’t wait until their antiquated as hell system updates so I can do everything online and only interact with them to grab my https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💩" title="Dreckshaufen" aria-label="Emoji: Dreckshaufen"> and go. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">
