The story, My Name is Margaret is basically about an African-American server who felt mortified and disrespected. The “owner” Mrs. Cullinan and her friend were at fault and Margaret was trying to find ways to get fired so she would never have to see them again.
Margaret wasn’t wrong for what she did to Mrs. Cullinen’s favorite dishes. Personally, I would’ve done the same thing. Mrs. Cullinen was calling Margaret out of her name. Calling her “Mary”.. A racist white lady called her that and disrespected her by calling her dumb and slow. So for Mrs. Cullinen’s convenience she’s just going to change her name because her racist friend says so? She basically took away her identity. So for revenge she took away her favorite dish. I bet that didn’t feel quite pleasant. The time I refused to obey an authority figure was just recently actually. My boyfriend, my mom and I were driving to the outlets in Rehobeth beach, Delaware. We were cruising and all of a sudden we hear and see sirens. It was a police officer. Now, the right thing to do when you hear or see sirens is pull over to the side of the road so they can smoothly get by to get where they’re going. We pulled over and what do you know the cops were after us. Now, my car that my boyfriend was driving isn’t the most innocent looking car around. I have dark tinted windows, black tires it just looks like what one would describe “ghetto”. So he pulls us over and asks for the usual license, registration. We wait about 20 minutes. He comes back and says “it smells fruity in this vehicle.” “has anyone been smoking?” we kindly tell him no. he walks away and about 5 mins later he says “may we search your vehicle?” and I tell him absolutely not. We do not smoke for god sake I have my mother in the car… so we argue back and forth and now we have ticket for “speeding” when my boyfriend drives like a grandpa. That is my story of when I refused to obey an authority figure.

I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been to pulled over for simply driving. I'm sorry you were pulled over (possibly... probably) solely because of the car you were driving. I hope you may have gotten the ticket revoked or something like that. Thanks for sharing!!
