Hall of Famer
i had my latest "inter-racial experience" this afternoon, and i thought i'd post it and see what some of you guys thought, or what you've experienced in your own daily grind.
as i was pulling into a local community college to use their high-speed internet, one of the black "students" was walking down the middle of the drive with some of his homies. he seemed surprised when i didn't slow down to keep from hitting him with my car! ha! i just looked at him as i drove past a few feet then parked.
he came walking up flailing his arms and flapping his gums, you know the usual ass-of-himself type stuff. he walked right up to my door yelling. i kept looking at him, opened the door, got out, and simply looked at him with a smile on my face. ha! he nearly shiat himself! he started backing up at a near run, still talking about "what he was gonna do." i laughed out loud and said "i'm standing right here. do your thing." he was stunned speechless and kept backing up. finally, his "posse" showed up and started egging him on again. so he came back up running his mouth some more as i was walking off. i calmly sat my personal belongings down, and started walking toward him, smiling. i said, "let's do this then."
hahahaha his "woman" jumped in and acted like she was holding him back, and she started telling me to just walk away. i don't know if i've ever seen human eyes any bigger than theirs! ha! even his posse shut up.
when i left the computer lab, i looked my car over to see if that clown had done anything to it, and then i asked an old white guy who had watched the precedings if he had. he responded, "no. i've been watching it. i reckon he about talked himself into an ass whooping by overloading that big mouth of his. 'cause i don't think you acted like he thought you would."
and that's my point here. i'm no super hero or bad hombre or anything. i'm just a small white dude who doesn't take crap from black boys. i've been in lots of scrapes with 'em over the years playing hoops (my sport of choice despite being short and white), and they ALL freak out when a white dude doesn't back up! their whole world view falls apart!
why are so many white people reluctant to stand up for themselves? what are they scared of? a butt whipping? jeez! too many of us are as soft as a fat guy's stomach.
holler back with your own stories and thoughts.
