Getting tired of being white (7/11 trip report)

That's it? Nothing after your last line? Damn, I was hoping for a full-blown "incident."

I've had similar "brushes." A lot of "whitey, crakcah, oh-preshun," etc., remarks hurled in my direction, followed by my usual, condescending-take-your-best-shot-or-STFU retorts. (I tend to get feisty when attacked.)

All of which could have been avoided had the "brushee" not been so friggin' uptight and convinced that any person not of his ethnic origin harbored anything but predjudice toward him.

Yeah, I was gonna type that but then it just looked really awkward in writing.

You should have responded "chill my nigga, we're cool, it's cool."

And elongate the pronunciation of "my."

i hvaent met any black dudes that you stereotype, except one. It was really odd, i was at a bar and there was this kid there that I thought I went to high school with, so I went up to him and asked if he was so and so from my high school, and the kid just started ranting, saying that all niggers must look alike to me, and Im racist etc, etc, I was wtfing out all over hte place, and said hey [censored] you, then went back to my group of friends (ironically 2 of the 4-5 were black) and told them what happened...very weird.

I went to 7/11 today. I had a good little Larry David moment. At the door as I was leaving, there was a black guy, 25ish, who I stereotyped as 'empowerred' (I won't go any further with the stereotype or how I arrived at it). We brushed shoulders. This was the conversation:

Me: "Excuse me brother, my bad" (brother or 'bro' is standard speech for me, regardless of race)
BG: "Don't patronize me. I ain't your brother."
Me: "Are you serious? You gotta be kidding, right?"
BG: "[insert some random pride-based speech]"
Me: "Sorry, next time I see you, would you prefer Chief, Amigo, or [censored]?"

Of all people, I am certainly not liberal hippy, but I am all for common courtesy to strangers

Watch BET comedy. That should sum it up. Nutshell: I'm not politically correct, and its getting harder to hide on a daily basis [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
