zorathenneNot on my mind...
Can I vent..?
You wanna know what really made my frickin day..??
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AHEAD..
Don't say I didn't warn you..
I just got back from hanging out with my mom.. Oh we had fun.. But it seemed that this had to be the day where someone had to show the rest of the world how ignorant he is..
I'm driving to the mall.. And coming off I-20 I had to get over into the next lane.. So.. while coming up to the red light, I put on my blinker since I was a few cars back and there were a few cars in the lane next to me.. I drove a bit slowly to let the cars in that lane move on ahead and as I ease my way over into the next lane I look up into my rearview mirror to see an old beat up looking green jeep cherokee (I think that's what it was) speed up from pretty far back behind me.. Well.. I'm already more than halfway in the next lane; that guy will just have to slow up so I can finish getting over. Not a problem. Well.. I guess for HIM it was a problem because he pulls up right on my butt and blares his horn. If I had really wanted to, I could have just braked even the tiniest bit, and he would have rear-ended me. But no, my mom is in the car, so I'm just gonna go on ahead and get in the turn lane to get to the store and give him no more thought..
So WHY does he pull into the lane next to me and pull up along side me and my mother and start screaming? And WHY does he feel the need to yell every racial black slur while he does it?
He decides to inform me that I'm a stupid fucking nigger and that that was HIS lane I pulled over into and that I need to learn to give white people the right of way like a proper nigger and so on and so forth.. Meanwhile his little cracker girlfri-- err I'm sorry I mean his little cracker bitc-- dammit I meant to say his little stringy haired white woman starts chirping in with a chorus of "You fucking nigger!" along with whatever else her profound intelligence (well lack of that is) could think to say about niggers..
My mom just looked straight ahead and said not to even respond.. ooooooo.... If she hadn't had said that....
So they finally pull up since the cars behind them started honking.. Well the light in the turn lane I was in turned green and as I pull up to drive past them and turn they decide to wave to me with only their middle finger (interesting white custom here in the south I guess)..
So I 'waved' back..
They cut off another car that was in the turn lane and get behind me and follow me into the parking lot and just ride my tail.. So I drive as slow as I can through the parking lot.. Well not too too slow as other cars are behind us and it wouldn't be fair to hold everyone up.. We get to near the front of the store and he swings out to pull alongside me again.. I guess he was just really in the mood to talk.. But all he did was pretty much repeat what he had yelled earlier and that I need to take my nigger ass back to where I came from (Hell I would LOVE to move back to New York if you really want to know) and his girl chirps up again with her little chorus of "Dumb nigger!"..
THIS time.. NOTHING my mom said was going to stop me.. She tried to roll the window up but my button overrode..
I put the car in park, looked at him and said..:
"I don't understand why you are calling me a nigger. I don't look ANYTHING like your mother, so I would appreciate it if you would stop calling me by her name. So if you are really trying to look for who or whatever this 'nigger' is, I suggest you go look in a mirror and check yourself. Now, run along to your little Klan meeting, boy, and let us grown-ups do what we came here to do. God loves you, and have a nice day."
Well I guess that was the password or something because they just shut up and stared at me.. (or did I say something that hurt their feelings? Should I go apologize?) I mean I've always heard them call Black men 'boy', so I thought it was the 'in' thing to call all White men 'boy' too..
But maybe I said something wrong because as I pulled away, he just turned his car around and burned rubber getting out of the parking lot..
And to think my mother grew up in the south in what I know was a much worse racial atmosphere..
But we live in a different time now.. Doesn't that man realize that if he had been back up MY way in NY and started yelling like that, he would have attracted some attention he wouldn't have wanted? Even better, if I hadn't been with my mother and instead some of my friends from back home had been with me, an ambulance would have ended up at the scene..
What is the use for hate as it is?? If you don't like me because of the color of my skin, then hell I can deal with it.. Why go out of your way to make yourself anymore uglier than you already are by acting like such an asshole about it? It's just a waste of energy.. You don't like me? Then just stay away from me. You don't have to interact with me at all if you don't want to. Believe me, you aren't going to hurt my feelings....
Whatever man.. anyway I get to have some chocolate cake and ice cream with my mommy!!
