Met a very interesting African American male today. I quickly found out that he disliked white people to an extreme, and alcohol gave him more courage then he ought to be allowed. He started with the racial slurs, and blaming whitey stuff after I politely said "excuse me" as I reached for something on the bottom shelf of the grocery store. (Thats where we met). Out of no where he starts with the whole "Damn white people think they own the world", and from there it was a downward spiral. For some reason, I found it to be very entertaining and had to refrain from laughing as he went off on me.

1. Black history month falls on February which only has 28 days. Apparently this is somehow my fault, as well as the fault of every other white American

2. Slavery. Apparently my white family was responsible for owning slaves even though we had never left our home land of Croatia until the 1980s

3. Affirmative action. (Couldn't really understand what his argument was with AA, but he sure did mention it a few times.


You'd expect this to come out of a demented or senile elderly man who isn't in his right mind, but the guy who went off on me was about 30ish tops. He wasn't a physical threat to me at all, it was just a verbal attack. The guy was tiny and posed very little danger. I doubt he could even pull the 5lb trigger on a glock.

One of my friends was with me but was standing about 10 feet away, he was dying out laughter... On the way back in the car, I swear my friend must have lost a good 7lbs from laughing so damn hard. It was quite the moment. I wish I had my video camera on hand (Flip camera, thing is TINY and good quality)

 

Sorry about that Daniel, I had one too many bottles of ripple in the liquor aisle.

 

wait... a glock has a 5 pound trigger??????

 

5.5

 

pouwnd!

 

You know, back in the day I probably would have gotten really mad and this would have been bothering me... I dont know if age has caught up with me or what, but I find this all really amusing... I still chuckle when I think about some of the things he said... I'm amazed that someone so damn stupid could exist in the world.

 

fight the power!

 

so uhh, this all happened randomly to you at a grocery store?
in San Jose?
Really?
.

 

I'd have probaly said "excuse me President!"

 

Emeryville, which probably explains a lot

 

Lawl! Such stupidity from some foolios Main thing is it did not turn ugly and you are able to laugh it off now. Like whoa! I swear ever since NObama took office there has been more of a reverse Racism thing going on. Could be me but others I know have said the same thing. I got an e-mail from a friend from New Orleans stating that this one Construction Company will not be hiring any Whites PERIOD! Ouch! K, enough of that from me before I get me mutt butt kicked or banned

haha, that explains it. trust me, the closer you get to SF, the more crazys you run into. Saw a guy walking in front of a shop I was working at today standing on the corner going about a 20 min tirade about Jews. I was thinking, "uh, this is San Francisco, how man Jews have you actually met here? Ive met like 3 over 3 years, and thats hardly enough to make any kind of conspiracy" lol

 

reverse racism..
awesome

 

no such thing as "reverse racism"
Just racism.
Remember what Chris Rock said.
The most racist person out there is an old black man.

 

Only black people are allowed to laugh at that joke!

Racist!

On a serious note, the term "race" is has no validity. Humans are all one species... yay anthropology.
