So I go to my newphew’s friends house to watch the games and hang out. He is 24 and just out of college as are his friends. Im 33 and many years out of college. Now I understand that most college kids are liberal and idealistic. It takes years in the “real” world to be come cynical and disillusioned 
But knowing that, I expect to hear things from college aged kids that I wouldnt hear from people my own age. Now having said all that…
What? And learn to use the key above the question mark and the shift key.
This one -> ’
Okay, well that was strange! Not sure why it posted before I was done. Anyhow…
Im trying to watch the Philly/Panthers game and some black guy behind me was making an argument that “football is the new white man’s chain to the black man”. About how “whitey” watches football to see black men get hurt and dance to the white coaches song…etc.
Well naturally I assume he is kidding, as his 10min diatribe was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. So I laugh and said something like “well for 6million a year being a slave has gotten better”. Now was that PC? No, probably not, but I thought it was funny, as did others around me.
But then this dumbass starts in on me, about how I dont know what its like to struggle. How the white man gets everything handed to him, and all doors are open. How mommy and daddy bought me everything, and life in the suburbs was nothing compared to the city…blah…blah…blah.
So I told him he didnt know shit about me, and whos judging who here based on skin color. He called me inbred, I called him a racist etc… Then fun part was when he wanted to “take it outside”. I laughed and said dont believe the myths, white guys arent scared of black guys, and I said lets go. I went outside, but the house owner broke it all up and the guy ended up leaving.
I really thought the thing humorus for the most part. I was probably being a dick so it wasnt all his fault. But you know what really PISSED me off was the assumption that because im white, I was privileged somehow. I doubt that guy reads this board, but let me clarify something;
My parents divorced at age 4, mom left all the kids at age5. I went from home to home till I was 11. I got lucky and landed with a nice, but very poor, family. Im talking welfare and foodstamps poor. I worked my ASS off putting myself thru college. Hell I only just payed off my school loans a few years back! I stared in the mailroom of the company im at now. I now manage a software support help desk in the same company. I did it by working my fingers to the bone. If life was supposed to be easy for all white people, I missed it. So basically, go fuck yourself you narrow-minded, racist, dumbass. I hope life changes your attitudes because you wont go far in this world blaming others for things you cant, or wont, do.
Finally, dont get me wrong. Life for a minority, any minority in any country, is never easy. And God knows there are some racist motherfucking white people in this country. But there are also some motherfucking racist black, Latino, asian…etc as well. You want to know something about me, ask. Judge me by my skin color and your no better than those guys putting on pillow cases and burning crosses.
Guy sounded like an overly-sensitive reverse-racist. Fuck 'im with an ear of corn… right in his ear. If you run into him again, just remind him that HE started the shit, not you.
But if I were you, I’d just laugh if he suggests “getting physical” again… because we all know that might makes right, eh?
A black guy being loud and obnoxious, screaming about racism and threatening violence? I wonder if that guy ever realizes what a caricature he is. Unfortunately I have encountered these angry black males before myself. They are victims of an inherently racist society and all of their problems stem from that fact. They somehow fail to see how their shitty decisions in life might have something to do with the fact that things don’t seem to go their way. Playing the blame game is a hell of a lot easier than accepting personal responsibility.
God how I wish for that day to come.
