I did not have a “sprained wrist.” I literally snapped off my wristbone, and it was sitting three inches up my arm. That’s a two bone break, and it caused a permanent disability. I could be sitting on my ass right now, getting disability on the government’s dime, but I chose to work.

You only get SSDI if you can’t work anymore due to your disability. What did having an injury to your wrist (which is now apparently a Stephen King-esque nightmare of an injury) prevent you from doing? Did you masturbate for a living?

And yes, it _is_ noteworthy that you seem to have all these run-ins with black people who think you’re racist. If people kept calling me racist I’d start to take a look inward.

Forgot all about that old thread. Love this gem:

> [@Asking an African-American woman to give up a bus seat in the handicapped section makes me racist?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/asking-an-african-american-woman-to-give-up-a-bus-seat-in-the-handicapped-section-makes-me-racist/674137/5):

> 
> Finally, a white middle aged woman got up and gave me her seat. **As I sat down, I said “Maybe they’re pregnant.”**

Bolding mine. You have to admire Annie’s restraint in leaving out the part where the whole bus fell apart laughing–or perhaps giving her the ‘80s movie slow-clap treatment–after her (totally not racist) _bon mot_ regarding the teenagers’ likelihood of being unwed mothers-to-be.
