Note to self: read posts more closely. Of course the $20 is a fee. :smack: Yep-he really didn’t need to go there. I do find something oddly funny about it–the future of the world–held in black parking attendant’s hands! Oh, the humanity! :rolleyes: Ok, maybe I have a weird sense of humor. ---

Not only is the guy a racist asshole, he’s the most cowardly coward there ever was. Instead of using a racial epithet against this guy during the initial confrontation, he had to wait until he was all secure in his car, the car blocking him out of the way so he can make a quick getaway before saying it. Fucking coward! :mad: ---

Another “Bravo!” for **Lute**. I’m just surprised the guy dared to welcome an altercation with a black man! Those people are **strong**! Actually, I’d be more disturbed by the level of rage Mr. Important was able to muster and the degree to which his composure abadoned him. Might be a racist, but I think that’s not his greatest fault. ---

> [@Large Marge](#): > > Are you kidding? So the comment _“You know what the problem is ? It’s with niggers like him, the goddamned niggers are ruining the whole city,”_ doesn’t sound at all racist to you? I read the rant _three_ times and did not catch that once. Man, I apologize - that is indeed sickening. That guy is an asshole, and a racist, and I can’t read. Sorry, OP! ---

Fucking coward! :mad: This is what struck me the most about this story. I agree completely.
