WARNING: The following will contain language that is offensive. It is only being used to tell the story of how my friend and I put a racist in his place, and in NO WAY reflects my views and opinions of different races.
I sat around today watching the news, trying to think of a substantive diary to write, and failed miserably. I lurked around for a while, dished out some mojo, and even made a few comments. Then it hit me!
With all the talk of race baiting, and racism, being talked about the last few days, I should tell the story of how I, with a friend's help, put a racist in his place.
A few years ago, I met my friend, let's call him A.J., and his girlfriend at the bar. My friend happens to be black(I say black, rather than African-American, because that's what he prefers), and I am white, and could pass as a skinhead, because of my hairstyle, or better yet, lack there of.
We were sitting in a quiet corner, minding our own business, tossing back beers, and cracking jokes, like we always do. The bar we go to is horseshoe shaped, and after we'd been there for a while, a guy we'd never seen before came in, and sat down opposite me. His view was partially obstructed, and he was unable to see A.J. I told A.J. to keep an eye on this guy, because once he noticed A.J., he started glaring at me and looked as though he wanted to tell me something. I told A.J. to follow my lead if this guy came over to start something, and that I would be using the N-bomb. Sure as the sunrise, this guy comes over. The following is our exchange with the ignorant fool:
Stranger: "What's up?"
Me: "Not much. How's it goin?"
Stranger: "I don't know if you noticed, but there's a nigger sittin next to you."
Me: (Tapping A.J. on the shoulder) "Hey. There's a nigger in the bar."
A.J.: "WHAT?! THERE'S A NIGGER IN THE BAR?! WHERE?!"
Me: "I don't know man. This guy just told me there's one in the bar."
A.J.: "Fuckin' niggers. Where is he? I'm gonna kick his ass."
The guy just stood there, shocked by what he had just witnessed.
Finally we turned to this doucebag and politely asked him to get the fuck out and never come back. Telling him that his kind weren't welcome in the bar, and would not be tolerated.
He just looked at us for a second, turned, and walked out the door. We all had a good laugh at his expense, and the bartender gave us free drinks the rest of the night, for putting the racist fuck in his place.
I hope no one was offended by this, and sincerely apologize if you were. I just felt this story was worth sharing, considering all of the nastiness that's being thrown around by the bat shit crazy McCheese supporters.
