I wish people weren't so dumb.
Stupid things happened today...people wanted to fight. (last time there was a fight, a new bouncer told me 'hey you don't work here', and I backed off) I sat back and watched everyone talk a lot of crap and kept in mind who I was going to fight for if it came down to it. There were two people....a guy I've known since kindergarten and his best friend. Well anyways....people left and things seemed good.
I'm leaving to head to the bar down the street, when I see the girl I was dating (by this time she made it pretty obvious that we were just friends) and she was all frowned up. This other girl was yelling at this guy, because he had said the N word.....not only that, the guy had called her a Nigger lover. The girl I thought I was on a date with tried to mention the Dave Chapelle thing and we were like "yeah we say it to eachother all the time....." but something was different. Dude literally was storming off....and she (the other girl) was yelling at him to just try her, and that she doesn't give a fuck about colour. The dude kept walking, and she kinda followed him a bit, and I told her not to get into it. (i'm at the point where I realize this girl isn't my date because another guy rubbed her from front to back like it wasn't nothing....and she didn't care) I grabbed her, and hugged her, and just sort of reminded her that she didn't need to get into that stupid stuff.
Cops are there....bouncer is looking, and I talk her into downing/giving the rest of her beer to me before she leaves. My "date" walks off into the breeze without saying anything, and the other girl comes back, gives me an awesome hug, and then leaves.
I told her that we had to see each other again...because I found her attractive....but that's another story.
Anyways....later on that night, I hear the bouncer saying "oh it's all his fault, because he's black". I go along with the gag....because that's all I think it is. Then he says "it's his fault because he's taking all the welfare, the food stamps and unemployment."
I said out loud "wow...i've applied for all of those and was never qualified for any of them. As a matter of fact, I spent 6 years in the army, left, and now I'm in nursing school getting my money what I've earned.....also the majority people who are on food stamps and welfare are white".
i lowered myself down to his level with politics....but he never looked me in the eye with it when I said what I said. Some guy realized I was in the military, and decided to buy me a drink. I drank it, and left.
Went down the street, and met up with some other people, and they wanted to go back to the same spot I just left, after hearing what I said (and other stories about this guy) and we went.
The owner's husband says "you guys can stay" (even though it was after hours)......The same guy comes up and tries to kick me out. My friend says "he's with me". He says "he's been here all night, he's not with you guys". They double check him, and then I tell him that the owners husband said I'm cool. After that, he went to the owner and double checked to see if I was cool to stay there, and she said "yes". Finally he let it go, but my friend had to tell me to keep cool, because I was going to go off on that guy over this dumb stuff.
I find it so amazing that there are still dumb people who believe in that stupid stuff. I literally pay his check (you guys know i tend to get messed up a lot...and normally it's at a bar....not at home) and he's still so dumb about things. Some guy was trying to remind me what town we were in, and I reminded him that my friend and I were born in that same town and we don't feel that way about things. Generally, I'll joke around about dumb racist things with people I know, but I don't know this guy like that, it was obvious that he wasn't joking around. I keep trying to listen to the sentence I made the other night. At the same time, I'm ready to call on every every biker, redneck and everyone else who I've met there (who has my back for life) in the past several years before he even had that mediocre job to beat his ass down after I do it myself.
