After hearing Dave talking out his ass today on the show regarding race, I think I'll make a confession. When I was in 5th grade a kid was talking shit about my mom. He happened to be black. Classic schoolyard confrontation ending with a 'see you after skool'. He beat the fucking piss out of me- so I proceeded to do the only thing a beaten asshole can do- verbally assault him. With tears streaming down my face, I spewed a litany of racial venom at him that I never imagined I would ever have said in all my life. Then the bus showed up and we rode home.
He told the school I called him a nigger; I had never heard the word before and was like 'what's that?' to my mom (I was a sped, gimme a fuckin break). I don't deny I said the most horrible things I could think of about black people to this kid after it was clear I couldn't win a dumb fight. I didn't believe a word of it when I was saying it- but I sure as shit wanted to make his feelings hurt. The fucking guy was a foot taller than me- I might as well have been wearing a cake around each fist.
For some reason he and I wound up getting along a couple weeks later and we even hung out together as friends for a few years before he moved away. Hell if I know why we became friends, we just did.
Last time I saw him was years ago. He was telling me how he was at a party and was making moves on some chick in front of her boyfriend. The boyfriend got mad and he was telling me how he had his friends intimidate the guy while he kept on hitting on her. I said 'well, y'know, that's somebody else's girl you're hitting on maybe you should find your own i'd be pissed too' and he goes 'I'm black. It's what I'm supposed to do'. Sure it is.
I can imagine how a guy can say stupid shit just to hurt someone's feelings. And I can see how the wrong perceptions can be articulated by both sides, regardless of whether you really believe what's coming out your mouth or not. Despite everyone else's opinions, talking shit don't make ya a bad person. Just sayin'
