(10,437 posts)friends when a couple guys on the other side me kept going on and on about *igger this and that and how blacks are given everything and all the typical racist ranting as you would expect. After about 5 minutes of hearing this garbage and turned to the guy next to me and asked him..."So what you are saying that if you could be born again, you would chose to be born black?"......because they have it so good in our country?".....the look on his face was precious...I wasn't sure what was going to happpen but I had my 20oz beer mug in my hand ready for it....
Wasn't more than a few minutes later that guy and his friend got up and left. The bartender who was standing there the whole time told me that guy always shooting off his mouth and he never saw him shut up so quickly.
My asked me if what I was thinking...I told him. at least I was polite and didn't call him a good damn racist asshole like I wanted to
