First and foremost, I am sooooo sick of hearing about celebrity money. It's not a jealousy thing. Quite frankly the whole issue is none of my business, well that and I really, REALLY don't care! Americans and their obsession with other peoples money is astounding sometimes.
Really? Celebrities! Does it make you feel like you have a 12 inch dick to tell the world what you are worth? Hello! We are not stupid, we see you in the movies and on the TV shows, we have an inkling that you might be somewhat successful! Get over yourselves!!!!
And to you people who demand the information, is this really going to improve your station in life? Does it make you smarter? Happier?
I was in the grocery store the other day and I was minding my business when an older white guy walked up to me and started speaking to me in Spanish...
The Older White Guy: (in Spanish) blah blah blah...
Me: (annoyed) (in English) I don't speak Spanish sir
The Older White Guy: (English) Excuse me, I'm sorry, I um just figured cuz, you know, you're brown.
Me: (really pissed off now and without missing a beat) So...based on your logic, I am supposed to figure, because, well you're white, that you speak trailer park?
MORAL OF THIS STORY: Racist remarks spat in my direction may cause me to lose my tongue.




PLEASE tell me that grocery store conversation didn't actually happen!
ReplyDeleteAgain and again I'm shocked and appalled by the amount of stupidity in the world and especially in this town. You think I'd be used to it by now. Um, yeah, not so much.
I don't wish for world peace. I wish for world-wide common sense. Peace will naturally follow after people pull their heads out of their asses.
Unfortuantely my friend, it did happen.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, its not hte first time for me either. It's just the first time I lashed out on an ignorant person.
Nothing makes me more mad than people and their assumptions. I am not proud of the comment that I made back to him because I do realize it puts me on his level but I can only hold my tongue for so long and he just really pissed me off.
Yes, my skin color is brown but that in no way applies that I speak spanish (which I do a little bit but these days I'm more fluent in French) I live in America and its time that the rest of the world get with the program and realize that they can't just assume based on looks. What's that old cliche? Don't judge a book by its cover?
Maybe, (and I may be a little too hopeful) but just maybe that guy will think twice about how he apporaches people.
I guess its all we could hope for right?
Have a fantastic day!
