i replied “hello nigger”
The whole cabin was taken a back and I was asked in no uncertain terms to explain myself. Well I said, you started it by making nasty hurtful remarks about my physical appearance, so I thought I’d mearly reply accordingly. That’s only fair isn’t i? The gentleman in question burst out laughing and nearly apologised as he saw my point. I apologised for using that word, but did so as a matter of point and equality.
i don’t walk around shouting hurtful names at those who participate in activities that shorten their lives, and I certainly don’t expect it in return. No doubt the AME in question was a drinker, smoker or into bondage with farm animals. But none of that shows physically so he’s no doubt a fine chap because he looks the “right cut of the gib”
We all have a cross to bear, what’s yours?
