I had a confrontation yesterday with one of these lefty liberal types ........

It started over a dog ..... I took a friend’s Rhodesian Ridgeback for a walk and this young woman comes over to me in the park and starts stroking the dog, asked me what sort it is. “You mean a Zimbabwean Ridgeback .... “ she says.

So I gave her the full history. To give her credit, she sat and listened to me without interrupting. Then she told me I was a racist ..... to which I replied with my usual : “It would be more helpful if you tried to understand why many of us who’ve lived in Africa are racist, as you call it.”

Needless to say she'd never even set foot in Africa but of course was an 'expert' on the topic. They make me sick.
