silly statements...
why do people say silly things that are often offensive?
like when I was conversing with the new co-workers and talking about my drive down here from buffalo, I mentioned that I drank a lot of Red Bull, the stuff that gives you wings. So why does the "ben look a like" guy say to me: "You were drinking malt liquor while driving?" WTF? malt liquor??? where did he get that from I thought??? then it rang in my head, he must recall seeing those beer commercials back in the 80's & 90's for Colt 45; The scene showcased is people of color are dancing and socializing and all of sudden a bull charges through the wall into the party.... How you mistaken red bull and colt 45, which are too different things, is beyond me. Do I even look like I buy Colt 45? and insinuating drinking and driving no less wasn't any more of a saving grace than the original comment/ Besides, that was a dumb commercial. A Bull comes to kill you if you pop open a can of Colt 45. hmp hmp hmp.
Prior to that, I was out with someone who made a comment about "Uncle Tom" and thought it was funny.
What is wrong with people today? what is funny about slavery and depiction of African Americans in an unsavory manner?
I think that some think that we have come so far in social integration that certain stigmas no longer exist. Well they do exist and it ain't funny.
hopefully, tomorrow will be free of dumb comments. at least one can only hope, right
