Yet another encounter with a freep

[Bluzmann57]

My dad and I go out for breakfast on Tuesdays and discuss things. We have been doing this for a couple of years and hope to continue doing this for quite some time. This morning, I grabbed a clean shirt which commemorates the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights act of 1964, which were being handed out, more or less, at the 2004 Mississippi Valley Blues Fest. So anyway, my dad and I were sitting there talking about sports, politics, our lives, regular things that people talk about when some redneck piece of shit came up and asked why I was wearing a shirt like that? I asked him what was he talking about and he said that the Civil Rights act didn't even need to be signed because "niggers already can get whatever they want". I was seeing red and impolitely told the guy to get out of my sight before I beat him to a bloody pulp. He then said that I was "just like them" whatever that means. My dad, who is a lifelong Democrat, and a pacifist, and 74 years old at that, even told the guy off. The manager of the restaurant then came out and told the dumbass guy to leave immediately and apologized to us. We thanked him and after we left, a black man who I have met but don't really know all that well came up and thanked us. I told him there was no need to thank us because people are people, there is good and bad in all races. Goddamit I am having a hard time holding my temper in when this kind of stuff is happeneing in this once great land. Sorry if I offended anybody with my language and peace to you all. Thank you for letting me rant a little.
