You Never Know Someone's True Feelings Until, . . .

Recently, I posted a comment on another social website about Mr. Obama and the job he had ahead of him and the whole "Birthers" thing. Usually, my friends reply with their own opinions, respectfully, but still opinionated. One man decided that he was going to 'go there' by asking 'What has Obama done for 'Afro-Americans' and the ghetto?" (Oh yes he did!) He delved deeper into his own stupidity by adding that Obama hasn't removed all of the 'Kool Milds' and 'Colt 45' signs from the ghettos. I've dealt with this type of ignorance, so I didn't let him stray from the topic, however, I did enlighten him about ghettos and the word 'Afro-American.' The more I put him on full blast, the more frustrated he got. He decided that he'd pick on illegal immigrants next, but his idea of illegal immigrants are Mexicans. He used so many stereotypes and derogatory statements ( a sign to me that he was just flailing around at that point), that he pretty much incurred the wrath of others posting replies. Without facts to support his allegations, he was definitely the asshole of the moment. As angry as I was, I never let him know that. I stuck to facts. He claimed that he never looks at color, but when he got angry enough, that was the FIRST thing he resorted to; color, race, stereotypes, bad commentary on Mexican women and 'the black man blaming the white man for everything.' I'm being nice. He had misspelled words and many other basic grammar issues. His posts were actually hard to read. Finally, when he had exhausted himself of all stereotypes and empty unsupported claims, and realized that he hadn't created the 'black rage' he was hoping for, he called US all cry-babies (misspelled that too), tucked tail and broke out. You can imagine how much we laughed at this idiot. My point? I know the man. I went to Jr. High and High School with him. He hung around a diverse group of kids, including black kids. You never really know someone until the trifecta of hot subjects (race, religion, politics) is discussed. Today, he has lots of "splaining" to do with his minority friends. Good luck with that. You can't 'un-ring' that bell. Note to racists: You can go to any store and purchase a dictionary, thesaurus or vocabulary builder. I'm out.
