Wait, so you were calling a shovel a spade?

I dunno man, that sounds pretty racist to me.

And the racism keeps flowing from good ol' ronedee.

Unconscious and unintentional, I would think.

In case you missed it, I was being facetious.

Sorry, I missed it. Why didn't you use the irony font?

Shit Tyrone, get it together

Notice here, how the central issue (christian hypocrisy) was skewed (by "ronedee") toward racism. Oh how ironic that the theists defend themselves by throwing stones at innocent passers-by. Again, all I did was report what I observed. People watching makes me a racist? Really?

look.... you got the "card" from me. yet you double down?

you are like the rest, who run with the false baton.... with no balls to stand alone.

I think racism is when one chooses to act or say something *because* of someone's racial features. The OP was simply stating an objective fact of the past: that that conversation took place. What *is* racist though is ronedee implying that if you say that in "the hood", you'll get beat up. You're not reporting anything objective ronedee, but rather directly referring to a stereotype that says because they're black, they're going to beat you up for saying stuff like in the OP. Your statement was directly formulated by these hypothetical people's racial feature, and that's racist.

Another one! Yup, uh-Huh ..surrrre!

Look bub...have you ever been in "the hood"? I grew up there and worked there for years!

They: white, black or hispanic don't need a reason to kill you! Just being there will do fine!

AND...this wouldn't even be an issue if the OP kept his trap shut!

TYRONE: “Say nigga, I know you.”
CECIL: “Yeah, motherfucker, I know you from somewhere too.”
TYRONE: “Shit nigga, what you been up to?”
CECIL: “Oh you know, you know…”
TYRONE: “I show does nigga. How yo mama be?”
CECIL: “Shit motherfucker my mama been givin me troubles - crazy bitch.”
TYRONE: “Hell yeahs. I feels you dawg.”
CECIL: “Say, where I know you from motherfucker?”
TYRONE: “Aww shit nigga, I aint’ fo show.”
CECIL: “Whoa, hold up - I know from where. Brother I seen you at church.”
TRYONE: “Oh yes. Of course, now I recognize you. How is your mom?”
CECIL: “Thanks for asking; my mom is a blessing, yo. She’s doing good, good.”
TYRONE: “Good seein you brother.”
CECIL: “Yes, you too. Blessings brother.”
TYRONE: “Blessings.”

Not even fifteen minutes after this happened, I overheard another two loud characters giving some christian love to one another. These two (ladies) never gave their names.

Female #1: “Dam gurl, yo shoes be lookin dumb wit dat dress.”
Female #2: “Yeah, but I aint got my man cheatin on me like you does nigga.”
Female #1: “Gurl I otta slap dat smirk off your ugly dam face along wit dem dumb ass shoes.”
Female #2: “You aint shit nigga. You jus mad cuz I been wit yo man”
Female #1: “Bitch, don’t be talkin bout my man.”
Female #2: “Shut up now. We’s getting ready to head to the church.”
Female #1: “Do you really think the lord would approve of those ugly ass shoes?”
Female #2: “Gurl, you crazy, and yo cheatin husband be goin to hell.”


These two events actually took place. I have quoted them nearly verbatim, and I am making no racist comments. I am merely reporting on the christians in my town. Maybe it's time to relocate?

hock:

How did this turned into another racism bullshit? OP's comment wasn't racist. He just wrote a "conversation" that he heard. Did he say that they were black or that all blacks talk like this?
