My racist neighbor

[OfcMikey]

I got a phone call from a neighbor, a self professed soccer mom. Seems she wanted to let me know about a "black man" in the neighborhood that was selling stuff door to door.
Well she goes on to explain that she has seen alot of "half breeds" in the neighborhood selling stuff and that this concerns her.
Lastly, she is concerned that "Muslim Terrorists" will start killing soccer moms, because she saw it on TV.

Great, I live next to the KKK's Arizona chapter.
I thought about telling her that my nephew is bi-racial, aka Black, but I figured it would be more fun for her to freak out when he comes over for Thanksgiving dinner.

I am so disgusted right now.

Make sure to wear pink socks when you go to get your mail. That should really flip her out.

LOL! That would do the trick!

And it really is sad that people still think like that. Makes me wonder if people will ever just get over it.

Like the comedian Greg Proops said (paraphrasing): I don't understand what the deal is with racism. It just doesn't make sense. But I think I've come up with a way to solve it. All we have to do is just breed with different people of different races until we're all just a drab gray color. Then there wouldn't be anymore problems!

Sounds like a plan!

And it surprises you that people feel that way? Hell there are all kinds of people in the world that don't like other people because of their color, sex, sexual orientation etc. Let it slide off your back and enjoy life because you are not going to change it.

[OfcMikey]

Surprised? No
Dissappointed? Yes
I thought these folks were ok, now I know they are not.

I gotta go buy some pink socks and rainbow coalition stickers, should drive em crazy.

Just wear ribbons and curlers and lipstick and your wife's robe to get the paper. lol
We have a neighbor that has this thing about guns. He is absolutely obbsessed with them. He heard some drunk sailors knocking down some mailboxs and runs out the door. He chases them, makes them get out the car on to the ground and holds a gun on these guys. He's a nerd who flunked out of the Police Academy. The cops were not the least bit impressed with him, even when he said he had gone to the academy.
Another time, my husband thought he heard a noise at another neighbors house and went to look over the fence. It turned out to be a door that was broken and the wind was pushing it. My husband turned around to be staring into a GLOCK. Freaked him out. It was the dumb neighbor and he put the gun down when he saw it was my husband. WOW! Was my husband mad.
Another time, we were all standing outside and he comes out. There was a lot of kids around. This guy gets an empty plastic container of coke and pulls out this small gun from his pocket. He was actually going to use it as silencer and prove he could hit the stop sign a block away. He even held the gun sideways to look cool. My husband went nutso. He screamed at him and neighbor said he had a licence. My husband said the next time he saw a gun in his hand when he was out side, he was reporting him. He told my husband he couldn't do anything because he had a liscense. He said, "Oh, yea...a licence for the gun or a license for stupity?" He said, "The next time you pull a stunt like that, I'm going to rip your f****** face off. Comprehende?"
People like him are so dangerous because they don't take guns seriously. We don't have one because I'm afraid to have one in the house.

I already do Mitzi. Just ask Nite.

[That Guy]

I am glad I don't live next to her. She would have called the FBI on me.
I remember while on an accident scene in the higher land value area I saw a black male jogging through the area and said damn it's early(0400).
A few seconds later a guy pulled up in his truck and said to another officer on scene "There is a black guy running that way. I am sure it is connected with what your on."
People get a clue!

How come Nite got yo see you in you wife's robe and curlers and lipstick?
Pictures, Nite, we want pictures.

[RachelR]

Niteshift in curlers and a robe? You can keep your pictures! Spare the rest of us please!

I once had a partner who's mother was white and father was black. Despite his mixed heritage, my partner looked very caucasion. There were any number of times that crime victims made racist statements in front of him. It always amazed me that he managed to keep cool about these things. Sometimes, people are jerks.

People like that really need to get a grip.
Maybe you could send your nephew over to borrow some sugar !!

Hey...what COLOR are the curlers??

Are you disapointed because they don't think like you, or that they are suspicious of black people? Did you ask them why they distrusted blacks? What makes you think they are part of the KKK?

I don't expect people to think like me, but to be suspect of all non-whites is pathetic.
I'm dissappointed that I am living near such intolerant people and my kids go to school with them.

I let it go, since I really didn't want to get into it with them. I will have more fun letting them find out the hard way about my family ties.
When you argue with a fool, it is hard to tell the two of you apart.
