Confrontation with a belligerent cracker.
   

I was in Office Depot today.

I'm short, fat, white and female.

The checkout girl said she was gonna rent a movie, since it was Friday evening. I said, "Oh a big night in the big city". This is a town of 20,000 that is far bigger than the one I live in.

I told her she should watch Charlie Wilson's War. I had just gotten a copy of it at the Dollar General store for $6. I told her that it was about our former Congressman from Lufkin (E TX), and that it was pretty funny, and had Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts as his girlfriend. She said, "Oh I LOOOVE Tom Hanks". IOW, I was trying to get her to see a political movie that had some truth to it, but had lots of jokes in it.

Then some tall, fat, white, young cracker comes up and growls, "Yeah, he's a lot more CONSERVATIVE than what we've got in the White House now".

I said, "What's wrong with telling the schoolkids to study hard and stay in school? George Bush made a speech about staying off drugs, and nobody objected to that".

My BF said, "That's because he's a Democrat, they don't like it".

So I said, "So Republicans want kids to drop out of school and not study. Boy, that's real good."

At that point my blood pressure was way too high, so we turned and walked out of the store.

At the next store we went to I had to drink a coke and sit down on a bench for about thirty minute to calm down and get my blood sugar back up.

I'm glad I confronted the idiot and stood up to him. Maybe I should have said, "Yeah you want to burn books and burn women and burn black people, like the Dark Ages".






I can't handle this isolation from intelligent life.

I've started a Meetup group to try to get my kind of people out of the woodwork. I don't dare hand out flyers for it. Seriously, everyone here is a bible-thumper and racist. I have no friends here among the white people. Only a few black people (who speak far better English than the whites).


Details in the Texas forum.

Oh God, I miss the days when bouncy tails were entertaining at least.

The funny thing is the DUmmies are fighting over the word cracker now.
So the bouncy gets a slight boost to 1/2 a bong because a fight broke out.

1. The word "cracker" is pretty offensive

...

My BF...

HA! Dude has to @#$% fat chicks! I guess he has to eat crackers in bed.

BTW - That's one helluva non-sequitor from political movies to griping about people not wanting Obama to use people's kids to advance his policy agenda followed by the false dichotomy that not wanting your kids to write pledges of submission is the same as desiring one's children to grow-up uneducated.

22. No please, go ahead. I'm sure it would relieve your frustrations.
 I understand how incredibly difficult it is to be a member of the dominant culture and find yourself unfairly constrained from denigrating those who do not qualify for such membership.

And, oh the horror, that YOUR kind might be subjected to a somewhat derogatory epithet! How DARE they!

Isn`t moral relativism a wonderful thing.

I don't know what the hell she's referring to. Most of the blacks in North Central and East Texas don't speak English any better than anybody else. Furthermore, I didn't read where the "cracker" said anything remotely racist other than opposing 0bama. Of course, if one doesn't agree with The 0ne, they're automatically racist. I think that she needs to carry her Carpet bagging Yankee ass back to where she came from. Texas has been inundated with people from the North and the West Coast. It's ruining the state.

WHY does this never happen to me?!?!?! Once, just ONCE I'd like to be in Target/Walmart/Office Depot/Petsmart/Safeway and have this happen. Is that too much to ask????

Me too! We must go to the wrong stores!

[DumbAss Tanker]

We burned Black people in the Dark Ages?  Who knew?

 

[AllosaursRus]

Or live in the wrong city. Hell up here in the Great White North, even the Kanucks think Big O is an imbecile! Amazing how the DUmmies bring out all the racists and "Crackers". Oh, that's the same thing isn't it?

[Airwolf]

Sounds like the DUmmie is blissfully unaware of the raveges of intellegence. And likes it.

[crockspot]

Them were some powerful words coming from that there cracker. One sentence caused that woman's blood pressure to rise, and blood sugar to plummet. The resulting purchase of a can of Coke is good for the economy too.

I said, "What's wrong with telling the schoolkids to study hard and stay in school? George Bush made a speech about staying off drugs, and nobody objected to that".

How did we get from whether Tom Hanks or Barak 0bama is more conservative to the president making a speech to school kids? I don't recall George Bush asking schools to beam him into the classroom along with lesson plans. And how the hell does this fat freak know what the president's speech is about, did she get an advance copy? From the lesson plans I've seen I didn't see much about staying in school and staying off drugs, but he could've reworked it some since the lesson plan sort of brought to mind a "Hitler youth" kind of thing.

My BF said, "That's because he's a Democrat, they don't like it".

I think he's pretty far left of Democrat, but it seems to me his administration could find far better ways to spend their time.

So I said, "So Republicans want kids to drop out of school and not study. Boy, that's real good."

Again, how do you make the leap from thinking the president should tend to his business and the let the schools tend to theirs to wanting children to drop out of school and not study?

At that point my blood pressure was way too high, so we turned and walked out of the store.

At the next store we went to I had to drink a coke and sit down on a bench for about thirty minute to calm down and get my blood sugar back up.

I'm sure you probably did, it's GOT to be hard work to be that much of an idiot.

I'm glad I confronted the idiot and stood up to him. Maybe I should have said, "Yeah you want to burn books and burn women and burn black people, like the Dark Ages".

Yeah, maybe you should've said that because that would've made about as much sense as everything else you said and was just one more thing that had absolutely nothing to do with the subject, which started out about Tom Hanks and somehow devolved into freepers wanting children to drop out of school. But I bet everyone within earshot was glad you confronted him, too. Laughter is a healthy thing and I bet they were in stitches by the time you left.

So now that 'O's approval rating is around 47% ... does that mean 53% of the nation is now racist?!  Who the hell voted him into office?

I never meet checkout people that gregarious. Mostly it's, "Hello. Find everything you need?"

My wife now, that's a different story. I don't think she's ever met a stranger. She'd give the clerk a thumbnail sketch of her entire life history if I didn't start pushing the buggy away as a "hint" it was time to go.

[Freeper]

One time in my life has a perfect stranger brought up a political issue with me.
Back in Feb of this year I stopped to get some gas. The guy behind the counter said he owned the little shop. He started going off how he wasted his vote on Obama and how Obama was going to kill his business with the new tobacco taxes. For 5 minutes he went on. I just said well he's a politician what did you expect?

[The Village Idiot]

Someone disagrees with their crap they have a hernia. It is like the end of their world that some did not agree with their bull.

[diesel driver]

We burned Black people in the Dark Ages?  Who knew?

 

Of course!  Why do you think they called it "The Dark Ages"?   

[Traveshamockery]

Today when I was in Lowe's someone had written the word "traitor" on the cover of Oprah's magazine.  It gave me a chuckle.  And that's not a bouncy, either.

Did you hide the Sharpie^TM, afterwards?

IOW, I was trying to get her to see a political movie that had some truth to it, but had lots of jokes in it.

How pitiful is your short, fat, female life that the only reason you suggested some movie is because you wanted it to deliver some political message?

The Screenplay to “Charlie Wilson’s War” was written by Aaron Sorkin, the Ultra-Liberal crackhead that wrote “The West Wing.”

The movie starred Ultra-Liberals Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks.

And since I was ‘involved” on the periphery of the matter, the funding of the Afghan Resistance to the Soviet Invasion wasn’t as easy as depicted in the film.  Lots of political infighting and resistance among State, DoD, Congress and the White House. 

And Charlie Wilson wasn’t a Conservative—except that he hated the Soviets.  He was as “Big Government” “Tax and Spend” Liberal as Tip O’Neal.
