Here's a ludicrous, transparent, silly bouncy tale that gradually evolves into a wild argument about whether it's a bouncy:

I am so mad I am shaking
So,went to my local country club for an enjoyable Sunday morning of golf and got put in with a group of guys I had not seen there before.
All was fine for a few holes with just normal small talk about the start of football season when one of the guys suddenly says "did you see any of the convention last week,I can`t believe they think that n####r should be reelected".
One of the other guys laughed and said something about him being an affirmative action experiment.
The third guy just stood there looking stunned and I exploded saying how the **** dare you use such racist words against our President!
I told them they ought to be ashamed and faux news inspired hatred like that had no place in our society.
They looked at me like I had two heads and said good luck with being a socialist but we are here to play golf.
I told them to go ahead,I would follow.
They went to the tee and hit while I hung back.
When it was his turn the third guy said "I will hang back and play with him (me)"
He told me after they had gone that he could not believe such racism still exists but guess it is what a repuke has to be.
He is now going to be voting for President Obama I believe!

2. Racists don't think they're racists.
It's amazing what they'll say when they believe they're in like company. What's more amazing is that they can't conceive of people existing who don't think as they do. They probably felt insulted that you called them racists.

109. Yes, I shock the hell out of them, too
I'm old and white and inherited money--not a huge amount, but certainly enough for any sane person--and I clean up pretty well.
If I go out cleaned up, someone invariably ASSumes I'm one of the entitled. While I try not to sandbag anyone, I do let them know their ASSumptions about too many things are seriously in error.
Well, unless they're being hideously racist. Then I just ask them what the **** is the matter with them.
I cannot believe that a hateful, vicious crone like DUmmy Warpy cleans up even close to "pretty well".
She does, after all, have a face reminiscent of President von Hindenburg, and a long history of drug abuse.

76. How about storming back the the clubhouse and demanding your money back?
Maybe it's too late for that.
Report the names of those racists to the club. I think a letter to the editor of the largest paper in your area is in order, and use their names. Where do they work? Would their boss be interested in knowing that their employee is a racist?
You were right to call them on it, but if that is all that happens, they will rationalize that you are only one crazy SOB and continue on, as before.
Racism will continue on, until racists change their minds. Pain, shame and embarrassment are ways of helping the wrong-headed change their minds.
And after you've done all that, let us know how easy it is to get another Sunday morning tee time.

3. Sweet Jesus. Unbelievable hatred and racism.
Even if today's partner isnt voting to re-elect the President, at least he had the manners to show some respect instead of indulging the racists.
Good on you for calling them out on their racism.

10. Sounds like you think your country club is different from most.
I hope you're right but I am skeptical.. Those two racists probably represent what most other members believe, they were just less inhibited from saying so.
I used to think a yacht club I belonged to was different too. Unfortunately I was wrong, so I resigned during the Bush years.... I just could no longer enjoy spending time with a bunch of republicans.

19. I am not a member as I can`t afford it
it is a semi private club so when I have a few extra bucks for greens fees I go and play.
I don`t think I would join now even if I could ever afford it.

11. I know how you feel...
I live in the south. Im a big white guy and have a very noticeable southern accent so I guess I come across as a redneck sometimes. Anyway, I guess I look like a southern Republican because Ive lost count of the number of people who strike up a political conversation with me assuming I must hate Obama like they do. Ive also lost count how many times the N-Bomb has been dropped in the process. So when I hear all these teabillies say their hatred of Obama has nothing to do with race, I know its bullshit.

23. Tell Someone In Charge at the CC.
Unless they want racists as members.
Then get back to us and let us know how it went.

46. No,maybe play 4 times a year
Greens fees are 35.00 a round to walk so not something I can do very often and before this have always been with people that did not talk like this.
Guess the DNC this week and the desperation romney supporters must feel caused them to lash out.
So this is a public golf course where you can buy an annual ticket.
It has the word "Club" in its name, so it sounds exclusive to a DUmpmonkey.

44. Are you kidding?
I've met people just like that. One said, "It's no wonder Obama can't create jobs, what does a ni**er know about working for a living?"

and anecdotally structured.

I suspect folks at a certain site which shall not be named are having some "fun".

89. My first thought was "Whoa, 18 holes on a Sunday and that person is home and posting by 10:30?"
We start at 7 usually and I'm never home before 1 or 2. Also, one can follow or "hang back" but if you're playing in a foursome the four of you will all be on the green at the same time. Most marshalls WILL NOT allow a foursome to become two twosomes after leaving the first tee unless it's a weekday and there isn't another foursome on your heels. Especially if you're playing at a "country club".
And, this person converted a white racist (albeit closeted probably) golfing repub who is now probably going to vote for President Obama to boot!
One. Cool. Story.
