An Etiquette Question... #2

Well even if they're prissy, they've got some real mouths on them.

A while ago, I was coming back home from dinner and witnessed a black couple arguing on the street. The woman yelled a bunch of obscenities, threw a shopping bag on the ground at his feet and yelled, "YOU carry the damn bag!", stormed away, and he was left there with the saddest look on his face. Poor guy.

I'm thinking this is a geographic thing. That's not even been close to my experience. My last girlfriend was black, and she was a little church mouse.

Perhaps. But the black girls in middle of nowhere PA were exactly the same. Carried some real attitudes on them.

I'm not saying that all black women have that type of attitude going on, but most of the ones I've encountered were pretty obnoxious and not afraid to go into, "What? Bitch, oh no you didn't!" mode when they got angry.
 
I'm beginning to believe you're on the spectrum.

ya people by racism understand only white doing stupid things against black ? that's ignorant, racism goes all ways, all the bullshit ignorant people do on race base, so since cant express myself i'd stick with my ironic ****
 
I wouldn't say anything to the people being rude. Instead I'd turn to the girl and apologize that she had to overhear people that suck.

Hmm, interesting.

I've always been in pretty cosmopolitan areas, so I've met people from a tonne of different cultures and... eh, I've found everyone to be more or less the same. Setting can matter, but I haven't ever seen it effect attitudes, just expression (had a friend who, when hanging out with me would speak perfectly normal, yet when with his black friends would spontaneous grow a Jamaican accent and start speaking in Ebonics... oh, and he was Clorox white, so that was kind of hysterical).

I wonder if this is about cultural expectations. Perhaps they're different in America, and the women you've met have been trying to adhere to certain behaviors that they believe society would expect from them. Like men are expected to be stoic in most societies, so even more sensitive men will tend to repress their emotions in order to "fit in."

Just a thought...

I'd nervously laugh while carressing the butt of my ******.
 
I really can't comment on this because 90% of the time I'm the one embarrassing the people I'm with by making racist comments. :o

You're in line at the coffee shop, planning to pick up your favorite caffeinated beverage. There's a couple of guys ahead of you who make a blatantly racist comment and laugh about it. They aren't too subtle about it, and you easily overhear. Glancing around you see that the person directly behind you in line is a young woman of the race about which they made the remark, and she has obviously heard, and taken offense to, the remark as well. How do you react?

Do you call the guys out on their behavior? Do you keep quiet in hopes of not making waves? Do you go get the manager to see if he'll eject the guys from the store? Do you try to console the young woman? Do you take a dump in your pants and throw your own ***** at the racists because nothing says "I disapprove of your comment" like a face full of trouser fudge?

What do you do? What do you do...?

I would just wait patiently until it's my turn to order something, and when I pay my stuff I'd lay down some extra cash to pay for the coffee of the girl behind me. it's just something to tell without words that there might be assholes in the world but there are also nice guys.

It depends in which area of the US and in which type of bar you are. If it is a badly frequented bar where there are a lot of thugs and /or rednecks or bikers, I wouldn't try to play the rough dudes but I would say to them with an assured voice by looking firmly and with insistence in the eyes :"Can you explain me why did you say this remark? I think it was uncalled for, just put at yourself at the person whom you have insulted." If it is a nice bar frequented by good people it would be different, I would have said that:"Who do you think you are sonny to call people like that? Excuse yourself towards the lady and be happy that she didn't punch you in the face. If you don't make excuses I will call the manager or the police to deal with you accordingly."
Besides this I think to have a *** with you in the US is a necessity because you never know on who you will fall even in a bar, you can fall on a former convict or on a fugitive.
