bein from the the south i'll tell you right now if there's one racist redneck there, chances are so is everyone else...
I'm a genuine certified, dixie tried, full of pride, til i die, pure bred redneck. Oh yeah, Gay marrige is for fags.
We're OD'ing on the racism topic this week, there are 3 active battles taking place where commentary on racism is the driving force. That fact alone suggests it's a bigger problem than most people are readily willing to admit these days.
FUCKING "HUCKLEBERRIES" !!!!!

I can imagine probation blows royally. Thankfully you came clean on the sodomy, I was actually worried for you there for a second. Primarily due to the fact that, and I'm purely guessing here, but I can imagine that as big of a pain in the ass probation was, it doesn't cast a shadow on being anally raped.
I've heard this phone booth vandalism story mentioned before, AC, and each time I think that every person should do something like that at least once in life. An itch to raise hell, scratched at the expense of a phone booth.
Besides, phone booths are just asking for it.
During a mental breakdown of sorts years ago, I called the cops from a payphone and said, "I hear shouting and murder afoot at the CVS, which is actually not such a bad thing...the checkout line is a mile long this time of day." I know that's what I said because I said it, I heard the tape at the police station, and I read the transcript of the interrogation. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. I wasn't high, just insane. Lots of psych meds, but not high. It's no pay phone attack, but it was pretty reckless and stupid.
I was arrested. Danced around in jail for a night, got sodomized, and went to probation for three years. Well, I wasn't sodomized. Really.
Don't underestimate the unspeakable pain in the ass power of probation.
Rugged. haha!
Ignorance of any sort pisses me off, so racist rednecks are quite possilby to me the lowest common denominator. Like Eddie Murphy said in 48 Hours, "I don't like white people, and I hate rednecks. You people are rednecks, so that means I'm enjoying this shit!"
The night in jail was from me being drunk, getting angry about a situation, and then attempting to beat the ever living hell out of a pay phone. Let me tell you, those things are fucking rugged.
a night in jail? do tell! I didn't hear the racist comment that apparently inspired this little battle, but I was at the party, and saw the outcome. "I don't cotton to racism" is what D said and then tried to get up and walk away. Everyone was stoned.
I work with mostly liberal, open minded people, but there is one huge exception. I do the ignore thing. It's easier.
I used to get mad, but now I just turn the person off in my mind, and try to find someone with more civilized point of view. Like Lilac said, I know I'm not going to change them, and most likely, I'm not going to learn anything from them. For instance, I work with a guy who hates blacks, gays, and women. I could either argue or co-exist and ignore him. I chose the latter. My anger's gotten me a night in jail already, I don't need that again.
