women are always right - the black word

A few weeks ago some some stranger knocked on my door and virtually invited herself in on the pretense of needing some butter. I made a post about it at the time. A friend suggested that she must be a neighbor [notice the sp americans - so tolerant] she also said that they must know someone that i know. Well, she was right on both counts. How do females always get stuff right all the time? How do I now know this. I know this because as I walked across the courtyard a 6 foot black man started shouting at me as he raced towards me from behind. To begin with I thought the man was going to deck me for some unknown reason. Maybe I looked at his wife a few days ago and he did not like it ! That was the rubbish running through my head as I contemplated the fight or flight syndrome. I decided that he could probably run faster than me judging by his athletic build so I decided to confront him instead.

So as I turned to face him I politely asked, Sorry, was you talking to me, can i help you? Yeah he said, I don't suppose you have any smokes on you? That's all he wanted, a smoke. I had none and told him so. He said no trouble brother which I took to be respectful because not every brother is a brother let alone a white male from little england. Anyway, he asked me a favor. He wanted me to drop a bag into his friends which was on my way apparently. So I obliged. I took a walk and rang the door bell as instructed to make the delivery. Who answered the door, that very same girl who wanted to invite herself in that night. At least I now know who she is. She was stoned out of her mind and drunk to a high degree at the time. She sure looked embarrassed so i made a quick exit to ease the situation.

As I walked away I wondered what was in that bag. I think I may have innocently made a deal delivery to get the girl a little higher than she already was, still, as long as she is happy I don't suppose it matters.

Hard to explain so I will give a brief explanation. In england it is really not advisable to call a black man a black man. It's not PC. PC meaning politically correct. It's considered offensive. The nursery rhyme which included the lines 'baa baa black sheep, have you any wool' was deemed non PC and reports appeared in the press that schools and nurseries would ban them. I am not sure if they did in fact ban them or if the ban is still imposed but that's an example of the general stance about race issues. It's all to do with where and when you use the term I suppose. At college I was called a 'nigga' by friends which was fine by me. If I walked down the high street and called someone else a 'nigga' though, I would end up being sued for a race crime.

i dont' advise making deliveries like that in the future, dude. hahahahhaa. jesus.

You're right. It's not the kind of work experience that looks good on a C.V is it! I could put it down as Community Care and Voluntary Aid work maybe.....
