Can’t Win For Losing



Random epiphany number 362: White people are as equally stupid as their melanin-loaded counterparts.

Random epiphany number 363: It’s just that when White people fuck up, they do it in the most hilariously asinine way possible.

A while back, I mentioned that I could give less than a shit if by chance some cornball saltine decides to step out of pocket and start spitting out the dreaded n-word as if Robin Williams would pop out of a lamp & grant them three wishes. For the most part I’ve stuck to this feeling, but it makes me wonder if my somewhat “meh” attitude about the word is indicative of the entire Black demographic as a whole, as well as if it’s contributing to the increase of Whites using the word as a whole.

This weekend I sent a good amount of time at my cousin’s shooting the shit out of various Internets humps via Halo 3, where in between the matches I was treated to a bunch of random-ass crackers shouting out the n-word [1]. While the closet hippie/militant side of me wanted to find and beat the YTs silly, in the end I didn’t mind too much because a) it was a video game, b) they were random dumb-asses spread across the nation and c) I know that due to the freedom of the Internets, they probably wouldn’t attempt to say it in my face unless they wanted to catch an eye jammie.

Then again, I’m pretty sure there are those Whites that actually say the shit to their Black counterparts’ faces because they know they won’t do anything about it, thanks to the seemingly lax attitude – like mine – in society as a whole. Apparently now the dreaded n-word is as alright to say as “damn,” “ass” or “hell,” because I’ve heard that shit drop on shows that come on in the middle of the day, for shit’s sakes. If that were the case, should I have really gotten slightly pissed at some random Xbox paleface in the first place?

My logical side eventually trumps my blind rage in the long run; I mean, Black people have shouted it out so much, you would think it’s a code word or something. Hell, as I was just going to get some groceries last night I was treated to a couple humps my age (as well as a older guy whose dinner for the night was nothing more than a 40 of Miller High Life and some chips, but I digress) dropping the n-bomb almost unconsciously. So could I – could Blacks as a whole, for that matter - really get mad when some random person gets out of pocket & says it?

Speaking of White boys, I should let you know that my “racist” brother-in-arms Shake and myself have started our own venture, 2 Dope Boyz. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

[1] Interesting fact: White people know how to pronounce my name correctly more than Black people. Go fucking figure.
