i was stunned that a black guy was the serial killer. i am racist, i was sure it was a white guy. damn whites! your slave was right!
hahahah also, i remember when they caught the washington sniper. i thought to myself "black guys serial killing? no way! thats weird. why would a black guy be a serial killer? evil psychos are usually white! and then they read the islamic name, and i was like. oh, i get it." islam can turn fun-loving black fellas into crazies.
I just might be a racist myself. I keep thinking that basketball is a game played mostly by large black men.
I have a story to tell: I worked at US Airways at Den from July 02 until Jan 03, the same time period the snipers were killing and then captured. I was warned that there was a black guy there that was racist and to watch what I say to him. There turned out to be 2 black jerks working there and I'll give you an example of the second one: 1) I was just learning how to dump the lavs and it was my first time and this guy comes out and tells me its taking me to long that he'll take over, for me to go help them inside the plane, so I did. The first guy I'm going to tell you about now: 1) we had a flight diversion after hours and there was only 3 of us there cleaning the planes so 1 of us went down to assist the aircraft, etc. Now when this happens there are procedures you have to do from paperwork, to phone calls and other duties like calling a fuel truck, fire trucks and ambulances usually show up. I went down to help Pete with the diversion meanwhile the guy I'm telling you about was up in the plane cleaning supposedly. Let me say that I was new and I've always have been interested in aviation all of my life so when your new your enthused and want to learn as much as you can about the situation not to mention that 1 day I could be the only one to know what to do in that situation one day. Pete was happy to see me because he was very busy in the office on the phone and asked me to go up to the plane and talk to the pilot so I went up and did that, to make a long story short the plane had just left and we were finishing in the office, your also suppose to wait until after the plane takes off to make sure everythnig is ok. Meantime the guy comes down from the airplane yelling and screaming at us because we aren't helping him clean the plane so that made me mad, I started yelling and screaming back at him and wrote him up and Pete signed it so I turned him in. This guy could have an attitude most of the time, the only reason he could be nice to you is when he needed you to work for him. Most people after being around me or working with me know that I can get along with just about anyone. Others saw this guy try to give me orders because I was new but everyonce in a while he would try and intimidate me or say something smart with the word "f*ck" around there somewhere. I'm not the only one he would do stuff to, there was a few others but no one would do anything because they were intimidated by him. We even had a lead that was intimidated by this guy. One day he was watching a hearing on slavery reprisals or something like that on 1 of the tvs at work. He would blame the white man for everything and still think he was owed because of the past, I told him alot of blacks have it just as good if not better than whites because of sports, mainly professional. I worked some days for him to help him out and it helped me pass through my probation period faster but I never could get him to repay me back. I got layed off in January but they were going to call me back but I had decided I wasn't going back because it should've been a dream job for me but it turned out to be a nightmare most of the time. I would be getting to work and a few times both the black guys would be fighting with each other, you could hear the yelling from far away. Both of these black guys would do anything they could to get out of work. sorry, this is so long but I had to set the table to talk about the snipers. It was so funny when the snipers were caught and were black because we all talked about this stuff before they were caught and this guy said that they had to be white because very rarely were their any black serial killers which is probably the only thing we both ever agreed on. To see the looks on both of their faces was unbelievable when the news broke and we checked it out on the tv. This has been pretty long so read on if you want to know what happened to these 2 guys. The 1st guy got fired shortly after the snipers were caught not of my doing. The racist guy that harrassed me was warned and on his last leg so here it is. Btw I saw him yelling at a lead and saying he wasn't going to attend a class because we had planes to clean. Anyway I admit I was out to get this guy because of the personal attacks and problems I had with him so my last week I argued with him because he wouldn't work 1 day for me but I'd find things to get at him like he did me. To make a long story short he got in an argument and I was careful at what I said around witnesses but when we went outside I let him have it. I did egg him on and he told me to touch him on his chest and I did in front of witnesses only. When I was leaving to catch the bus on the tarmac with other employees, in front of them he came out hiding and side I'm going to get you and your family. That was his last mistake, it was turned in with witnesses, an investigation was done and he was fired, he turned me into the police for touching him with a pen but that was thrown out because of witnesses on my side. He know works at Den for Frontier last I heard...
Let me follow my letter by saying their were 4 black guys at US Airways. 2 were 1st class and 2 were trouble makers.....
I think everyone has their stories...Reminds of of what Renee Zelwegger said to Tom Cruise on Jerry Maguire... "Let's not tell our sad stories." I think we're all mature enough to know that problems such as those are found in every nook and cranny of this great nation, and to a large degree, the rest of the earth as well. Think race relations are bad here? Checked out the headlines in Jerusalem? Hell, Louis Farakhan looks like Butros Butros Ghali compared to Ariel Sharon does in Arab eyes, these days... Racial differences, bigotry baced on genetic and skin pigmentation, and outright hate exist and will flourish... Hell, dark skinned black people are racist towards light skinned black people... It exists, and for the most part, no matter HOW much we do, there will always be segments in society that segment themselves based on their race... Racism exists. Sh!t happens. Another Day. Another Dollar.
Louis Farakhan, an avowed anti semite, is a serious student of the violin. His violin teacher for many years was an elderly Jewish lady who Farakhan treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Go Figure.
