We were smart enough to know this racist white man was obviously mentally ill because a normal white person would never behave this way in public.

I definitely didn't think to log on to CityData afterwards to make a thread about it because it's not that serious and I'm not that sensitive. We laughed about it and still enjoyed our day.

I've been watching the agenda unfold for years. It's proceeding as planned because too many are ashamed to voice their concerns. That's not me and never will be. More than likely we wouldn't get along in person anyway, so why would what either of us thinks of the other matter?
Yeah, overly paranoid people are super uptight and don't know how to have fun. So of course we wouldn't get along. Keep hiding in your basement with your guns and ammo waiting for a civil war that's never going to happen while life passes you by.

You should have called him the "N" word, then you would have been even. But if the guy is crazy enough he might have tossed you in the tracks. Or maybe the both of you guys would have skipped to the neighborhood bodega store so you can buy him two loosie cigarettes one for the other ear the other to smoke at the time. Oh! and don't forget to buy him that famous New York City.... "Buttaroll." If you know what I mean...

Anyone telling this guy to throw a racial slur because some crazy guy called him a racial slur is giving bad advice.

If he would have said that and there were other people around to hear it, he may have more trouble on his hands than he originally signed up for. So that is problem 1. Second problem is, why is a sane person getting this bent out of shape over what someone who obviously isn't sane called him? Unless both of them aren't.....nvm

I found it more odd that he used this derogatory term and no one finds it weird, even Wikipedia says this term is used in the South which is what I always thought, almost like someone calling Soda... pop in a Bodega? That would tell you something to not even pay attention, this guy is mental.

I don't like the N Word so I don't use it. We were on the sidewalk and we are not gonna argue with a nut job. We are two sane people who are smarter than that. Lol we were on our way to get drinks and Caribbean food, he was standing on the street alone, angry and probably frustrated with his life. We still had a great day!

That's why it's best to carry at least a flashbang in your bag. Just in case a overly aggressive humanoid approaches you, you flashbang them, disorient them, and you go on your merry way.

I let it go and kind of laughed because I would have destroyed this skinny ass dude if he tried anything. But isn't that racist? Should I report this? It this a hate crime?
yes and please do report it too many "crackers" fail to report it for whatever reason and just let it go report lets show it works both ways

On the contrary I'll be partying on the beach at Martell's in Pt. Pleasant Monday. If you're good looking you're welcome to join. My group is always racially mixed, but with normal people, not flaming libs who find racism in everything.

Damn. Even I don't have any flash bangs! I have to add that to my kit.
