People blow me away.......

[THE HCP]

I'm standing in line at Subway about a 1/2 hour ago. Guy in front of me was about 6'6", African-American and happened to be wearing a Blazer Adidas sweat jacket. Woman next to us says hey are you with the Blazers while patting him on the shoulder. He says, excuse me ma'am, would you please not touch me. She got all offended and said, "Well sorry! Your tall and........ wait for it.......... COLORED, so I just assumed!" She called this guy colored!!!! He didn't even really go off either. He just said how rude that was of her to call him that and she made a big scene saying, "Sorry I'm not so politically correct!" I felt like I was back in the 50's. Then as he left I said,"Hey BOY, you forgot your chips!" (Last part was a joke)

 

[RR7]

So who was it? Brandon? Martell?

 

[BlazerWookee]

So who was it? Brandon? Martell?

It certainly wasn't Jarret Jack. He would have said "You don' 'posed to be touchin' me..."

 

[The Sebastian Express]

We're all colored.

 

[RR7]

YOU LIE!

wow, that is crazy. Did she actually go "Your (sic) tall and .......wait for it.......COLORED"?

Is she the old lady version of Barney Stinson?

 

[Eastoff]

You know 6'6" really isn't that rare. I am 6'5" but I'm white. Where were you that this happened, like what part of town? I think if it really was a Blazer, HCP would recognize his face. Maybe not Dante, but he's 6'8"...

 

[maxiep]

Colored? C'mon, get with it. They're negroes. Sheesh. Hasn't she seen a segregated fountain recently?

 

[THE HCP]

Right on N.E.39th and Sandy. He wasn't a Blazer, he was just some guy!

What? There was a tall negro in Portland that wasn't a Blazer? Is that even legal? Was he at least in town trying out for the team?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Are they having the tryouts at Grant? Why would you want to be in Hollywood?

 

[tlongII]

People blow you?

 

[THE HCP]

You are all skinheads........... leave me alone!

 

[julius]

You are all skinheads........... leave me alone!

all of us? But I made fun of the old lady...

 

[maxiep]

You are all skinheads........... leave me alone!

Okay you got me. But I'm not a skinhead willingly. It's not my fault my bald spot is growing.

 

[Idog1976]

I hear you HCP. See my comment about compassion. People seem to think they can say whatever they want, which they can but it doesn't mean it isn't hurtful, rude and in some cases frighteningly devoid of compassion.

 

[Eastoff]

see that's the problem right there. Blazers stay in LO West Linn and Dunthorp.

 

[yakbladder]

HCP, why did your mom say that?

 

[PapaG]

You CANNOT go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent ... I'm not joking.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

I have been called colored probably twice in the past year. It's funny to me though. I don't find it offensive really.

Indian "dot" or Indian "feather"?

I'm pretty sure i can go to a 7-11 or a dunkin donuts and i don't have a slight Indian accent.

 

[Rodolfo]

Slurpee Indian or Casino Indian

 

[santeesioux]

Hell yeah, us Casino injuns always be hanging around 7-11s!

Yep, a direct quote. I have to laugh that people didn't get the reference.

Joe Biden said this, not me.
