My father (Who I'm sharing an apartment with) called me and offered to give me a ride home from work, and we'd hit gamestop (I was heading there on my bike) on the way back. I ride to where I usually meet him, wait ten minutes, and then turn back thinking me might have passed me, or gone the other way, thinking I'll meet him there. Instead, five minutes after I turn around and head back to the area my work is in, he pulls up, pissed of that I wasn't where I was supposed to be. He refuses to take me to Gamestop (The only fucking reason I took him up on his offer), and instead drives back to the apartment, sayng that we'll go in a little bit, we'll take my Little Brother along with us... Despite the fact that I want to buy GTAV and don't want to have to deal with my eight year old brother wandering into my room and demanding he watch me play despite the fact that he's not supposed to go in there without permission (He does it all the time when I'm playing something he can't watch/want to be left alone.), and the fact that I can't play it if he is going to watch me.
Anyway, long story short, we never fucking go because he's too god damn lazy to get off his fat ass and does't believe me that it closes at 6pm, insisting that we'll go at 7 and by the time I finally convince him to get going... my little brother gets upset and almost has a hissy fit because an hour before dad promised we'd play Sorry! with him. So... We don't get to go because my little brother demands dad upholds his promise, despite the fact that he was going to fulfill a promise he had made earlier. Even better, the next time I'll be able to hitch a ride there is in a week, and Gamestop wont accept the 75$ gift-card I got for my birthday two weeks ago online, and it wants 10 dollars for shipping that would get me it by Wednesday.
Oh, and the reason he was late? He got off the phone and decided to continue the game of Battleship he and my little brother were playing. If you are going to call someone that you'll get them, go fucking get them instead of waiting for fifteen minutes and THEN getting them, especially when the fucking weather outside is below freezing.
So I'm just generally pissed off now, and the fact that I have to ride my bike up there tomorrow in potentially below freezing temperatures because someone can't fucking be bothered to do what they said they were going to do isn't helping.
Bauglir, if a black guy is going to paint himself in Whiteface, he shouldn't get pissy about Blackface. Double standards are bullshit.
But if it was just Whiteface/Blackface in general, I agree with you.
At the same time, however, political correctness has a limit, and at times it shouldn't be enforced. Hence why you never hear about the Black on Black crimes / Black on White crimes, just the White on Black crimes lately. I can't remember the newspaper, I think it was the NY Times (But I could be wrong. I know it was a big one, however) , but the man who owns it has flat out said he refuses to allow his paper to cover Black on Black /Black on White/ Black on other minorities crimes because he doesn't want to be seen as 'Stereotyping Black men' by reporting the actions of criminals.
