I was waiting on a bus o...Hi, gocart. Coupla adds:<br /><br />I was waiting on a bus once in the historically predominantly black section Pasadena, and was a little uneasy, being young and white and way off my turf.<br /><br />..and then a van went gaily by, with "Whitey's TV Service" emblazoned on the side. Wondered at the time "who the hell in this part of town is gonna call Whitey's TV Service?"<br /><br />Once was chatting with a black friend in a bar and got off a good line, at which he exploded in laughter and shouted "Nigger, Please!" (common vernacular at the time).<br /><br />Short moment or two of silence as we tried to figure out whether a protocol of some sort had been shattered, but I recovered quickly with "I'm not a negro" in my best stick up the ass white country club accent. We laughed some more.<br /><br />Last, agreed on "political correctness," which I believe was hijacked from liberal self-deprecating humor by conservatives who wouldn't know self-deprecating humor if it bit 'em.<br /><br />First instance I heard was back in the sixties, when I overheard my older sister and her college friends discussing whether or not to shave their legs. They decided against it, memorably saying that this was, after all, more "politically correct." Feminist chicks, man, what're ya gonna do?<br />Chris Vosburgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144024799668844185.post-71473561062730412802013-06-18T12:12:09.709-04:002013-06-18T12:12:09.709-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710646598602869363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144024799668844185.post-2847596254048390392013-06-18T12:10:38.657-04:002013-06-18T12:10:38.657-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710646598602869363noreply@blogger.com
