Apparently that's what I'm doing.  Yep, I say such inflammatory things as "a man is equal to any other man regardless of skin color" or because I didn't own slaves nor did anyone in my family, I "don't have an ounce of guilt in my body".  For that, I'm fueling a race war.  If it were only that simple.


You see, her racism only took place "20 years ago".  


It has been 10 years since I experienced racism while passing through North Mpls.  I lived off of Lowry in Nordeast 10 years ago and I drove Lowry on my way to work.  During the summer of 1999, I had a woman yelling at me at a stoplight on Lowry, calling me a "White Mother Fu**er" and telling me to get out of her neighborhood.  I obliged and went on my way home.

So last night, My kickball team had a game, and a number of us decided to meet at our home bar (the 1029 bar in Nordeast) for a quick drink prior to game time.  From my work, I can drive down Broadway (through North Mpls) and it's a straight shot to the 1029 bar in Nordeast.  I have driven this route many times, but last nights drive was especially interesting, and quite humorous.
