Re: Dreadlocked dummy hung from tree in Brooklyn

Lornwolf it is a stereotype u a white smaddy will always have associated wid u...right r wrong...as just so di ting set...whites use to hang blacks...case done

now wid me i fight a stereotype dat is mostly fiction...case in point...Saturday I went in to a Winners store in CrossIron Mall..headed for the jewellery section , my fave place in any store....tastefully dressed in jeans an sweater, Coach purse in hand, 22 carat white gold ring wid rows of diamonds on one hand, multiple thin bangles made of sterling on other hand, Uggs on feet, i stood next to an old white haired ooman in her obviously George brand courtesy of Walmart...i describe my attire n look not to brag and hers ,not to disparage her....BUT as i approached her she quickly took her pleather handbag from the shopping cart n held it...i stood beside her as the she looked in the cases n i wanted to look at something i saw in said case..we talking an expanse of glass...she then moved her purse from her left hand since i was on her left, to her right....to mek sure of wat she was doing, i said excuse me to har an moved to har right..yep, purse now went firmly in front of har chest and straps were wrapped even shorted and more firmly around her frail wrist....she finished up her purchase n i had to wonder wat she found to buy at the counter since her bill was four dollar someting....to mek sure she knew that i knew she had stereotyped me, i politely asked her excuse and said to her, 'why as a white person do u assume i want to rob u, exhibited by ur dance wid ur purse?' ...she blushed, tried to look me in the eyes, blushed again n moved away

she didnt look at me an see a person juss smaddy black...but den again my fashionable attire n love of jewellery already had me thought to be a dealer since smaddy felt dem could ask me whe to get pain pills on the streets...ah sah...being black can be a trial on a daily basis....

all that to show how certain things bring certain associations....lynching , black smaddy round white women ...
