During lunch today, I walked over to a local establishment for lunch. Upon exiting the establishment, a guy walks up to me and the conversation goes a little something like this:
Dude: Hey can you help me out so I can go in here and get something to eat?
Me: Sorry, I can’t help you out
Dude: Psssssst ( and stomps off)
Me: Sorry, I can’t help you out
Dude: Psssssst ( and stomps off)
He walks away a bit then turns around and starts yelling at me “can’t even help a black man out” “MF’s think they too good for other N’s”, and some other crap that I couldn’t decipher.
Am I my brother’s keeper?? Am I obligated to give him $$ that I work hard for to help him get something to eat(or whatever else) JUST because we are both black men? Mind you, as I’m sitting in the establishment, I watched him walk out of the establishment right next door with a big @$$ winter coat on and it’s 70+ degrees outside..so I had a feeling of what he might’ve been up too, and the money he was asking for most def wasn’t going to go for food!
I am proud of myself for not turning around and saying anything to him while he was ranting. For those that knew me a few years ago, that DEFINITELY would not have been the case…LOL
