Had a crazy racist thing happen to me last night. Wish I would have started recording.

So my parents are visiting from Missouri, here in Oregon. They are staying with some friends at one of those gated older folks communities. So I went over to visit.

I pull into the place and see there’s a key code gate entry. I don’t have the code yet but As I’m pulling up, I see my mom walking up to the gate. Cool, she’ll just open it for me so I’ll pull forward. Literally 10 seconds after pulling forward, this old white lady appears in her car behind me. Starts honking her horn. I’m thinking damn chill lady, she’s about to open the gate.

Well the clicker my mom had wasn’t working. Cool I’ll just enter the gate code when she gives it to me. This lady keeps honking and throwing up her hands. AND she’s right on bumper. So my mom walks around and talks to the lady. “Hi there mam, sorry for the hold up. I’m visiting friends that live here. They gave us the clicker to open up the gate but it doesn’t seem to be working right now. Would you mind clicking open the gate so my son can get through?”

The lady: No. you can type in the code.

My mom: oh they didn’t give me the code, could you type it in? Also My son can’t back up because you’re so close to his bumper.”

The lady: it’s secret. (Rolls up her window)

So I pull inches away from the gate to try and get enough room to backup around the lady. As I’m backing up the lady rolls her window down and yells at me “IM TrYiNG TO GeT Around YoU!!”

I saw calmly, “I can see that mam, I’m trying to let you by but there’s not much room.”

Then this old bag says “you’re not even allowed in here anyways. They don’t let any of your people live here. That’s why I moved here because there’s no coloreds.”

I was god damn floored. I’ve only ever experienced non-Chalant ignorant racism. Never full blown bold bigotry. I totally froze up and didn’t even know what to say so I just said “go **** yourself lady!”

She clicked the gate open, sped through, and rapidly clicked it closed as fast as she could. Wish I could have had an actual convo with her. Anyways, my parents friends called and gave me the code. I drove right past the lady’s house and got mean mugged. I’m sure the cops were called.

It’s sad that people or so crap scared of POC even in their secluded little gated communities. Probably the most exciting thing that happened to this old bag in ages. She probably can’t wait to tell all her bingo buddies about how her life was in danger and she protected the community from such dangerous people.

Sorry that happened to you. Sucks. But you know, I'm at the point now where I assume every white person I encounter could possibly be a racist sack of horse crap. So I minimize all of my interactions with them to what is necessary to conduct business at that moment, and that is the extent of it. Doesn't mean I'm rude or impolite, if someone says hello or good morning, or holds the door open for me, I will respond accordingly. But that's how I am now until I see they are worthy of my further attention. Call it the sad reality.

Honestly that’s how I’m getting now. It is sad. Like I don’t trust being around white people anymore. Which is racist in itself. I just feel so much more comfortable and at ease being in a room full of minorities. Mexican, African American, Asian, whatever. I didn’t always think this way. Honestly the change for me came when trump got elected. Difference had been night and day with the way white people act. He empowers the racists.

Side note: I think that’s how racists felt about Obama. He empowered the blacks and Muslims, according to the racists. “Black lives matter and isis will go away once Obama is gone. Let’s make America great again.”

Man, i live overseas and seeing as im literally an african american, i aint talking politics with anyone I dont know especially americans.

I used to stay getting into arguments with the good ole boys that worked for exxon mobile, marathon, shell etc...

Now that trump is president, i've been avoiding them altogether.

I had a white Israeli dude tell me the sovereign state of Palestine never existed. Called it a day ever since.

Yo! I’m the exact same way.

I had a black co-worker passed out on the Break room table from dehydration, it was only me an a white guy in the room, who supposedly a superior in my job. I jumped up from my seat and helped my co-worker while the pile of ish white dude was just looking at him suffering with no urgency to help.

File a police report.

You have her address. Give them the same energy they give us.

Or at least file a complaint to the owners of the complex.

White kids and women who are middle class / well off actually steal more than you think. There was a story a few weeks ago this middle class white chick stealing ppls UPS packages from their porches.

Think about it it’s prob easy for White people to steal in grocery stores because everyone in the store thinks blacks and other minorities are stealing so they’re watching people of color while white people get to steal without being watched by workers.

Racial profiling and it consistently happens to me. That's why approach the person following me.

I worked at a grocery story for a spell and worked w/ an older white lady. She was nice and everything, she would always bring bags of food towards the end of her shift over to where we worked to take home. After I quit, store security told me they caught her stealing, come to find out, she finessed em for $10k worth of product
