“Fuck off, you bloody kaffir!” the white racist bitch said

Posted on December 12th, 2007 by Richard Catto 20,257 views

So this past weekend some 41 year old white "lady" from Sea Point told a fellow South African who happened to be black to "fuck off, you bloody kaffir!" because he dared to get in her way on an escalator at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

The V&A security people intervened and suggested to the woman that she apologise but she declined their invitation so they took her to the Table Bay police station where she was arrested for crimen injuria. She paid a R150 admission of guilt fine and was released. Case closed and the cops refuse to indentify her. So we don’t know this racist white bitch’s name. Why the fuck not!?

I have some questions for you, dear reader. Please indulge me your answers to the following:

  • In your opinion, should she have been arrested for cursing someone out at all?
  • Is the fine appropriate for what she did?
  • Should her name be published or not?

You tell me what you think, and I’ll come up with an opinion in due course. Deal?

    I think if the words she had used didnt have a racist connotation then, no. I swear a fair bit for someone who considers themselves to be polite, so if cursing someone is justified than fair enough. In this case, however, not only is she swearing, but using racial epithets in a public place which, in itself, has no justification at all. Aside from being highly offensive, had the wrong kind of people been around the use of such words could have incited some kind of violence. Therefore, i think arrest and a fine are completely appropriate punishment. I cant comment much to the size of the fine ( i dont work in Rand here…. ) but i definately think her name should be published. If she is loud and proud ( or stupid… ) enough to be airing racist views in a public place, she should be able to stand by her words in the most public of places, the news media.

    How do we know she is white? The article doesn’t say and I know many coloureds and indians who use that word.

    Well the word “kaffir” means ” the child of the devil” . It originated when white people met black people for the first time and they though the black people was cursed because they had such dark skin.

    “As the story goes” like some say.

    Well that’s what I’m asking, Wade.

    Is calling someone a “fucking bitch” in public as bad as calling someone a racial epithet?

    Thing is I feel it is, and if I yelled at a woman in a shopping mall and called her a “fucking bitch” in public, I’m confident that security would intervene to stop a conflict situation escalating. They might also ask me to apologise.

    I don’t know what upset this woman, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the man she called a kaffir.

    Wade, it is very clear that some South Africans absolutely refuse to stop being racists.

    I’m done with the forgiveness trip. It’s an abject failure.

    I say we go the route of (legally) beating the crap out of racists until they get the message that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE and it NEVER WAS.

    Screw R150 fines. 12 months in jail for the first offence of abusing a person racially. No option of a fine.

    That woman was just an evil little shit. There’s no debate to be had with her. She needs to feel it, and making people pay money is a lost cause. The only thing that will truly make them pay attention is the total loss of their freedom for 12 months. No early outs. You serve the full 12 months, and more if you cause kak whilst incarcerated.

    Screw forgiving racists. That is just plain bullshit!

    Hving lived in South Africa,that was heard more times than saying good morning, then it that period of time,the poor African just had to lump it,as no policeman or any court of the country would have even worried to make it a case for complaint,but now that we are living in a supposed to be a real democracy and race in South Africa should not be a problem,this type of attitude is to be made a case for legislation and passed as a law of the country either way.But the fine in this case should have been about .300.00 Rand or a week behind bars

  7. Seeker of Truth Says:
    December 14th, 2007 at 04:41

    AND HER NAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED

     

  8. Leanne Says:
    December 14th, 2007 at 15:54

    Ayanda’s name was mentioned in the article, why not the woman’s?

    And if you were to call somebody a racist white bitch, that is unacceptable too. Probably won’t make the news though. The K word is more than just a word – all South Africans know that. Explaining the origins of the word is beside the point. Reminds me of the time the guy explained the origins of the swastika he was sporting proudly is actually a budhist sign. I’m sure that’s why he wears it.

  9. Richard Catto Says:
    December 14th, 2007 at 16:05

    Leanne, I think it’s okay to call someone a bitch if they are one, don’t you think?

    I find it unbelievable that that racist white bitch would dare to abuse a black person in that fashion.

    Honestly, I don’t think any white person calling a black person a “kaffir” should have the option of paying a fine. They should spend 12 months in jail.

  10. Richard Catto Says:
    December 15th, 2007 at 12:46

    Okay, how about every weekend in jail for four weeks – first offence? Thing is, its only the first time they’ve been convicted and you gotta know they’ve done it hundreds of times already, even if its only in their heads.

    It’s that total disrepect thing going on in their heads that we’ve gotta pound out of them. So, how long do you think they need to spend in jail to work through their angst?

    I reckon a person who screams, “kaffir!” at a black person in public has a serious attitude problem that only one entire year in jail is going to drive out.

    Racially abusing someone is not a trivial crime. It is serious. It completely humiliates a person. It is completely disgusting.

    Take Eugene Terreblanche for an example. That guy was totally obnoxious. He yelled racial obscenities at the drop of a hat and attacked a black person. He went to jail. Spent six years in prison and that turned him around.

    So I say, anyone who yells, “kaffir!” at a black person, must go to jail for 12 months.

    I want to hit racists hard. Very hard. Second offence is 5 years. Third offence 10 years. You don’t want to know what the fourth offence is. You’re not going to live that long.

  11. Ed Carson Says:
    December 16th, 2007 at 13:53

    A kaffir should be called a kaffir. Nothing wrong with that. It’s just calling things by their name. She should’ve refused to pay the fine. If I were in her shoes, I would’ve called the policemen kaffirs too. The fine is just another way for these corrupt cops to fill their pockets.

    Richard, if you think you will gain some sort of respect and appreciation from kaffirs for waging a crusader campaign against White South Africans, you’re in for a big surprise. And until you stop doing what you’re doing, I will say — PISS OFF!!!

    kaffir = kafur (Arabic) = non-believer
    umlungu = Causasoid = sea-scum

    A middle-aged white woman has some rude black male chauvinistically shove himself in front of her on an escalator in a shopping mall and she reacts spontaneously with a “Fuck off, you bloody kaffir” — and KUDO’S to this brave lady for ridiculing this obnoxious beast — then she gets arrested and fined R150.00?

    On SABC TV, radio, the internet, in print, in conversation… MILLIONS of blacks call white people umlungu all the time. Now any white Saffer with more than half a braincell knows full-well that the derivative of this disgusting term emanates from the Xhosa reference to the sea-scum that washes up on the beach after a storm…

    Go figure.

    So what do we do?

    Arrest the whole of black South Africa and send them to tjookie for 12 months?

    Richard
    I’m with you on this one. A house divided……
    A lot of countries have anti-hate laws that most definitely distinguish between anger/hatred directed at an individual and anger/hatred directed against an ethnic group. I think it is perfectly acceptable to hate Nazi’s -they are group defined by their views. I hate their views. There is more genetic difference between me and my sister than me and a black man. I am a caucasion of western european origin. I am, in fact, the same colour as a black man. The black man’s colour is more saturated than mine -he has more melanin producing cells than I do but his melanin producing cells are the same as mine. From a genetic perspective differences in skin colour are so trivial as to be of no importance. If I lean on my melanin producing cells I can become as dark as many africans. Colour is irrelevant. The challenge is bridging the cultural divide.
    You have a tough row to hoe but culture is learned. Note I am not implying that one culture needs to be assimilated. The shortest route is for each culture to add a bit that includes respect for other cultures.
    Good Luck

  14. Marko Says:
    December 17th, 2007 at 13:34

    Hey Philip
    I’m of the opinion that it’s not colour that’s the problem here. It is one person being stupid and calling another person by a derogatory name because perhaps she felt superior, was wronged and/or entitled to respect/whatever. If she was so wronged, why not just call him ‘asshole’ or ‘bastard’?
    This happens in all countries and as we’ve seen, and still see today can result in acts of genocide. Still somehow the world hasn’t learnt a lesson. Just Google ‘Darfur’ and you’ll see what I mean.
    I believe the problem is ignorance and lack of tolerance of other ethnicities or races and so I’m not sure whether beatings and/or jail time will cure that, especially seeing as our jails are already something like 160% overcrowded. It might even make the problem worse.
    Freedom of speech is great but so many people still don’t realise that one still has to take responsibility for one’s speech.
    I would say that we are probably lucky to have a small minority of racists in this country and probably if we ignore them they will go away by themselves.

  15. Richard Catto Says:
    December 17th, 2007 at 13:59

    Marko, I’m not sure that we have a minority of racists in South Africa.

    I think many, if not most, white South Africans (still) believe that a white person is intrinsically superior to a black person.

    I wonder how long it will be before white people, the world over, generally do not hold themselves to be a better race than others?

  16. Ed Carson Says:
    December 17th, 2007 at 14:50

    “white South Africans (still) believe that a white person is intrinsically superior to a black person.”

  17. gillian Says:
    December 17th, 2007 at 15:39

    This is a truly nasty incident. I disagree, however, with the suggestion that she should receive a 12-month jail sentence. I agree with Marko that this is more likely to be a case of someone’s bad day spilling out in a stupid way. This sense of superiority the woman suffers from would not be cured by a fine or by jail time (more likely to make her bitter and defensive). Far better to make her face the consequences of her actions there and then, by sitting down with the man she insulted and asking her to apologise and “mean it”. By looking him in the face, we would force her to acknowledge his humanity.

    Yes, it’s a bit like dealing with a three-year-old but that’s precisely how she has behaved:
    “Suzy, you hurt Johnny’s feelings when you said X. Now I want you to say sorry and mean it.”

  18. gillian Says:
    December 17th, 2007 at 15:43

    Ah, sorry, I should have read the whole IOL article first, it would seem that both bystanders and the police ask her on two separate occasions to apologise and she refused.

    I guess the question is: do we punish obstinate as well as stupid people? Hmmm.

    Don’t ask offensive dumb arse questions about unrelated matters.

    The subject is SOLELY about a woman racially abusing a black man.

    It is NOT about any perceived notions of black people committing criminal offences against white people.

    If you feel that black people are out there raping white people, then you might as well fuck off out of South Africa NOW.

    There’s too many damned racists in this country!!!

    They are FOR SURE, not going to stand on this fucking blog and spout their racism.

    sarah,its normal the world over that cops must seek to get petty information from a child about their parents like; does your father have a lot of money,where does your father work,does your father tellyou where he got the money,does he have a lot of strange friends or vice versa but ,it has to be done by social workers who are independent from the police and who are not racialistic and stereotyped.

    now in this case it was done by cops without the presency of social workers nor any adult like pre-school teachers or priests and it was unlawful and those cops and ishlove must be investigated.

    Yeah, racism…that is the issue, not the fact that no other race besides Blacks can qualify as psychologists, or the quotas or the BEE system. Imagine having someone unqualified replace you? Then you wonder why people become racists again, because they are pissed at the fact that they are being treated unfairly even though they had nothing to do with Apartheid, yet being blamed for it anyway. And people who voice their opinion are racist if it does not agree with yours…get your act together and sort out problems. BTW, this lady was born in 1967.

  32. Richard Catto Says:
    January 2nd, 2009 at 10:50

    @John: I was also born in 1967 and I don’t go around cursing black people out if they get in my way. In fact, I don’t do that to anyone who gets in my way.

    Nor do BEE and AA embitter me and cause me to become racist. I don’t feel unfairly treated at all.

    I don’t have any act to get together nor do I have any problems to sort out. That seems to be your problem as well as other racists. And, yes, you most definitely are a racist, because you are an apologist for racists.

    South Africa is no longer a haven for racists. I suggest you and all racists get the fuck out of South Africa as soon as possible.

    Nobody should go around hurling racist insults, but what exactly happened on the escalator? Did the dark complexioned person try to push in, maybe? Lots of people try to jump queues, race doesn’t come into it. But when a black person pushes in front of a white person in a queue at say, the post office, don’t whites automatically think, “Isn’t that just like a bloody k*****?” Of course, you don’t have to come out and actually say it.

    I would have thought the same as the 41 year old lady, but I wouldn’t have said the word out loud, out of fear of being persecuted.

    I don’t think someone should be arrested for cursing. I won’t make a big deal over R150, but someone suggested a week behind bars, which is nonsense.

    Calling someone “white bitch” is racist. Should someone get punished for saying it?

  39. Richard Catto Says:
    February 5th, 2009 at 19:18

    @Truth: Shouting obscenities at someone in a public place is a criminal offence. Blogging about it after the fact and describing her as a bitch is an insult and an opinion which does not constitute a public disturbance.

    The problem is that this woman created a public disturbance over a trivial slight. People get in the way of others all the time, and while it is annoying, it does not warrant a public racist outburst. The security are there to keep the peace and since the woman involved was unwilling to curb her unruly behaviour, she was arrested.

    I think people who still regard blacks as “kaffirs” are sick people in need of psychological help.

I wish they all fuck off back to South Africa they are certainly not welcome here. I rather have 100 polish to 1 south african. I am not saying all South Africans are bad that would be a terrible thing to say.

    Racism, like any unsubstantiated believe, stems from ignorance, which, if presented by a child, is a rectifiable omission in upbringing, but if shown by an adult points to a lack of intelligence: stupidity.
    This last condition is one that I personally cannot abide. Not in any person I deal with, no matter there skin color or ethnic origin.
    Now the unfortunate reality is that of all the peoples and races on this earth, it so happens that the black Africans, as a group, has overall the lowest intelligence, followed by the Europeans, with the Asian as the most intelligent group. This is a fact.
    There are stupid people in all these groups, and I here declare that I do not like, nor have any desire to associate with these stupid people.
    This does not make me a racist. I need to coin a new term to describe my stance: ‘stupidist’, (ha! this one can backfire) but I know you know what mean!

    Yes, the word “kaffir” originates from Egyptian or Arabic and means “non believer”.

    People use the word loosely in this shithole to deal with the compounding daily frustrations caused by the mass majority of over-populated undereducated “underprivaleged” inescapable swarm of hell that assaults a person no matter where one goes.

    Not made any better by our government of course, but then again, one can’t realistically expect the blind to successfully lead the blind.

    I think most whites just sit back and enjoy some comic relief in this place, although it does not make our lives any better.

    Road rage is road rage. Go to New York. Shout at someone. Express some anger. Throw a tantrum…………… you will eventually realise not to take everything so personally….. anger is anger……. if us whites did to you blacks what you did to us, you would either kill us or certainly shout back “Fuck off you fucking white bitch, and get out of my fucking country”. or something,.

    Never mind who the natives were civilized by, and forget the world wars, industrial and mechanical revolutions, …….. NO…….. us whites are just here ruining the place.

    Where would the natives be today if the white Europeans did not bring civilization to this stick-wielding place?

    This place and all the blacks and the majority versus the minority and just the sheer stupidity of eveybody makes me want to commit suicide.

    People susceptible to racial remarks should just get over “it” and get over “themselves” and stop blaming normal everyday behavior and frustration and expression of anger on “racial motives”.

    Eventually you will be called a racist for just farting in public.

    Stop hiding behind the color of your skin and grow up, and STOP blaming us whites for what you see in the mirror, and behave like an adult, and function normally, in a normally functioning society. The only thing holding South Africa up, is all this racist bullshit instigated against whites by non-whites.

    You colored people are the most racist people I have ever encountered – regardless of Mandela’s episode and the past etc.

    You will never stop.

    If all the whites had to leave tomorrow, you’d be in Delhi, or Nairobi.

    Why do you continue to make a BIG issue out of these things, instead of be an adult and just deal with it.

    Everybody, white or black or green, has the right to speak their mind.

    Nobody should be fined for shouting at somebody. There is NO LAW against that.

    @Sundeep Singh: Yea, as if Britain had no influence in South Africa. It is a commonwealth country after all.

    Hating South Africans is just as retarded as hating America for being ignorant fat people who think the world belongs to them.

    Secondly, South Africans of today were born here. We didn’t invade it. Where do White South Africans belong? Should we all kill ourselves and give the country back to its rightful owners?

    Apart from that, indigenous people from Africa were killing each other mercilessly long before white men came here. White people did not necessarily make it worse for black people. Why differentiate between a black people mistreating each other and white people mistreating black people? I thought we were supposed to look past skin colour.

    The word kaffir should be fully rehabilitated and reintegrated into everyday speech, then a new term of abuse for blacks would have to be coined. My suggestion follows . . .

    Im sick and tired of racism in South Africa, can we all grow a fucking brain and just live in peace??

    No… some people just cant forget about Skin Colour, its so important – some feel superior while others inferior based on it..

    What sort of looser fucker mentality is that?
    Its time People of South Africa took their heads out their arse and started thinking straight!

    The longer u cockheads take to do that(both black and white) the longer beautiful SA is destroyed.

    Peace

    I fully sympathise with the lady who has been targeted.
    In SA nowadays and everywhere else in the world it is only the “whites” who are racist, yet when a black has something derogatory to say to us it is oh shame they are so misunderstood and downtrodden give them a break. A LARGE majority of the blacks worldwide have one helluva chip on their shoulder and only once it has been removed will there be peace and understanding and the ability for us all to live together. For those who have this chip on the shoulder, sod off and get a life instead of making everyone else’s a misery.

    @yottieuk: No, you’re not an “X South African, you’re an “X WHITE RACIST South African”. I understand why you ran away from South Africa when Apartheid ended. Nothing can ever erase the past. Not the present. Not the future. What evil was done in the past will always haunt the present. White people can never atone for the past atrocities against black people. Never. Not a single thing we do now can balance out the evil our ancestors did to black people. We cannot erase the harm that slavery did, that discrimination did. Not even forgiveness can erase the past.

    So we all have to live with the fact that whether or not you personally feel it, white guilt is real and it is 100% deserved. White guilt can never ever go away. It is now a permanent feature of the white race. So for a white person to perpetrate even more offense against black people is completely unacceptable.

    Racism is a disease of the mind, and you are soaking in it. Please don’t come back to South Africa. Your kind is no longer welcome here.

    calling someone a white racist bitch is JUST as offensive and appalling as using the K word. In fact it”s worse, it means the person who did it is a case of the oppressed becoming the oppressor. Did apartheid teach us nothing? are the words of nelson mandela to be replaced by hatred and arrogance? and dont forget, we have not heard the story of the woman on the escalator. She has a right to be heard and not lied about. Is this a true story or just another excuse to white-bash? Even the Germans have moved on from their Nazi past. They LEARNT something, the hard way. No, don’t forget it, but don;t live in that place for ever. It kills your spirit to be so consumed by hatred, is that what you want to teach your children? And by the way, my ancestors were sold into slavery by the English. Do I still harbour a grudge? NO, because the world has changed and I want to change with it into a more enlightened age.

    @sarah: I feel very sorry for you if you think the word “bitch” is more offensive than “kaffir”. It is people like you, supporting this racist bitch, that makes her feel justified in her actions. South Africa does not need people with your racist attitude. Either you fully and unreservedly condemn racism, or you are part of the problem.

    If you think the Germans have moved on from their Nazi past, you are wrong. Germans will forever remain tainted with Nazism. It is not something they will live down in 1000 years. In 1 000 000 years time, Germans will still be strongly associated with Nazis, despite all attempts to separate the two. It is the same for Afrikaners and Apartheid. The only way for Germans and Afrikaners to escape it, will be if they could some how go back in time and kill Hitler and Verwoerd and all the other infamous people reponsible for Nazism and Apartheid. But since that is impossible to do, the only thing both Germans and Afrikaners can do is accept that they will forever be bywords and symbols of human disgrace. There is no soap strong enough to wash off the stench of Nazism and Apartheid.

    People lets face it. Outspoken has its do’s and cons.
    Yes the lady was outspoken and i disagree with that. All this talk about Arabic ect. is past tence. I worked and work with allot of black people and had one as a manager and he was the best i have ever seen. The way he did things, I CHALLENGE all races to this. Forget about your race and sex. Stop using it as an excuse for not having a job. Thats to all of us in SA! Black, White, Indian, Chinese, ect. Stop looking at the past and focus on the present and future. That’s where the secret of success lies. Leave Apartheid where it ended in ’95 and to all us white people, there is no excuse for not having a job. Not having one has many reasons. Not qualified, so stuck up ect. I can go on and on. Yes BEE. Thats no excuse. Learn, do, work correctly, have a positive attitude. I look at the youth before me and see a hand-full of ouks either lazy, not committed, or looks at BEE as not going to get a job. Thats bullshit! If you preform, positive, committed, have integrity and respect for all races, you WILL get the job! Using words like Kaffir,sea scum, riet kapper (Indian) is way on the waste of argument sense. If you have self respect, integrity good workmanship and BOLLS( sorry ladies) there is no stopping you. Hope my message opens a few eyes in SA. Oh and to Richard Catto About the soap thing… why use soap were you can use your head! Make apartheid part of SA history and STOP looking behind you. That goes to all South Africans!

    Crime, Roads, Dirty water, No power, corruption, terrorism, killing – - connect the dots- incompetence is rife in this country and the older generation is fed-up with the disrespect they experience from a great portion of the arrogant native youth. If Julius can have freedom of speech then so can a defenceless old lady. The fact that she is arrested appals me. Why is Julius still running rampant Mr. Richard?Should we not arrest him? I think threatening to kill someone is far worse…

    @kdroelofse: This is not about Malema. This story was published before Malema became widely known in South Africa. This is about a white woman, my age (42), calling a black man a kaffir in public because he happened to be in her way. There is no excuse for her actions. She should have been jailed for 12 months, so that every stupid racist white bastard left in this country gets the message that their kind is no longer wanted here.

    If that causes all the dumb racist arseholes like you to fuck off out of this country, good. If it doesn’t, we can make the sentence longer, until it persuades all the racists to jump into the deep blue sea.

    Well see this racist cunt has left the country and thank fuck as well you can keep your little friends and your corrupt government and all the ignorance in south Africa.

    Nou wat is jy dan Richard? Is jy ‘n kaffer of is jy ‘n goffel of is jy ‘n boer dat jy mense so haat?

    Let’s look at some facts here:
    Cape Town is the crime capital in SA. What colour is the perpetrators?
    The country’s jails are full of violent criminals. What colour is the perpetrators?
    How many whites have been arrested for cash in transit robberies?

    I suppose it must be because the entire justice system in SA is owned and driven by white supremists. Can’t possibly be because crime is a black thing.

    People change all kind of things in their lives. They even have sex changes. Good thing Richard Catto can’t go for a “race change” coz he will have to hate blacks then. Can’t imagine… he will then be white with a small penis. Maybe he can have a sex change after that.

    HI. I think we have grown a lot in this country since this article was written. I take myself as an example. In 2007 when you wrote this – I might not have thought to much about it. I would not have used that language but it would not have phased me. I know. When I read this today I got the chills and was really embarrassed for her part. On the same note in 2007 when you called her a bitch I would have smiled. Now I think…Are you not guilty of the same thing… Don’t get me wrong she is probably a bitch, but not for the word’s she used, but because she shops at the Waterfront! :)

    Fuck off you bloody kaffir!

    You probably deserved it every bit of the way!!!

    Forget “growing in this country”. 3131 dead farmers since 1994 makes compromise for the said piece of “Fuck off, you bloody kaffir” to be more than appropriate for what these mundts deserve!!!

    I came across this and I would like to say the following:

    Please, the rest of the world especially USA, kindly butt out of South Africa’s racial issues as number one, Americans are of the most racist and number two, if you don’t know what the real story is then please refrain from commenting. The British are even worst as I do not see a black lady as a princess and I can go on, the list is endless. This has become a crutch to the world. Let us here live our own darn lives. We seriously do not need no ones approval.

    Oh and since I am now talking, it irritates us tremendously that the black americans call themselves, African American, Really? Were all of them born in South Africa? I have never heard a British black person calling him or herself a African Brit or the black people in France calling themselves African French!

    Im utterly disgusted that we still have people in this beautiful country who think like this. Most comments posted here are disgusting. What this woman said is wrong! Forget race, its about morals..HUMANITY. We are all human after all, although some people here would like to believe that only some races are human and some are not. Before we can classify you as black or Indian, female or male, Nguni or English speaking, we first and above all classify you as a human being! Wake up! We are the same species, no point in fighting really. Nxa! Its all so bloody stupid. We should be concentrating on something more worthwhile, like our education system or something, instead of having to deal with people who think color is so freakin important! She should have gotten a more heavy fine and her name should have been printed in bold letters and a big ass font!!

    Someone said the 3131 deaths of farmers since 1994 justifies what this woman said. Oh come on!! Since you into stats, 21000 blacks died during apartheid, of which 14000 died in the six-year-transition process from 1990 to 1994. So does that justify blacks killing farmers? Don’t patronize us, our people suffered immensely! But I rather we not dwell on that. killings don’t fix jack or justify anything for that matter. Pointing fingers is blatantly pointless! We could go back and forth about this, but the underlying fact is that, killing each other is wrong, treating each other like crap is wrong, and what this woman said was wrong! Period! And if it had been a black person saying something politically incorrect to a white guy, i would still be just as furious as i am right now. We cant treat each other like this. Makes no sense what-so-ever!
