Two days later, I'm at the ATM and he does the same thing w the black securty guard who was petting him. I tried to tell him the dog doesn't like uniforms, citing the mailman and UPS man as examples, but I accidentally said, "you know, because the mail man is bl..." I stopped short and we just stared at each other for what felt like eternity. I broke it with, "Well, have a good day, man."

This just reminded me of something. I had a phone that had gotten wet and only the loudspeaker would work when I talked on it, so everyone could hear the person on the other side when I was on it. I was in Wal Mart buying shotgun shells and as I was waiting in the checkout line, surrounded by black people, my dad calls. I answer it, with phone on loudspeaker and first thing out of his mouth is "let me tell you what this stupid ni$$@# just did"
