just commenting on some shit

If you’re a regular reader you all know who Michelle is. She’s this younger chick who I love and consider my closest friend. We spend a lot of time together and do a lot of the shit that best friends do. And I’m the first to admit that when we’re out together in public we make an impression on some folks due to the extreme opposite thing we have going on. Call it black man, white woman, older black man and younger white woman. You can even call it what’s the hot chick doing with that big ugly muthafucker? It’s one of those things the two of us never pay attention too. But last night we were out doing some shit and we decided to stop off and pick up some dinner. We walked into this Subway shop in Westport and the chick came out of the back to handle our order. She saw the two of us together and if her fucking jaw had tightened up any harder she would’a cracked a tooth and shit. Neither of us paid her any mind, just gave her the order and paid for the shit then left. I’m not gonna speak for Michelle but being black and quite a few years her senior, I’ve been exposed to all kinds of racial shit all my life and I’ve never been down with any of it. Life is hard enough as it is, so why go thru life hating muthafuckers because of the way they look? Is that gonna make shit any easier? It’s all bullshit as far as I’m concerned and I’ll be the first one to tell you that to your face. And to pull attitude because I’m black and she’s white, that makes about as much sense as someone telling me I’m not black enough. Bitches, I’ve been black for forty-six fucking years of my goddamned life, and if I’m lucky enough to have a friend that not only loves me but puts her trust in me and can wrap her head around the decidedly odd up way I tend to think, then goddammit that's some priceless shit to me. I don’t even know why the fuck I’m writing about this except that sometimes the “cultural” shit I run into offends the fuck out of me.
