Black man tried to intimidate me for money yesterday
Personal experience | 30 November 2016 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 11/30/2016 7:35:02 AM PST by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

It has never happened to me like this before. Yesterday, I stopped at a little taqueria just east of Austin to get something to eat. As I was waiting, a big, stocky black guy holding a roll of paper towels under his arm came up to me and asked me if I wanted my windshield cleaned for $1. I said, "No, I'm good." He kept on, saying "Hey, just give me $1. Can't you see I'm trying to work to get money for a taco?"

I politely declined, telling him my finances were tight due to car repairs and trying to pay for school for my son. He began to get upset and then looked at me and said, "You're racist!" and some other babble I didn't quite catch. He looked at my wedding ring and said he used to have one, but he sold it. I asked him, "How can I be racist if my wife is a native of Mexico?" "Why would I marry a Mexican if I were racist?" He shot back, "She's not black!"

The poor little woman in the taco trailer told him she'd make him a taco for free(to shut him up) and he settled down. Now, my question is this: Is this a hate crime, trying to extort money off of people as they go to a taco trailer trying to get something to eat? What if I were to have tried that on someone? Police probably would have been called. This has left me with a really bad taste in my mouth. I blame Obama and all Democrats for this. They have so divided people that a lot of blacks have been enabled in treating everyone else in an abusive manner. My CCW was in the car which kept me from telling the man what I wanted to tell him and things probably would not have ended well for the street thief. How sad to put oneself in a position to die over trying to extort $1 off of someone. This nation is going to hell in a handbasket.

You must be speaking from the ignorance of the non-ever-accosted.

Where do you keep that thing, anyway? In the glove compartment????? There are much better places than your purse. too unless it is built for CC. It is all on the internet.

Don’t bother trying to defend yourself against “racism.” If someone says that to me, I just shrug and stare at them. I’m done. That crap doesn’t work on me anymore.

Were I you, I would have just left and gone to another place for food.

So I have to leave and go somewhere else? Sounds like a 3rd world country environment. Oh well...

Isn’t Liberia a black nation actually formed by blacks from the USA? How has that worked out?

If it is a wonderful growing and glowing concern, I suggest Keith and his merry band leave and go to Liberia. I will not miss them and there are many happy American Blacks who would take their jobs here in the terrible ol’USA.

The Romans lasted for hundreds of years.

The world has sped up exponentially since ancient times. There is a reason humanity progressed more in the 20th century than the other 19 combined.

I’m surprised 0bola didn’t automatically include those phone cc swipers with his free iPhones.

Make shakedown of whitey/distributing the wealth much easier!

If they are nice, polite, humble, I'll do that.

Yeah...it was the way he said, not the words he used. He was VERY aggressive.

Cops take a dim view of drifting in the DC Metro area. :)


Yeah. I got a ticket on the “main road” part of my commute a couple of years ago, and it was because of the car. I was going with the flow at 69 in a 55 in rush hour on a two lane main highway and he picked me out.

A few months later he was nice enough though, as we waited in line at Tractor supply, each of us with a couple of bags of chicken feed.

On the twisties (about 2/3 of my commute) cops are not an issue. It’s DEER! I threaded the needle between two of them at 60 mph one time. I mean a foot from each of them on either side of me. Must’ve scared the crap out of them.

I was doing roughly 85 on one of those 55mph back roads last summer at dusk in a long valley and saw a couple of cars speeding toward me in the other direction a couple of turns ahead (about a half mile). When they passed me, I could see they were state troopers. One hit his roof lights just for a second a few hundred yards behind me and I reciprocated by turning on my flashers. Just local boys sayin’ “hi”. :-)

SA is an expansion of what we normally do it just entails a more acute an eye toward personal safety than we are used to.

We don't stick our fingers in a fan, touch a hot burner on the range, walk down dark alleys. But, now we have to be aware that not all people are friendly or trustworthy.

I’ve had a few close calls, but no tickets yet. You get good at spotting police cars where I live. I do have one stretch of road that is nice and flat and has little traffic on the weekends. I can blow the carbon out good if I’m careful. On normal work days every road around here is pretty much locked up solid.

I live in a city with a lot of blacks. They hang out on street corners so they can tap your window when you stop at a light, and they ask for a quarter. That’s it..a quarter.

They hang out in store parking lots roaming around asking people who are putting their groceries in the car..for a quarter. Just a quarter.

So, a couple of weeks ago this black man approached me in a walmart parking lot and asked me for a quarter. I honestly didn’t have one, I didn’t have any money at all, not even a few pennies. I was at the store only because I’d given my neighbor a ride to the store.

So, when he asked me for a quarter, I said...sure! I’ll give you my quarter in exchange for YOUR $10 bill! He laughed and walked away! That’s all it took!

My wife’s ex-boss had a Genesis. That was the nicest “Hyundai” I ever saw. Turbo?

BTW, the cop that got me here was using the radar as he approached from the other direction. It is the method of choice around here.
