After all I wouldn’t want you all won’t ever have thought of sankofa being…extreme in his responses to the “right of white” attitude.

But I digress… I hope some youn uns catch what ever disease you two have and it becomes infectious. (He smiles nodding in pleasure)

I had an out of body experience at that moment..in fact it was June of 2003, outside of Belk’s at Southpark Mall..I can’t forget it. I literally saw my spirit remove itself from my body and tell me to “let go”….and I obliged. The door slammed this lady and her friend gasped and I never turned around..I just walked on in and didn’t look back. I know it hurt her, but it had to be done. I was at peace with it.

I thought I was the only nut capable of gettin ignant in these parts! That was classic.

While living briefly in both Memphis and Atlanta, I, too, had run-ins with haughty Southern whitefolk who thought, evidently, that my presence in a line was a mere proxy.

What was strange to me at the time was that other Blackfolk in line, Southerners all (indeed the offending white person was always the numerical minority, perhaps relying on her unspoken sense of white privilege) seemed perfectly content to let Miss Daisy (it was always a woman…) waltz her narrow ass right on up to the front and get served.

Umm, not on my watch.

But then the other Blackfolk on line (yes, we say “on” line in New York City), Black men and Black women, would scorn me and say that I shouldn’t oughta treat a woman like that.

Was I wrong? Maybe.

But I’ll tell you what I was right about: I had to get the %$#! off the Southern plantation and get back Uptown as quickly as possible! I’m glad I did because had I stayed down South, a blog would not have saved those overconfident white women or their unearned elevated status. Not that I would’ve put hands on anybody (I would never hit a woman – is that sexist of me?), but I do have sisters and lady cousins from off tha corner and ’round the way who would’ve beat her with her own Coach bag.

CoCo,
That Tifton Co is a trap spot…..I remember at least 5 others stopped within a 2 mile stretch right along with me….and to make matters worst I had a cop who acted extremely NICE, but the ticket was straight up bull!

Great post sista Miranda………..this website has saved a few white folks and some uncle toms I work with.

Anyway that heffa was all bark. I see that with my wife dealing with these yuppies and rich heffas here in Dallas.

My wife even says that these heffas are scared of black women and black folks in general.

Ain’t no fun if you can’t put the fear of the Lawd in them every now and then.
