you know wolf.... im starting to think that alot of people who tend to throw racism at other people to their face will only do it if they are going 90 MPH and probabally never see you again.... Not once I have met a person face to face who said blatant racism to me and meant it...... I have friends that talk ish and throw a few one liners here n there but thats all in good fun and I even throw in my jokes at them.

so in actuality they are all cowards!!! No one is going to say racism to your face unless they want an ass whooping...

I once had a girlfriend who came up to me and said it was all OK. When I asked what that was supposed to mean, she said her parents were asking about me, and how they heard Hispanics were lazy and mistreated their women. This after I met this girl in college, had traveled the world, etc. When she supposedly defended me, her parents then approved.

But this chick was still never able to understand how insulted i was that someone actually felt the need to defend me because of these stupid thoughts. People really are idiots.

999, don't worry about these haters. You're exactly right that they're all cowards.

One night I was going home from college after an evening class. I had to go down a set of stairs to get down to the lower level parking lot. There were these 2 skaters sitting at the top of the steps, and when I walked past them one of them called me the exact same thing that you got called. I stopped dead in my track, looked straight ahead for a few seconds to try to calm myself down (and think of the best way to attack). Then I turned around and looked straight into his eyes and said, "What'd you say?" He had that dumbass look on his face like "who? what? me?". And he just says, "Nothing". I had already decided in my head that if he repeated it again, I was going to grab him by the collar and throw him down the steps, then grab the skateboard and whack his friend across the head with it.

I was young and dumb. Racism was my soft spot when I was growing up. I got into so many fights with losers like these (mostly high school). After maturing a bit I realize how pointless it was. I was trying to prove something I guess. You can't change these kinds of people bro. They're like Kobe haters. They believe what they believe, no matter what the reality is. Just worry about the things that are in your control. You can't control what ignorant people say to you, but you can control how it effects you. So just keep on doing what you do and stay positive.

Racism = ignorance. You just have to decide how much time of your life you are going to waste worrying about, thinking about, arguing with, and fighting with ignorant a-holes whose mind you will never change anyway. I have seen many faces of racism, and most of them are young and stupid. Don't waste your time, especially on a stranger that you'll never see again. Now if they put their hands on you, or get in your face or threaten you, then it is on. But most of the time it's just verbal crap.

The traffic situation reminds me of what I have to constantly go through, also... Someone thinks, that just because you're speeding up, to avoid traffic jams, that you are one of those speedfreaks, that doesn't care about going 100+ mph.

Sounds like this was just one of those drivers that considers ego games, first, above public safety. If you spot one of these jokers, behind you, it's best to just merge with the slower traffic (as long as it's moving at a decent pace), and let the psychotic demon pass by... Of course, if the weirdo refuses to pass you, you've got some really big problems... Obviously, the rascal has targetted you, or he/she is trying to use you, as the lead speedster, that gets the speeding ticket... Yup, if you live so long, everyone has experienced this problem. The name calling just proves what mindset this creature has... Eventually, this guy will meet some bad trouble... It is Kharma...

I totally believe you but I'm just curious, how could you actually hear him SAY 'sand (bleep)' while driving like 75?

I'm Paki by the way, don't let the fool's get to you.
