I was driving to the supermarket and stopped at a red light. I was sitting there looking straight ahead, thinking about what I was going to buy for Thanksgiving. The light turned green, and suddenly a flurry of activity to my left caught my eye, and a black man driving in the opposite direction was making an obscene gesture with his middle finger at me. I never saw him before in my entire life, and there was no rational reason for what he was doing. I managed to flip the bird back at him as he drove by, but that incident put me into an ugly mood. All the way to the supermarket, I was saying to myself, "that God damn filthy n____." Even while I was shopping I could not get back into my normal happy mood. I am not a redneck but actually liberal when it comes to race relations, civil rights, and equal opportunity. However, if insulted, I will insult back, and if stepped on, I will fight like hell.
