I ask because this board looks pretty dead, but I know most, if not all of us have dealt with this before.

I'll go into the former another time, but as for the latter, I had one that I still look back on and laugh about. Back in the late 2013, I was at a dive bar in Dallas about 20 minutes before close and some guy was at the bar talking to a biker friend of mine and he just starts insulting Obama saying all kinds of stupid shit about him, but at least doesn't use the N-word because either he had some civility or he knew I was there.

Anyway, he gets to a point where he says Obama's "the worst president of all time" so I said very loudly that "he's doing a better job with what he's been given than whatever garbage candidates have been up against him could have done" (that's probably embellished, but is mostly accurate).

So a "debate" ensued. The guy twice stated (because I interrupted him with some hardcore facts about some bad presidents and what Obama had to deal with) that I, and most black people, voted for Obama because he's black.

So I shut him down immediately the second time instead of letting it slide like I did the first time. I don't remember any of the specifics after what my original points were, which should have been obvious to anyone concerned with facts. Black people generally vote 90% democrat in the presidential election and there were high voter turnout for everyone period.

So this is when he starts going from a somewhat condescending tone to a belittling tone, talking about how he went to college on an academic scholarship to USC and saying that I'd have been lucky to graduate from a community college. The bartender intervened after I said to him "please, like you're the only one that got an academic scholarship" and when he's suspicious of where, I pointed to my fucking Baylor University cap that I was wearing (graduated 2008).

The cherry on top though was that I overheard him telling his girlfriend and one of his buddies that he didn't actually graduate in between mutterings.

So I've shared a story, hopefully some of y'all will have some stories to share and if they're things that bug you, feel free to talk about it. I know that being called white bugged me for a long time and while it still does, it's only worth an eye roll and/or a flippant response.
