: : One time I bought an X t-shirt from a headshop. Jesus-CHRIST! You know
Ahhhh! The perverbial rednecks of NC... I would have asked him, "What is a race traitor? Are we on teams? I think not. Last time I checked this was AMERICA BUDDY!" That should have gotten the crowd on your side.
I learned that from Sgt. Slaughter, back in the day. Always get the crowd on your side.
Besides I don't think you had anything to worry about. Anyone who wants to beat someone up because of a t-shirt probably doesn't have the mental capacity to fight good any how.
You could have also said "Nice flack jacket asshole. Feel like testing it out?"
I grew up in Dallas, I know how to deal with rednecks.
Stormin!
how many people stopped me and asked me "Why are you wearing a Malcom X shirt? Didn't you know that he hates white people?"
: Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous...I have a t-shirt that says "Kill Whitey" (No, I'm serious) and I was wearing last spring break on the way down to South Beach...we stopped at a rest stop in NC, and this old guy in a flack jacket was seriously wanting to kick my ass, calling me a "traitor to my race" and everything...hell, if I think back, at least half my t-shirts have stuff on them that's gotten either my ass kicked or pretty damn close...I'm sort of hurt that my personality is so vacant people have to hate my fashion-sense instead...
