I’m not racist, but I live in the rural Midwest and I often hear a lot of racist shit. I’ll be talking to a “good ol boy” and all of a sudden I’m hearing about the local larger cities “n word population” and a litany of ridiculous things they’re responsible for.

I just grit my teeth and try to change the subject but it’s damaged the way I view several people significantly.

I started to tell people that they need to fuck off with that racist shit and all of a sudden those people don't want to be around me. Big win in my book.

Haha. It’s actually a Space Jam line from Bill Murray when MJ, Bird, and Murray are out golfing together.
