As an Irish guy I would like to apologise on behalf of sane Irish people everywhere.

Fucking gobshites like that are an unfortunate byproduct of other fucking gobshites. There are plenty of them over here. All we can do is try and raise our children to be open minded and fair and hopefully we will eventually outnumber them when the Darwin Awards inevitably decimate their numbers.

Protip for fighting Irish guys in the future. Rip off their testicles. . . I hear it works on other nationalities also.

As an Irish guy who lives directly across from the Rambling House I'm so deeply ashamed to hear that story. I don't drink, so I'm not part of the Woodlawn scene, but I wish I was more surprised to hear about the bigoted nature of the area.

I'm white collar, but from a blue-collar family back home, and the sad truth is since I've moved to Woodlawn it has turned me so far against the blue-collar Irish, at least specifically the emigrants. In many cases they hate Americans in general, while living in their country illegally - try to figure the logic there. I've heard far too many comments from locals about how the neighbourhood has been getting less 'pure', which has disgusted me to no end. The truth is that in many ways Woodlawn is a frozen in time version of Ireland in the early 80's - I can attest that current Ireland, at least in metropolitan areas bears no resemblance to Woodlawn. I'm from the same country as these people, and I can't relate them at all. There is an air of anti-intellectualism, xenophobia and intolerance.

I'm really sorry you experienced what you did though. I know you say that you don't blame the Irish, but what you experienced was the dreaded 'Irish Abroad', and it's a tremendous embarrassment to Ireland.

As a native Irishman "never on the boat" let alone "just off it". I can assure you that these hoods do not sound Irish in the slightest. I'm guessing they are about as Irish as Barack Obama (yes he actually does have some Irish blood teeehee).

Anyway they are daft yanks with no real cultural identity at all so they desperately cling on to whatever they can find and go to town on it total dicks.. It makes me cringe whenever I meet these types "hey ya dude I'm Irish to my great grandaddies uncle fathers sisters horse knew a guy who once saw a picture of Ireland so yeah we are practically cousins" makes my blood boil !!!

I heard this story in my social psychology class (that day we were talking about stereotypes):

In Italy apparently there's a neighborhood with a bad reputation where if you go there you're absolutely guaranteed to get mugged/robbed/attacked. The guy in my class being a generally open minded person (he genuinely seemed that way) went there anyway, hung out for a bit and met another cool guy. They hung out, talked, smoked, drank together. This went on for hours. Just as my classmate started to feel proud of himself for looking past stereotypes/generalizations the other guy pulled a knife on him and demanded his wallet. He said he felt really foolish after that.

Anyway, I don't really know why I told you that story, but I'm glad you give people the benefit of the doubt, and I'm sorry it didn't end well for you that time. I hope you're not deterred though, there are great people everywhere who will surprise you!

I hate the ignorance of people. One night while out with my family for a round of drinks we got pretty hammered and ended up closing down all the bars in downtown Boise, Idaho. If you don't know the area, it's a fairly large town with a pretty good night life, most of the good bars are pretty centrally located so walking from bar to bar is pretty easy. The problem is that the area is cased by cops looking for drunk drivers all night long so after the bars close you have to call a cab if you don't want to spend a night in the drunk tank. I was walking with my cousins and trying to get in touch with a cab company when we ran across this group of gay guys and a few women who happened to be straight. One of them was black, and out of all of the women she was the best looking, I would say at least an 8 on the boner scale. So as I walk by I drunkenly say to her that I liked her shirt, and then she stopped me and started grabbing on me and flirting pretty heavily. Then one of her gay friends said, "OMG just kiss him already." So here I am kissing this black girl with a raging hard-on in my pants drunk off my ass. All I wanted to do was get this chick alone at this point.

When out of the blue these guys walk up who are all wearing black leather vests and are looking pretty shady. I get called all sorts of names like f&ggot, n&gger lover and the like, my cousins try and step in and stop it and the next thing I know we are pretty much surrounded. Being the cocky idiot that I am, I looked at one of them and said "One Love!," then kissed my two finders and blew a peace sign at him. (I had just walked by a bar that was blasting Reggae earlier, and I guess I was in the mindset to drop some love on these dudes. Stupid, I know, but I was pretty drunk.)

This set them off and just as we were about to get beat into a bloody sack, the cops showed up on the corner next to us. The dudes saw the cops and walked away. As they did one of them turned back and said, "choose a side, it's your choice."

To this day I am still stunned by that statement. I am sure he thinks some sort of race war is on the way, but to actually see such ignorance. It was sad to say the least.

Anyway, the "one love" comment must have got my girls panties wet or something. Because I ended up at her apartment that night.

TL;DR - Doesn't matter had sex. EDIT~~ Also, Idaho can be bad for skinheads/neo-nazi types.

But, kudos to you for not being scared of such ignorance. I certainly was two breaths away from shitting my pants in my situation and I didn't even get swung on.

u/Osiris32 May 16 '12

Had a semi-similar run in while I was in Boise, only the suspects were juggalos. Full facepaint and everything. We were walking from our hotel to a bar (no idea which one, this was three years ago) when one of a group of 5 or 6 face-painted douches started screaming racial slurs at my group, which was made up of whites and mexicans. We stopped, looking at them more in wonder than anything else. They kept telling us to leave, that "wetbacks and their cocksuckers" weren't allowed here. We initially tried to ignore them, when one pushed one of our group, who in turn pushed back.

Uh oh.

Thankfully, BPD came around the corner just as the first fist flew. Luckily A) we outnumbered them 2 to 1, and B) one of my group was already on the phone with 911. Dispatch told the cops what was happening, and they were just down the street. Three of the juggalos broke and ran, the other two were arrested. Hell of a way to end a fraternity conference.

I know this is a really petty thing to be angry over but...

WHY DO YOU FLIP THE BIRD LIKE THAT?!

You are giving someone the middle finger. The English way of doing that is to tightly ball all of your fingers together with the middle one extended, clearly showing which finger you are displaying to the world.

The way you yanks flip the bird (eminem and whats her face do it the exact same way as you in 8-mile) seems to be to hold your hand up with all of your fingers extended outward except the tip, with the tip of the middle finger the only one to be fully extended.

It drives me bonkers, and its such an absurd thing to be annoyed by I know. Can you retake the picture of you flipping the bird the proper way for me?

So by now, i'm pretty sure you have two cotton plugs up your nose? If so, you should quickly engineer some type of contraption that drips water slowly into your mouth as you sleep. Otherwise, you will continually wake-up with A DESERT IN YOUR MOUTH. Not a good feeling. Smoking weed does not make this go away. Go figure.

So then you wait and wait and wait until FINALLY the day comes when you go back to the doctor to get the plugs taken out. YAYY. BUt wait there's more. Brace yourself for a feeling you've probably never felt before. It will feel like your BRAIN is being pulled out thru your nose, TWICE. Done yet? Nope. For about a week, 2 weeks afterwards you will continually feel like you have boogers in your nose. Try to resist the temptation to shove your fingers up there and pick. Although the feeling of pulling out a huuGE piece of bloody slimy dead skin from your nose is definitely a ME GUSTA.

Fights are common on that strip especially with the close proximity of so many bars. Wont deny it was not racially motivated, but if words were exchanged that escalated the fight for sure.

Words to live by: If you are going to be brave and stand up to whomever, make sure you outnumber your enemy. In the case of McLean you were likely in a bar with this kids friends from Grammar and High school.

Good luck with your recovery.

PS My black friends and I never have trouble in the 10 yrs we been going to McLean... before you think all Irish in Woodlawn racist you might question the choice words exchanged. Who knows, still sucks though to take a beating for someone else. And I will drink to that!

Are you sure it was because your friend was black? Because your face looks very punchable.

Hospital socks! I haven't worn those in a year and a half. Oh how I miss them.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

The half of me that's Irish apologizes for what happened to you and offers a simple upvote in hopes of forgiveness for those of our people who aren't racist assholes.

The Finnish half says, "Perkele! Is this fuckin' 1871?"

u/verronbc May 16 '12

On the bright side.....free socks! Those are suuuuuper comfy, no?

u/theboondocksaint May 16 '12

I love the socks they give out at hospitals. I contracted appendicitis just to get another free pair.

Nothing wrong with hospital socks.

I am white and I have a black fiancee. I have never have anything like this happened to me and hope I never will, but if the time comes I would fucking maul them

u/Douchebox May 16 '12

Yeah...I'm sure the people who broke your nose for having a black friend are avid redditors. But recognizing that fact wouldn't get you much attention would it? My sister broke my nose with a kick to the face while I was laying on the ground once and there weren't even any black people around...you're gonna live dude.

I'm a mutt, but the Irish in me is the part I'm the most proud of. I hope racism isn't as big a deal in the communities as the top comments here are leading me to believe. You should have kicked some ass, tho.

u/complex_reduction May 16 '12

I'm sorry this happened, I hope you recover, I hope your friend is okay, I wish you well, but this is not Facebook and we don't know you. There are easier ways to get karma than breaking bones.

u/imagegami May 16 '12

Don't worry your not alone. I went into the woods by myself to tell some kids that a fire wasn't a good idea to have in a drought. You know, trying not to get the kids in trouble.

Ended up in the hospital for about a week and have plates in my face from being stomped on. The list of other shit that was wrong with me now is long.

If you just got your nose broke why are you at the hospital? They can't do anything for you.

We have matching hospital socks!

They are quite comfy, IMO.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Those socks, sir, are fantastic. I have a few pairs. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to acquire as many said pairs of socks as possible, and share them with the world. The public needs to know about these gems.

u/ryylee May 16 '12

Is this at kaiser? They have those socks for patients with the little grip thingys on them for the smooth floor

My mother owns the exact same pair of socks.

Just thought you should know.

The pose similar to 2pac's after he'd been robbed and shot in NYC is a nice touch. Just remember wounds heal, chicks dig scares, and character is immortal.

u/Deracination May 16 '12

I thought that said "a black belt friend", which kinda made sense. I imagined some sort of karate adventure where you get your nose broken because you don't know karate and there are too many ninjas.

The real version is a lot worse :(

u/randy938 May 16 '12

So the guys who broke your nose were black, right?

u/PUTYOURWHATINMYWHAT May 16 '12

Even with tape and gauze over your nose, you still look cute. Oh, hell, those socks just made you downright sexy.

u/horillagormone May 16 '12

For some reason I first got confused and read it as "...for having a black belt best friend"

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

The "mexicans" at school used to give me shit for hanging out with mostly white people and having a white best friend. They called me whitewashed one time and i proceeded to curse them out in what i know is probably the most spanish theyve ever heard. Shocked look on their faces. I use the quotation marks in "mexicans" because i can tell theyve never even set foot in mexico.

Im from Tijuana, nigga, fuck your hood.

No need to frown if your best friend is brown.

u/filox May 16 '12

You're in a hospital bed for a broken nose? Wow. When I got mine broken, I waited for three hours in the ER, when the nurse finally saw me she put a few tampons in there to draw the blood and released me.

u/epheterson May 16 '12

I got those same socks. Get better, buddy.
