An enlightened [/sarcasm] political dialogue



Cub, wears a sticker saying "I'm a Georgia Voter" on July 15, in a doctor's office.

White trash medical assistant from some backwood in NW Georgia: "Oh there's an election today? Well, at least you don't need to vote for Obama." (First of all, it's the state general primary -- the presidential preference primary was back in February. But I digress.)

Cub: "I voted for Obama."

White trash medical assistant: *jokingly* "You better get out of here before you get shot."

Cub: "You know what, I'm a proud Obama supporter. And I'm a proud Democrat. I have my beliefs, and I'm sticking to them."

Sista nearby: "That's right. And the country's in the mess it's in because of your people."

White trash medical assistant: *leaves room without saying a word*

Cub and Sista: *knowing smiles*.

That was the most polite way I could think of to say "fuck you" to the white trash without being nasty.

I was at the dentist's office the other day, and I was reading "Dreams From My Father." I can't remember exactly what she said, but I can tell she didn't appreciate my reading choice. Too bad I couldn't articulate the way I felt because half my mouth was numb.
