So after work last night I stopped by a local quick mart / gas station that is near home to get some smokes. Normally, at that time it is fairly busy. When I pulled in I noticed that there was only one vehicle in the 10 slots or so in front of the store and it stood out like a sore thumb. It was a 2010 Ford F150 Crew jacked up on some blingy 26" rims and it was backed in to the slot right in front of the store's door. As I pulled in beside it (head first) I noticed that it had a custom grill that was made to look like a Lincoln Town Car and it had been rebadged with Lincoln name plates. It looked like it was professionally done. Not anything close to my style but nice execution nevertheless. Anyway as I was thinking to myself "now there is something you don't see everyday" (especially in my area) I realized that the stereo was cranked with hip hop on it with the windows down and nobody in it. I thought "who the hell leaves their stereo blasting and walks into the store?". I couldn't tell if it was running or not because the music was so loud. Something didn't feel right at all though and my antennas started going up. I looked around the parking lot and there were two gas customers, me and that truck I was sitting next to. The gears start turning in my head. Did I just roll up on a robbery? I mean, maybe they backed in for a quick getaway and cranked the music to drown out gunshots? Maybe they told everyone else to hit the road and that's why the parking lot was so empty? My mind was racing now and as I struggled to see around the stack of pop (or soda as many of you know it) I was reaching for my phone to prepare to dial 911. I wasn't armed, so I was trying to calculate my next step before I got out of my car. I was fully expecting Grand Master B in his low slung baggy jeans, wife beater and sideways hat with a crew in tow to come running out with fotay cals in the homeboy position at any moment. I had no idea though because the damn pop was blocking my view of the counter. Then just as I'm about to exit the car and get a different angle a very well dressed middle aged black guy comes walking out casually with what I would call an air of confidence (but not arrogance). He paused for a moment and glanced at me and sort of scanned the lot before proceeding over to his truck. He had bought a pack of gum. I thought well holy shit, I wasn't expecting that. It's a frickin' dead ringer for Stringer Bell! As I go in the store I'm still trying to figure out what was up with the stereo thing though and thought wow guy, you at least have some class, but way to propogate the stereotype... |

how can i say this without getting the thread locked, those people do that all the time around here. pull leave the damn car running and radio blasting it annoying as shit. Who? Black District Attorneys? I don't know who the Bell guy is the OP referenced, but that's the gestalt I got from the pic. |
That's like everyday life around here.... it really pisses me off, I get out of the car with kids to get gas or whatever and there is some $1000 dollar car with $6000 wheels on it sitting in the parking lot blasting vulgar hip hop, "f" this and "f" that "n word" this and "n word' that. And then here comes the crew with their ass hanging out with the the blueberry Swisher Sweet that they are about to roll into a blunt...... knowing that they probably have 10 kids, no job, collecting guuvment checks and food stamps.... it's really starting to old.
