Spouse (PoC) experienced some overt racism today at the grocery store, infuriated me. She doesn’t want to do anything about it and doesn’t want me to do anything about it, which I’ll respect. But my imagination is running wild. Want to go make a crazy scene and demand heads on platters. The f*** is wrong with people.
I’d almost bet my friend’s daughter’s freshman-year roommate at USC was a similar thing at this.
My (broke) friend’s daughter was a decent rower and got in on her own merits. No scholarship but it helped her get accepted. She was way too small to be a star - but they need decent rowers to fill out the boats for practice and B-team or whatever.
Her roommate was a coxswain who was almost the same size as my friend’s daughter at 5’6. Coxswains are usually tiny tiny people. She claimed she had a huge growth spurt after senior year. Hmmm. I don’t think she lasted very long on the team either.
That shit is still hilarious. I hadn’t seen it in a while. I love Chappelle’s faithful acting out of Murphy’s ludicrous description of events. And throwing in actual Rick James - pure genius.
