Topic: Is this racism or did I over-react?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #16,382

I got lost in Orange County and my phone died. So I pulled up to the curb and parked my car to charge my phone so I can access the Maps application. It charges through my car. I was there for two minutes, and a white couple knocked on my window. I rolled down the window.

Woman: Why are you here?
Me: I'm lost and I'm waiting for my phone to charge.
Man: Look, you are suspicious looking just sitting here in front of my house.
Me: Excuse me?
Man: You look suspicious.
Woman: We're going to call the cops if you don't leave.
Me: Do you know where __ is? Because then I can just get there like I am trying to do.
Man: We don't have to tell you shit. Get off our block.

At this point, I threatened them to call the cops, for I'm not doing anything illegal, nor to I give a damn about what they think I look like. I then called them racist. The woman said she's taking my license plate down and giving it to the cops. I told her I'm taking her house number down and giving it to the the NAACP. She started yelling so I rolled up my window.

I waited another few minutes for my phone to charge, and then I accessed Maps and went to my destination.

I think there are trophy wives in Irvine and Laguna who honestly believe that God put all the little brown people on Earth so they would have someone to clean up after them and carry the luggage.
