Standing at a bus stop on Monday morning at 8.45, not 200 yards from my house, people going to work, kids going to school, we're all waiting for the bus. Along comes a young guy, maybe mid to late 20's, making so much loud noise, being the rapper, being the gang boy, gold chains hanging all over his neck, gold rings on every finger, being the big man.
This 'big man' starts showing and selling his wares (drugs, charlie) from a computer carry case, but selling them to the young school kids, 1st & 2nd graders, and college students. Still making lots of noise, not going about his business quietly. Most people at the bus stop turned away, minding their own business.
The seller was standing about 8 feet away from me so of course I was watching to see what was going on and you can't ignore all the noise this guy was making. Bajan men seem to have an inherent desire to show what 'real men' they are, by making lots of noise they are hiding inadequacies in other areas such as a lack of intelligence, aptitude, whatever...
He saw me looking
"What you looking at, white bitch"
As I was the only white person within a mile of this guy, I guessed he was talking to me.
My reply "I'm looking at a drug dealer, selling to kids"
This was most upsetting to him, he carried on making more noise, shouting about the place.
"You can't say that, that's racist" !?!
My reply "No, when I say you're a dimwitted, BLACK, fu..*?!er, that's racist
"
"When I say you're drug dealer, that's the truth"
Its a poor world out there....
There are drug dealers in every country, but you don't expect to see it on your own doorstep.
