think I got out of a ticket for having a pistol

This all happened with my not-very-white wife sifting in the passenger seat who immediately told me this only happened because I was white, and maintains that to this day. She's probably right, but I wish it would happen more often.

Glad my swarthy colored wife isn't hung up on the whole white privilege thing.

I changed my mind. It's really shitty of you to assume my wife is "hung up" on anything.

We can't all be skinny and healthy you know. Oh, wait. Yes we could. But that would mean eating right and exercising and who wants to do that?

After running the reg and my license he came back and said "thanks for telling me about the gun, watch your speed". I'm pretty sure he let me go without a ticket just because I correctly told him that he'd be seeing a pistol.

Yeah it's out there, sorry if I came off as an ass.

Off topic, but the other day while my wife was walking with the boys along the Platte, a group of guys tubing down the river were cat calling this girl jogging, my wife looked over at them and was told "not you ya wetback, you are probably on welfare", I'm normally with her and suspect they wouldn't have said anything if I'd been there. Yeah, racism is alive and well, all across the board. Sorry for straying off topic.

That's really, really shitty. Nothing is more trashy than open aggression toward someone who isn't doing anything.

Yeah my blood was boiling for a few minutes, then I reminded myself there is hate across the board.
