Feel like venting some…
Lost a friend yesterday. He’s a huge basketball fan. So he invites a bunch of people (me included). I opted out because it was a weeknight and a had work in the morning, a few did. He has a fit about people only liking football and no other sports. He goes on and on until he says “it’s provably because of all the black people playing”. That pissed me and a couple others off, obviously. I opted to the sarcastic approach with “oh, you caught me! I’m a racist! You and your insane psychic abilities”.
That made things worse and the him playing the race card because no one wanted to go to a bar, on a Thursday night, to watch basketball (I watched it at home). He kept whining and rambling on (he’s in his early 30s and older than me), so I eventually left the conversation (Facebook) .
Next few days I hear that convo is still going and all he’s done was trash talk me, for THREE DAYS.
So, I finally message him and give him the generic “hear you’ve got a problem with me. Why not come at me directly?”. He continues to call me a racist. Mind you, my entire family are very Jewish, and very liberal. So after a bit, a few fuck yous were thrown, and that was that.
Friends for the past 2 or so years, over, because I decided to stay in and watch the game from home. None of this would’ve happened if I had gone, I bet.
I left him with “oh BTW, why did you stop going to karma again? Oh yeah! The blacks!”. It’s a nightclub that became very more rap friendly with a strong demographic. All of my friends stopped going. He said “diversity”, I called “hypocrisy”. More fuck yous were given and that’s that.
A little bummed to lose a friend on these circumstances, but that’s how it has to be I guess…
