I was sitting in the theater, Watching Cars 2, and I was quietly eating some egg salad, keeping to my self, like normal, when, half way through the movie, a black teenager came and sat in the same isle as me, a few seats away from me. I notice him and my hands go cold. My brow starts to sweat. I can’t even focus on the movie. I knew I had to put my egg salad away. I slowly bent over, trying to place my egg salad on the floor, out of sight, behind my tote bag that contained 47 more containers of egg salad. I set the open can on the floor. I started to slowly sit back up in my seat, but then, because I ate so many egg salad, it happened. During a very quiet scene, I farted so loud, it must’ve set a record. It was a juicy one, and I felt every person in the theater look at me. Some chuckled.

But the one I was most worried about was the black teenager. I knew I had to get out of there. But, as I frantically stood up, I tripped on the bag of egg salad. The bag toppled over, and the 47 containers of egg salad rolled onto the floor. I turned and tried to run out of there, but it was too late. He saw. In a deep booming voice, he yelled “THIS WHITE BOY MAYO MAN EATING EGG SALAD!” Everyone started laughing. I fell to the floor, defeated. I started weeping. Never have I been so embarrassed. Only Later, after the movie ended, I was able to walk out of there. I am committing suicide after I finish writing this. This is a warning. You don’t think it can happen to you, but it can.

@ArchitectOfDestruction jokes aside, I skimmed most of your deleted posts and it does sound like you've had a rough go at things and I feel for you. It's more than valid to be angry and feel down when people bully you or are mean to you whether that be because of the color of your skin or otherwise...but what you're talking about is not the same as institutionalized racism, which is what the term "racism" refers to in most contexts. Like I said, the fact that you're white doesn't mean your life automatically is easy and anyone who assumes that is misinformed/fake-woke. But extending hatred to black or latino people isn't the answer. Is there a double standard with regard to calling a white person white boy mayo man and a black person black boy chocolate man? Of course there is, but there's also hundreds of years of oppressive weight behind the latter (unless of course you're joking among friends and you've established that type of rapport). Of course we all wish that wasn't the case but you can't erase 100s of years in an instant.

All I'm saying is, I wish you the best and hope you do some soul searching man.
