Am I wrong for this (Bushed a friend of 20+ years for being a racist Republikkkan POS)

[Afrodroid]

Have cac friends brehs

 

[MrLogic]

Did the right thing.

We as people are general a friendly people to anyone but cut them no good cacs lose and the ones that are not on that


keep at a distance.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

I voted maybe.

You def should end the friendship you have with ole boy, but I don’t think one’s political allegiance should determine friendship.

 

[Neuromancer]

If he's racist then fukk em.

 

[☃ ೋ]

What im trying to figure out is why after the first time you told him to block/lose your number, you didn't block him as well? Almost as if you were optimistic about him trying to reconcile and patch things up by leaving that window open. Everything that happened after that is on you

 

[GreatestLaker]

That's got to be the lamest shyt I've ever read in my life. Dawg you almost 40 sounding like a 14 year old.

 

[Day_Walker]

We haven't been cool for 11 years.
I haven't hung out with him in that frame.

Why were you cool with him in the first place. My 8 year old son would be smart enough to not hang around like that in the first place. Guys like that from your first spoiler were loners at my schools.

 

[humminbird]

I've never had a friend for more than 20 years but I would do it too
those Magats and Rethugs fukked this country up

 

[Micky Mikey]

TL:DR version...I had a meltdown and cussed out a former friend of almost 30 years and told him we ain't cool after he called me wanting to "reconnect" after not talking for 6 years and completely ended our friendship (that was already strained).

Spoiler: PART 1

Backstory abbreviated (cause I know yall want it short and sweet... knew this person since 1992...since when George Bush Sr. was President. Went to the same grade school. Went to the same high school. Went to the same college. White guy. Back in the day this guy was ridiculed by damn near everybody...especially in High school and college years. Women called him nerdy and awkward. He would have the worst sense of humor. He just be obnoxious and say the worst things at the wrong times. He would be saying racist shyt thinking it was hilarious...which pissed me off to the point I didn't even want to be around him anymore. Same with the friends I was around. They even told me not to bring him around cause they thought he was racist and obnoxious.

This guy was a Republican too...that supposedly gave it up during the Bush Jr. years. Back then I would entertain it as a difference of opinion.

Spoiler: PART 2

We hung out in my college years...which was a mistake on my part trying to mix old friends and new friends. I admit it. One night in the fall of 2007, we were on the way to a college party and I got jumped by 5 people over a 10 dollar bag of weed. And instead of defend me...this guy runs to a bar 5 blocks away leaving me to die (if I didn't run into that college party all bloodied up, I would of died). I had to get stitches in my right eyebrow (I told this story on SOHH way back when it happened in the fall of 2007).

After that incident I was really looking at this guy cross he never really formally apologized to me either.

Spoiler: PART 3

A year after that...he moved to Baltimore. And for a while when I was still living in Pittsburgh I would go visit him in Baltimore and hang out. Each time I would go up there I would feel less compelled to visit him cause he never really changed his ways. He got a job with JohN Hopkins and once got money...turned into a complete a$$hole. Talking down on me...trying to give me game on women when he was getting rejected by women left and right in the past...talking down on my accomplishments...talking down on my goals...after a while I got so sick of it.

What really made me question if I should hang out with this person was on my 28th birthday weekend and we were in Brooklyn at the Mad Decent Block Party almost 11 years ago...me, him, and his roomate (This lame white guy from some state like New Hampshire of some shyt)
traveled to NYC from Baltimore for it. They were just completely killing the vibe with their bullshyt. We're around a bunch of seksy Black women and Latinas from BK waiting in line for the concert amd this motherfukker is making Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman jokes.

I was so pissed shyt nearly fukking ruined my whole time at the concert. Then they just nagged about EVERYTHING...about it being too hot...about the people at the concert...about the weedsmoke...the novelty of our friendship had completely worn off.

Spoiler: PART 4

2015 comes...I ended up homeless for a bit...and called him looking for him to help out...he basically told me on the phone to stop talking to him and couldn't even give me 5 bucks for food.

So then, after I got myself together later in 2016...he texts me with a meme of Darryl Strawberry (we had an inside joke about him) and then I realized that inside joke was about clowning Black Men as deug addicted failures...i told him don't call me anymore...don't text me anymore...lose my number with your fukking racist ass!

Then he says, " I'm not racist I date Black Women..."
Nevermind the Black Women he dated said he was racist too (which is why they broke up with him). At that point I had already forgotten about our convo and wanted him to go away.

Spoiler: PART 5

6 years later...he calls me again...this time he's using a woman I used to have a crush on in high school as a way to weasel back into a conversation. I guess she was in Baltimore and he randomly met up with her He calls my phone 5 back to back times and texts me a pic of him and her. I was in Walgreens running errands so I didn't pick up the phone. As soon as I came back to my apartment and answered the phone I just lost it on him. I screamed "fukk YOU YOU fukkING RACIST PIECE OF shyt!" Into the phone as loud as possible and hung up.

Then we got into a back and forth argument. I told him again to lose my number, don't talk to me...we ain't cool. I found out he voted for Trump too and called him a racist republican. I told him about how he almost left me to die at that college party 15 years ago...then he responded by saying "i would give you the shirt off my back".

Then he talks down to me. He says "you're a real smart guy" like I'm a fukking child on not older than him...then he said something about working with Black Men that were mentally ill and drug addicts...and I was so offended.

I texted him back..."so that's what you think of me? You think all Black Men are mentally ill drug addicted fukk ups you racist?" You know how offensive that is???"


Then he just texts back
"Blocked"
"Take care"


Then he texted me back all angry
"@Unknown Poster that fukking message!!!

Was I wrong or was I right?


My mom and grandma think I was being too harsh...but when I said I stopped talking to him cause he was racist...they didn't have anything to say. My Dad agreed with me and said he was proud of me and said I should of done it sooner.

Absolutely not. Any white person who is in support of MAGA is an enemy to our people point blank period. Especially if they're still in support of the movement after 4 years of Trump. Think about what they're vote has done to the country. It led to Roe v Wade being overturned. Affirmative Action being squashed. Trump's deliberate politicization of the pandemic led to hundreds of thousands of dead black people (he didn't start politicizing it until it was learned we'd be disproportionately impacted by it). He's given various white supremacists groups the greenlight to display their bigotry out in the open. His brand of right wing extremism led to an increase in hate crimes. I could on on and on. ANY White person whose in favor of Trump or DeSantis has made a conscious decision to weaponize their vote against us. fukk all of them quite frankly. Every single last one of them needs to be reminded on a constant basis how much they've screwed over the country.

[HarlemHottie]

So since high school dude was lame and racist, why the fukk did you stay friends with this dude even traveling to his city to hang out with him? Wtf?

Bc, as he describes, he was lame and racist too.

Since he's Nigerian, maybe this is just how they are.

No wonder whites prefer Africans over AA. They get to be their true selves without the guilt because Africans have no solidarity with AA.

It also looked at a 2004 study by Nancy Foner and George M. Fredrickson who wrote, "To white observers, black immigrants seem more polite, less hostile [and] more solicitous."

Have a white friend breh.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I spent a lifetime trying to live out the fantasy that racism was dwindling.

I had to face the cold hard truth that most white people are still racist. Even after all the civil rights marches and all the books and movies. It's probably the same percentage of racists as there have always been.

My math says 2/3 of white people are racist.

I cut all of them off.

You let dude slide about 500 more times than I could have, tho.

I get it. I really do. But you were deluding yourself into thinking he wasn't racist for a long time.
