This was surreal let me get this out.
I was picking up last minute mothers day presents at this run down mall that was took over by the Hispanic community (because all the nice businesses pulled out years ago go to a new mall) because they have cheap flowers their for whatever reason.
I stopped at the Chinex to eat. There was a group of SJW white kids there, 9 of them, who were talking typical teenage and young adult idealistic bullshit with all the tell tale clothes and nomenclature to make sure the whole world knew what they were.
This didn't bother me. Kids are inherently stupid after all because they lack experience. I just ignore them and mind my own business.
Until, I needed salt. They had my shaker at their table because there were so many of them. They were done eating so I raised my voice a little to get through their chatter and asked if I could have it please.
The little shit said "come and get it" lol. I have teenage boys so I'm not mad and know he'll chill out when I approach the table. As I'm getting up to go retrieve the salt I dont realize what I must look like to these dorks. 6'3", steel toe boots, cackie Dickie carpenter pants and a sleeveless mossy oak T-shirt with a half sleeve tattoo from my elbow well past my shoulder and a military haircut that's too long on top.
There's a reason I explained what I look like hang with me.
I ask again for the salt as I approach, its next to him and i don't want to invade everyones space bending my big ass over the table to reach across it, and he says "get it yourself" but it squeaks out in a insecure teenage boy voice not the confident one from before. I asked him straight up "What's your problem kid?", civilly of course, more out of concern than anything. Then he said it:
"You're the enemy".
I said "oh yeah?" because I didn't know what to say and then took the salt from the table anyway. I start to walk away and he says "yeah, you are" getting some courage because of the girls and his friends at the table I presume.
Now I'm curious. These kids are not dangerous or anything. Very normal, clueless, middle and lower middle class white kids. So I say I'm not your enemy thank you for the salt and he immediately responds "yes you are".
He wants to argue...fucking 18 yr olds...
I sit down and tell him to lay it on me while I'm salting my food. It takes him a second to realize what lay it on me means then proceeds to explain the way I look makes me the enemy. I'm tall, muscular, have green eyes, white and look/dress "aggressive". I tell him I was mowing the lawn earlier and I'm wearing work clothes while chuckling from behind my fork trying to eat. He ignores this and tells me the problem everyone has with white people is people like me. White people who look like me and the women who hang around us make all white people look bad because "everyone hates us".
I look at his girlfriend and ask her if she hates me with a grin (it was a dick move, I know). She blushes and dude goes on to tell me I look like a fascist Nazi Trump supporter. He says as long as "people like me are around" then racism and racial tension will never stop. It never occurring to him his little white ass is being racist as fuck to another white person based on nothing but my looks and all the while his friends heads nodding in agreement with his ramblings.
It was a longish conversation. I never got upset and neither did he really. His position was just that any white person, especially male, looking strong and confident and comfortably self contained was a danger to other white people because we cause racial tension with our presence. Understandable racial tension according to this one.
This was taught to him by his mother and various influences in his life. No father of course.
So, that is what we are up against. There is factions in this country trying to erase the very image of strong white non-self conciousness people from society because we are a danger to spark racial tension.
I ended the conversation by telling him about me, my children, my wife who is half Romanian half Norwegian from immigrant parents and dark like the gypsies, and then payed for their meal and told them I'm sorry about the way I look but we're not going anywhere and I'm going to raise my 4 boys to be just like me and then explained that frankly their racial intolerance towards my appearance and the false associations they draw from it are the very thing they supposedly are against. Making them the vehicle for the thing they are fighting in the act of fighting it. This sunk in and made them a little confused.
Then I told them the were right about the Trump supporter though lol.
Anyways, sorry for the long story. It was just very odd being told I was the enemy and experiencing this social engineering taking root in some where they hate anything white that could even remotely be perceived as alpha, for lack of a better term, and not showing any sign of another ethnicity to attribute my apparent strengths to other than my whiteness.
It's hard to put down how this all went down but something became very real to me today.
Fortunately, it's weak ass blood and conviction pushing it and easy to take on, so far at least. I wonder how much worse it could get and worry for my boys.
