can't even buy groceries without running into???...
i read my brotha's blog about his recent trip to the grocery store & i wanted to comment...what happened to the days when one could go to the grocery store without having to witness vulgarity to the highest level???...i thought the grocery store was a place to purchase sustenance for your body, not get an earful simply because someone cut in front of you or decided to make the express line of 15 items or less into 150 items or less...oh by the way, according to the supermarket manual & years of extensive service at a grocery store, items ARE counted as individual items...so if you have 14 lemons, please do not step into the line with 14 lemons thinking it will count as 1 item...i digress and now back to the matter at hand...where have the manners gone???...since when does not being "lady-like" so acceptable???...what happened to the gentlemen...oh wait, does it mean you're "soft" because you have the sense to not drop your jeans below your waist and show your bottom???...seems the ones that have to let the world know they're "gangsta" or a "thug" overcompensate their insecurities by letting the world know by their attire that they're soooo tough...hmm, last time i checked gangstas wear 3 piece suits and invade countries and throw the world into turmoil...last time i checked gangstas destroy the very core of the environment and give tax breaks to those that are breaking the world...why not give the earth a break???...still need a hint???...but again, i digress...the behavior at the grocery store is totally inappropriate no matter what the locale...didn't Teddy speak softly and carry a big stick???...now, i'm not advocating one to pick up a blunt object and use it against another...but, why use your vocabulary as the same???...why substitute your vernacular with words such as ***** or *****...does it make you tougher to the world???...does it make you feel so much better???...we all have certain degrees of intelligence and intellect so why not use it for some good???...we are already deemed as heathens and animals by "others" in this society so why prove them right???...when was our glorious past replaced with a unglorious future???...i just don't get how being obnoxious validates your existence???...so, if i use correct english or a lower tone in a similar situation to the grocery scene does it mean i'm less effective or a square because the last time i checked the real ones that are square are housed in 8X11 squares for not thinking of the consequences that accompany irrational behavior...it's called prison...but, if you would still like for your mind to be imprisoned then do me the favor and do it on the day i'm not in line...it's you that's out of line, and i'm not talking about the grocery one...
