Oh my I had an experience with someone publicly in a diner about this several months ago!
So there I am eating a a counter, a older black guy sitting next to me, and I guess his black friend at a booth nearby.
In a voice loud enough for all to hear. He makes this silly argument. I was having none of it and told him loud enough for all to here it was bullsh*t. His buddy next to me went apopletic. “White privilige!” yaddy yaddy ya... I told him he must have a chip on his shoulder, among other things, but I never lost my cool or my manners. He did not. He tells me I better not show up at “his” diner again. I said I will sell you first thing tomorrow morning. He never showed and I haven’t seen him since. Of course the diner owner dared not take my side...basically sauid everyone is entitled to their own interpreatation....sellout...
The guy who actaully made the remark didnt say much...
The guy who made the morning remark was the guy in the booth.
