My very anti-obama bumper stickers are still on my car. Yesterday, I stopped for gas and as I was waiting a 55ish africian american woman stopped and read my stickers. She adopted this hands on hips pose and informed me that I would soon see “who’s in charge now.” I was just stunned into silence (a rare event for me). In the bay next to me were two africian american men - both 60 - 70 (they looked and acted like pastors). Anyway, the one gentleman comes over and touches my arm, and says “young lady, don’t you worry about what she says, some folks mommas didn’t teach them a thing about manners.” The lady looked at him like he was nuts, but she didn’t say anything else. Very weird experience, for sure.
Glad you had someone with sense back you up.
