So, he was supposed to say Yassah Ma'am and bob his head, apologize for making her brats scared, then duck his head as he drives away because she's a crazy *****? I don't think so.
Unfortunately, that's the mindset of many whites, even today.
If a black person, particularly a black male, isn't kow-towwing to them, they don't like it.
Anyway, I think I know pretty much how it went down.
That woman and her kids were heading into the store area at the same time the gentleman entered in his car. The minute he ignited the engine to turn on his car to drive out, the stereo came on. Because it was loud, and accompanied by a lot of base from the music, it most likely did startle not only the kid, but the woman herself. At that point she turned around and proceeded to call him a ******. He then responded by whipping out his trusty smartphone and hit record.
The irony is, I know the exact album he's playing. 'Illmatic" by Nas, arguably my favorite Hip-Hop album.
This year is the album's 20-year anniversary since it's release. It's been re-released w/a couple of updates. I haven't bought the release (as yet), but I have the original.
So considering what he was listening to, adds an interesting, and humorous dimension to it to those in-the-know.
Here's the song being listened to....
