ignorance

at the post office today, an old woman (she was no lady) walked in and got in the line behind me. i'm not sure if i ticked her off, but as soon as she took her spot, she began talking nonstop: "i was born and raised in this country and you people come here and take all our things. you here in america so act american. a bunch of cockroaches speaking your ack-ack-ack. you here in america and need to speak english." that's politely paraphrasing what she was saying. i noticed a trace of alcoholic stench on her, but she was dressed nicely. if she hadn't opened her mouth, you would've mistook her for a lady. so i didn't expect something so vile to come out of her. the funny thing is that she mention god, that she was right with god and god knows. my guess is that she's christian which means she believes in hell. and the irony is that she's pretty much bought herself a one-way ticket there. would the christian god accept anyone with so much hate in heaven? also, the things she said actually made me think of the kkk and their attitude towards any non-wasps. but this woman was black! and because she's so old, she must've grown up before the civil rights and desegregation. she should know how wrong it is to be so hateful to people merely based on the color of their skin. the old is supposed to endowed us with their wisdom. this is one old woman who doesn't need to pass on anything. i just hope her family knows how she embarrasses herself in public and tries to help her.
