Reply #205: You're my hero!

I really hate having had gone off the deep end. I am far from proud of this.

And with that, I know that I will do my best to keep my cool in the future should this occur.

'Cause you sounded like a straight LUNATIC in your other thread. I am so glad to hear that you've had a chance to reconsider your behavior and realized that you could have handled things differently or better. If you could see my face, you'd see that I was beaming at you! :)

And to the OP Hamden who's stated that because ejbr is black that that in any way excuses his out of control behavior, Obama has a term for what you've described -- the "soft bigotry of low expectations". I'm black too and from the South. I know better than to act a fool like that in public because I was taught my actions were never just mine. Because black folks are NEVER seen as individuals, my behavior in public represents my entire family, neighborhood and community too. Is that fair? Not ONE DAMN BIT. Is that the reality of the situation?? My grandmother has never told me a lie once and that was one of the first things she ever taught me.

ejbr could have put that fool in his place without even lifting his head let alone "screaming" (his own description). Even he has come to see the error of his behavior and you should too.
