Ohmygod!
I just witnessed the most shocking outburst of racism I have ever heard, meaning in real life, directed at someone who means a lot to me. Really awful.
I was talking to B on the phone, he's drivig to a friend's birthday party and we kept getting interrupted so I was a bit annoyed, but then reception improved and I told him about a nightmare day at work I had yesterday. Then, all of a sudden some guy in the background started shouting abuse: "you fucking black nigger, you nigger!!! You fucking...!" and so on. Really terrible.
I asked him what the matter was and then I realised the abuse was directed at him. He told me it was some guy having a road rage, then he goes: "it wasn't me, it's not my fault" and so on, talking to this nut! I couldn't believe it.
The guy kept shouting at my lover, I found this so distressing to listen to, I mean I didn't know what was going on but it sounded like a fight was about to kick off. I mean if I'd been there I would have started it myself!
And then they go on about how young black men are angry all the time, I wouldn't have had his composure to be honest!
What a racist loon. I have never heard anything like it.
It made me feel so awful for him and my other black friends, I am sure I don't have a clue what they come up against sometimes.

I was really worried, he said he had to go, so I text him asking if he was ok, and that the guy had sounded like a nutcase from hell. He text back saying all was ok, he sorted it, but I ask you! I bet he didn't deserve that level of abuse.
Why do people pick on something so superficial when they want to abuse someone? Fat bastard, stupid cow, skinny bitch...
But I think if it's racist, it is even more hurtful.

I had to go in my kitchen and breathe, I nearly cried I was so shocked.

I hope I see him before I'm off for Christmas...

I have a new bed, too... ;-)
