You have a regular ass nigga in there with these weirdos.
Can't believe I'm getting sucked back into this vortex, but have to comment to COTG.
Hey, if you really are a "child" of a "ghetto," than you know--for a fact--that if Forrest was really a "regular ass nigga" he would not be skating in the first place. You've made this kind of comment a number of times, and I have an old friend who got shot by "regular ass niggas," for being black and liking things like skateboarding.
Even in this day and age, if you are black and you skateboard, and actually live in a black community, than you are anything but a "regular ass nigga," even if there is a skatepark nearby. There might be more tolerance than there was, but a black skateboarder in the "ghetto," is by no means a "regular ass nigga."
You're not black, and you don't skate. argument over. And I highly doubt a black person would chill with a racist such as yourself.
I figured you would just give me your typical sophomoric "you're an idiot," and that would be it. Wow, I got a whole fucking sentence out of you--you and I
know I struck a cord.
If Forrest
actually lives in or around a "ghetto," than he is
always in the uncomfortable, not-fitting-in-with-anyone position that we see in these episodes, because "regular ass niggas" don't skate. Despite things changing, all my black friends who I grew up with skating with in Detroit, have all to this day dealt with that "that is white people" shit, and although there is some tolerance, that shit is still pervasive. My friends are just on point, and don't give a fuck, and Forrest obviously does, and dude can barely function around people, know matter who they are, and how cool they are trying to be with him.
My whole point was to highlight how absurd your "regular nigga" comment is. So, based on the model of Forrest, all "regular niggas" are perpetually alienated from everyone around them if everyone around them are having fun and supporting each other, they are blatantly and undeniably uncomfortable in their own skin, they can't take a compliment, and when they dedicate themselves to something in life to the point that they get as good as Forrest is, they only do it for these elusive "millions," and not because they enjoy it. Is that right?
Forrest is sick--undoubtedly--at but one facet, of the many facets that make skateboarding what it is. For all your shit talking, someone like Grant Taylor would make you look pitiful on ledges, flat ground, rails, etc., and then go do a sick back-tail on vert without pads afterwards.
And...racist? Are you serious? I'm listening to Fela as I write this...do you even know who that is, you fatuous child?
