WHITES AND BLACKS: PLAYING CARDS
There were six family members around a card playing table: five Whites and one Black.
Let us see how each one of them tried to break the ice:
Black man: “We just started and I feel the atmosphere has already become very tense. It
Looks like we are going to fight each other. I thought it would be a racial war (Whites vs.
a Black), but it looks like it will be a gender war (three men vs. three women)”.
White man: (Just laughed).
White wife: “No Neeegro. We will safe you; we won’t lynch you.”
All Whites: (laugh nervously).
Bi-racial son called, told of what was going on, and deadpanned: “My Dad will be dead
today.”
White woman (not correctly): “This was what we told him.”
White man: “Come’ on, drop your card. This is not (a lazy?) Sudanese game.”
White woman (in clear pride): “This is an American game!”
Black man: “(Bi-racial) daughter text messaged. (Read from cell phone: “Hi Nigger?
How is the White trash doing?”).
Whites: (few barely laughed and most didn’t say a word. There was an eerie silence and
the subject was quickly changed. Most probably because the daughter used the N-word).
Black man: “ … So, the old German man at the October Festival, learning that I am a
Muslim, started criticizing the Jews.”
Whites: (overwhelming laugh).
White woman: “Germans are mean, like my (White) husband over-there.”
White husband (raising right arm): “Hi Hitler.”
(Everyone laughed. All in all, there was less racial talk than gender talk. After all, the
cards game was between three men and three women).
