I was seated in front of two young women who were loudly talking about how racist this particular event was, until an elderly black woman seated behind them leaned forward and, with that infinite dignity and majesty that some old people just have, said, “Excuse me, I’m sorry, could you please shut the fuck up?”
Maybe the women were right about the event, but the elderly woman behind them didn’t give a shit because she was there to see the kids, not listen to pompous 20-somethings show off the stuff they learned at their Coalition of Anti-Racist Whites meeting.
