The Union of Iraq States

Here's proof that the American way isn't for everyone.

AS I was waiting for the 19 Polk by the library, I was sitting on the ledges reading a book about the American River. All of a sudden I hear a slap on the glass of the bus stop. You've probably heard it before. Someone slaps the glass of a MUNI stop with their palms and it makes this certain sound specific of downtown San Francisco.

The slap I hear as my head’s in my book wasn't that loud, but you could certainly hear it. It’s audible.

I look up and notice a strung out bald white dude with some crusty ass black clothes on doing his "I'm bad as shit!" walk down Larking towards Market. He's screaming, "That's right mutherfucker, I don't fuck around. I don't mess around!"

Behind him, holding her face is this 40/50-year-old Asian lady. She's holding her left cheek and people are crowding around her asking if she's all right. She's more startled if anything. No bloody lip, but I'm sure that it still hurt.

A guy walks pass me and tell some random stranger getting up from my left side, "We should call the cops on that guy." But nobody does. I sure as hell don't. What's the point? I've called the cops during the night, when I see cop cars patrolling, and they're STILL not able to come; let alone answer the call.

But still, I should have done something. Anything.

So this is what San Francisco is coming to. Allowing fucked up addicts run around in the streets popping little old ladies for no reason? OR, is there a reverse racism when it comes to APIs in San Francisco from whites (this isn’t the first time I’ve seen an API specifically targeted for ridicule by a white person)?

I’m curious, if I write that, would I be considered as just str8 racist? What a fucked up situation, eh?
