Uhhh - PANIC - Backpedal - how exactly do I explain THAT!?
So I raced home last night after a grueling day at work and upon seeing my roommate in the hallway, had this conversation:
-------------------------------------
Me: Ummm, so HEY, umm if you sort of write a blog about how hot you think a guy is in a movie, woul...
Her: Oh Oh, which movie...?
Me: Well, umm, you know that movie Amistad?
Her: Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh??????
Me: and also, ummm, American History X?
Her: (Shivers) Oh my god, remember that part where he “curbs” that one kid?
Me: So.. Yeah... if you sorta overlook, like, slavery and apartheid and stuff... Ummm and say something that happened during a hate crime was hot - is that bad?
Her: *Stare of disbelief*
Me: SO WAIT- it get’s worse!!! JUST NOW, this guy, a black guy, sends me a message saying “Hmmm, I don’t really know you, so all I can say is Hmmmm.” OH.MY.GOD. do you think he meant HMMM as in, she was totally digging on black guys or do you think he meant HMMM as in, this white chick just posted the most racist blog of all time?
Her: Marisa - Oh My God - why would you write that stuff?
Me: Dude, you never see movies with naked guys in it! I just wanted to say I thought it was hot! Oh Wait, I did see Kevin Bacon’s wiener in Wild Things... HA HA...
Her: Yeah, Kevin Bacon is hot too... But that’s like me saying the guys in Schindlers List were hot because they were naked right before they went into the incinerator!
Me: True, and I *MAY* have said something about Schindlers list as well - I KNOW I KNOW - but they were all skinny and stuff - I’m talking about Kimora’s baby daddy here....
Her: OH TOTALLY, that Djimon guy is HOT!
Me: I KNOW! So, now how do I explain to this guy that my dad is black, my cousins are black, that my ex and other roommate were black? He’s totally gonna think I’m pulling the old white girl “Oh no no, I didn’t mean it like THAT way - my best friend is black”... routine. You know there’s no way he read my backblog. OH MY GOD!
Her: Yeah, good luck with that.
-------------------------------------
It pretty much went like that.
My whole life goes like that.
Let me properly introduce myself. “I’m Marisa. I’m awkward and NEVER pass up an opportunity to put my foot in my mouth!”

I read it, and I didn't think it was racist. Scary, as in 'hide the ice pick before you go to bed' kind of scary, but certainly not racist.
Not racist at all! Please, those moviemakers knew what they were doing. They could have cast someone not so hunky as Amistad guy, and Edward could have been dressed in piss-stained long johns which might have been more accurate anyway by the way, but no, they prey on us and our raging hormones.
CH - I want to be relieved... HA HA, but "hide the ice pick before you go to bed" ???? What does THAT mean!?
SMUK - (That abbreviation makes me feel like I'm calling you a name LOL Sorry!) Yeah, what you said! Evil movie makers picking on my out of control hormones!
Ehhhhhhhhh who cares what other people think. You know what you meant and that is all that matters. Don't worry about what someone else thinks!
My only regret is that I couldn't see your facial expressions as you were having your conversation with your roomie...although I'm sure it looked something like this:)
