My Room - Perpetual LED Soil

Hey Folks, good weed to all of you :hugs:, ok fish it is catching on :cheesygrinsmiley:

Dismissed continued --

On to “A” school and my first barracks room... where I learn what racial prejudice is really all about.

end snip --

Millington Tennessee … dang.

Before I go on I have to explain how naive I was. I grew up in upstate New York and lived in a rural town. Out of about 500 kids in my class 2 were black. I was taught that it was bad to be prejudice and shown examples of white folks being prejudice against black folks. That is all I knew and that is how I thought it was, I held 0 animosity towards black folks... why would I? A couple of the guys I sat with on the roof in boot were black :cheesygrinsmiley:

When I met my first room mate I had no problem he was black, in fact we would become friends. We talked and told brief histories, then he told me this was going to be a tough room to live in. What? He went on to tell me my other three room mates were also black, I was like so? He said that two of them were not “cool”. I had no idea what he meant but I quickly found out. Another room mate showed up he was quiet and kept to himself, he was also “cool”. Then “they” rolled in. The mouth of the two took one look at me and said “Fuck no!, I knew they were going to put a fucking white boy in here and fuck us all up” The other one said some agreeing rump swabbing comment.

Holy shit... my mind was reeling, this did not even make sense. These guys were prejudice against ME! What? WTF? I prided myself in not being prejudice. I had no problem what color you were, as long as you would burn one with me :cheesygrinsmiley: I don't know if I said anything, I think I just stood there stunned. To make things worse “the mouth” was my top bunk mate, yay. For the next week I suffered every nasty slang you could call a white guy. The mouth would physically try to intimidate me getting in my face and so on while calling me a ration of shit. This was fucking awesome (sarcasm)... holy shit.

Then it happened, the mouth bought an 8 track and one tape, the Commodores :cheesygrinsmiley: Oh it gets better. He starts to play the tape 24/7. This lasts for two sleepless days for me then I delivered... “the ultimatum”

OK! This is getting really good Buckshot.......I think you tell a mean story....and....you leave us hanging. Waiting for the next page. :bravo:
 
good weed Buck :):popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::adore:

I did not go out at first and just did the work at hand. I would have been smoking every day if I had it. I started to make some light inquires and would soon find something to smoke. I was all about sleep. I realized in boot camp how valuable sleep was, not just as a commodity to make you well rested, oh no, sleep was escape. Sleep came like wonderful vacation every day. We all had to do “mess duty” at first … long hours of hard work, I loved sleep.

When the mouth came in with his new 8 track player I thought “cool we will get some tunes” My favorite music was jazz, some of my friends played back home. They introduced me to all sorts of music. One of my close friends played trumpet and I was exposed to and really dug the likes of Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione. I was always way out there and my all time favorite was Zappa . So when the 8 track walked in I was hopeful. The mouth pulled out one tape (the only tape he ever had) it was the Commodores. That was cool with me, a little commercial but easy to listen to. He popped in the tape cranked it and sang along... Oh yes he loved to sing :cheesygrinsmiley: So the tape played and played... and played.

Eight track tapes are in a loop, there is no end. I was tired that night and crashed even though it was pretty loud (I never sleep with music) but I woke up in the middle of the night and the music was still playing and I could not get back to sleep. The next night was much the same. I was so tired from lack of sleep I just crashed... only to wake up a short time later with everyone including the mouth asleep and the Commodores and I stayed up all night. As I laid awake I began to formulate a plan.

This was not going to be pretty. I knew I might have to fight and started to mentally prepare myself to fight two... maybe four. After work/school that day we all arrived back at the room (oh how I longed for 4:20) the tape was still playing. As I sat resting to the Commodores, I laid out “the ultimatum”. “The ultimatum” was actually a request but since the mouth felt the way he did towards me it was taken as an ultimatum. I told him I had not slept for two days because of the music and asked him to turn it off tonight at ten. Turns out the two “cool” roommates were down with this and when the mouth started in they backed me up... cool. Now I might have to only fight two. I had drawn the line in the sand and I was ready to defend it.

That night as I lay wide awake and ten approached I was fully prepared. I ran it through my mind, I would ask him to shut it off and if he did not, I would back my request with action. At ten I asked him to shut it off. He was half asleep but managed to tell me to “fuck off and kiss his ass” I was just about to get up and take the tape when I realized the plug was right next to me... so I pulled it. He lit off telling me I better plug that in or he was gonna get up and kick my ass. That was the threat I was prepared for, I flew out of bed, grabbed him by the scruff of his t-shirt and hauled him off the top rack and pinned him to the ground (I wrestled in high school) my mouth was close to his ear when I told him I was the craziest white boy he had ever met and I don't know what I am capable of if he does not comply with the “the ultimatum” He could not move and his buddy was so stunned and scared he stayed in his rack. He said he would comply. That was it, it was over. He knew I was crazy... no one can deal with crazy :cheesygrinsmiley: he gave me wide birth and the room became almost peaceful by the end.

Meanwhile I had made a connection in mess duty and would soon be smoking...

PS The mouth changed me, taught me and made me understand how bad racial prejudice really is.
 
I WANT MORE!!:MoreNutes::MoreNutes::thankyou:
 
Way to hang in there buckshot. Some ppl are just prone to prejudice ad ignorance and can't help it. Lets just be happy not all are like that. Great read again I was waiting for this part. Any wait till the next segment :thumb:

I still don't fully understand it...

OK! This is getting really good Buckshot.......I think you tell a mean story....and....you leave us hanging. Waiting for the next page. :bravo:

Thank you fish cake :cheesygrinsmiley:

good weed Buck :):popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::adore:

And to you sir.
 
That makes 2 of us and hopefully the rest of 420. But to each its own. As long as im not the one throwing hate around nor promoting it. Im able to sleep at night. But it grinds my gears that its 2013 and it still exist. And im speaking on all angles and race.

I want to talk about this but I fear a discussion that is both off track and controversial will be met with a delete button and I really don't want that to happen. I appreciate your input WizHigh.

Thank you :cheesygrinsmiley: and good weed to you
 
By the way the last piece of gear arrived... a Magical Butter maker! :cheesygrinsmiley: I says it will make tincture :cheesygrinsmiley: :cheesygrinsmiley: anyone tried this???

I am slow to adopt change. I tried a "Cone" finally ... damn they smoke nice. If you try them brace yourself for "good hits" :ganjamon:

For you nutrient folks who so graciously donated I am eyeballing them and trying to figure out how I will start using them, to be honest I am scared I am going to f it up. I have tried the SNS products for fungus gnat control... oh yeah they work. I will have to get the numbers but there is a drench and a spray and together they make a knock out punch :cheesygrinsmiley:
