Bears are odd animals.
Not frightened of wolves, but terrified by cats & yappy little dogs.

Wolves vs grizzlies. Good sport on both party's part.

I feel better after starting 6 threads on the tyrant, COVID and BLM. And I thank RF for giving me the forum to sound off.

Silly? When your signature includes "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothing is going to get better, it's not."

 

[Shadow Wolf]

'Tis not silly, just some wolves are more equal than others in being ae to chase a bear off.

In one of those things thats not really funny, but it's actually pretty funny, reading the article about the lady married to the black guy reminded me a black doctor who gets viewed as lowly ranking hospital staff reminded me of one hospital I was in (my dad was admitted in it), and without looking professional, without looking doctorly, with all my piercings in and hair still messy then, I got a TON of people assuming I worked there, often as a care provider.

It must have been that you carried yourself like a professional.

I don't know how. I was still slouched over, gaze down, a mass of negative self esteem.

(Sideshafts are desirable features.)

Btw, @columbus will love your post.

Being into track driving i have learned a lot about car engines. Apparently some men find a girl who knows what a crankshaft is to be quite sexy.

I had a tee shirt with
Suck
Squeeze
Bang
Blow
On the front along with little representations of the cycle alongside that i wore for track days. That also had a rather alarming effect on some men

You remind me of an incident.

I used to go out with a black guy, a thoracic surgeon at a major hospital that was close enough to the motorway to have to deal with serious crash victims.

He was well respected by the hospital staff but when we were out and about he/we faced some horrible racist abuse. One particular day when we were in town together a guy went ballistic, pushing Paul around, hitting him and spitting on both him and me.

The police broke it up and were about to arrest Paul until a couple of witness shouted up.

Three days later the same guy was admitted with serious chest damage from a high speed pile up on the motorway.

Paul fixed him and made a point of checking in on him each day during his recovery.

The guy never even thanked Paul for saving his life.

This was in France?

No, the UK. About 10 years before we moved her.

Here i have never seen any racist displays in Fance (although i am sure they must happen in the bigger cities). In general no one gives a damn what colour you are.

Back in the day, when I managed many university student properties,
we had "turnover" every August. (It's when one group moves out, &
another moves in.) We have 1 week to get all the maintenance done.
It's busy. I'd work 18 hour days doing everything. (Not that kind of
"everything", @columbus.)
One day, I got a call from some father who needed to speak to "the
owher". He complained bitterly about that rude laborer delivering
furniture. I said that was me. Silence.
We had no interaction, so he got caught in a lie.

False complaints against staff happen. We'd also see bigotry, but
being a very liberal town, it would be against black, white, male, &
female staff....a rainbow of abuse. The university's Tenant Union
liked to foment hostility.
