So, I went on my long run this morning.  Usually, I go to McDonald's and get a large ice tea, but the drive-through line was so long, that I found myself waiting in the street, with oncoming traffic bitching at me from behind.

So I pulled out on to the road and went across the street to Denny's.  I haven't been to a Denny's for probably seven to ten years, mostly because I think they treat black people like shit and the usual chicks who wake up next to Cantrip these days prefer not to go to Denny's for breakfast.  That's the price for pussy at my age y'all.

So I go in expecting a cheesy operation run by Arian Nation recruits.  I told the hostess I had just come from a run and it's okay to sit me at the counter bar.  "We don't have counters anymore," she said and sat my at a booth.  I was looking at the Grand Slam menu when the waitress says, "Can I get you some juice or coffee?"

"Yes please, I'll have O.J. and some coffee," I said still looking at the menu.  When I looked up I thought as my mouth almost dropped  "HOLY FUCK!  A BLACK PERSON WORKS HERE?!?"

You have to understand that Denny's was sued a half-dozen times in the late '80s and '90s for discrimination against black people.  It was bad, bad, bad.  So I chose not to eat there if I had a choice.   Micky-D's was just fine by me.

Anyway, while I was eating, the manager and hostess went outside and paced in front of the restaurant.  I couldn't figure out what they were doing until they bent over a few times to pick up something every now and then.  They were doing a cigarette butt pickup walk. Hmm.  Now there's a restaurant chain that cares about appearances, I thought.

So, it was a very illuminating experience.  On my way out I noticed another black employee.  The significance of this would be akin to say you seeing a sanctioned tag reading {pDs} Monster Vince.   You would never think that would ever happen.

Yea, your right Twitch, a lot of posts have been sucking lately.

Haha just kidding Cantrip. Anyway, I never go to Denny's because I think their food is shit, let alone how they treated people.

Yeah, lots of Mexicans here, but like a half-dozen black people at most in this part of town. 

Himm, I know four professionals and two restaurant workers who are black in this part of town.  There was one more, who was my employee, but she's off at medical school now., so we're really back down to six.   No, eight, I have neighbors down the street who are black. Single hot mom and her grade school son.  Some motherfucker on the block sent in a letter to the local newspaper complaining and tried to stop the sale of their new home because they were black.  I think the objector eventually moved out when the sale went through.  Ugliness I tell you!

and the funny part is that once upon a time there really was a {pDs}MonsterVince..

and the said thing is that I have been around long enough to remember that

yes for you kiddies out there.. there was was a time when Monster Vince and PDS were one.
