It was mostly 2 things.
Kid from CSULB comes in, gets a few movies, had Black Panther on and goes “yeah I liked the movie, but from all the hype I didn’t really enjoy it that much. The jokes were cringy. The score was really good though. I just always thought it was like ‘Black people: the movie’ though, but Killmonger was the villain so I don’t know..”
Me: (??????? Black people the movie??) I mean, a lot of people discussed his motives as a villain though, and though he might be portrayed that way, he had a lot of reason to feel the way he did. I didn’t seem as the TRUE villain really, gotta find different perspective yknow.
He didn’t really say much after that.
Later that night a good customer of ours was talking to me about his electric bike and that he went in some sketchy neighborhoods on it but he said: “yeah I was in an area of all Mexicans and (whispers) black people.. (normal voice again) and I saw the next morning the section was blocked off cause there was a shooting there”.
Like dude did you have to whisper that? I wouldn’t have thought you were kinda racist if you didn’t do that shit lol.
