earlier this week

wife: " I feel fat!"

me: "Why? when did you start feeling fat?"

wife "this morning!"

me: (pointing to a pic from 7 yrs ago) "see here, you look exactly the same"

wife: "DAVID, I was 10 lbs lighter then!"

me: "Babe you were a D1 scholarship athlete then, of course you've "changed"

wife: "SO YOU DO THINK I' VE "CHANGED & GOT FAT!"

me: (realizing I shoulda complimented her but still trying to save it)
"No? that's not what I meant?!?.. (just tell her she's GORGEOUS)

me: "Babe your Go..

wife: (cuts me off) "Why can't you just tell me I'm gorgeous!"

FAIL.

I'm wack.

For the record Boston/Roxbury/Cambridge police officers have ALREADY had a stigma for practicing racial injustice towards African Americans.

My in-laws are from Boston/Rox/Cambridge & this type of treatment is NO SURPRISE!
My AA father in-law is a MIT Engineer grad/Pastor & has been harassed. My 25 yr old AA Harvard Law grad friend has been harassed.
My 32 yr old AA MIT engineer friend has been harassed. One of my mentors who's a well known AA Harvard Business grad/pastor who's appears on FOX/MSNBC/CNN often, has been harassed.

These guys all love God, are married with great families, and have never been a threat to anyone.

Scorsese's Oscar Award Winning movie-Departed was true to form when he depicted some of the racism/prejudice that exist within BPD.

No explanation needed for injustice.

I'm mexican & jamaican.
