Time to go Shopping

I’m getting older (but not quite old yet), Southern, and white.

I’m angry, but only at those bigots who think their pallid skin is a birthright signifying dominion over other folks.

I need a new pair of sneakers about once every 5 years because I usually wear boots, flip-flops, or go barefoot. In fact, I just got a new pair for my birthday in March. (Yeah, I’m an Aries — come at me, bro.)

But ya know what?

I’m gonna buy myself a nice new pair of Nike shoes soon — and I’m gonna buy whichever ones I want without even looking at the price.

I’m not a football fan either, but guess what?

I’m gonna get me a Kapernick jersey and wear it to play poker.

Why?

Cuz I like to fuck with bigots and assholes.

Anybody know where I can get myself a nice Kapernick jersey? I don’t even know what team(s) or anything — don’t care either. I’m taking a knee and busting some kneecaps and balls on the way down.

I might even get a Pussy Hat just to piss off a few others!
