"Conversation I had with my Father..."

Bit of back-story: we've had the house next to us empty for some time, and various people have been to look, including a middle-aged lesbian couple (not that there's anything wrong with that). But yesterday some people came to view it, and my Dad was livid, for they were...BLACK!!!1174

Him: "You'll probably be worried to hear that some black ones had a look in next door yesterday."
Me: "'Black' whats?" (already knowing where this is heading...)
Him: "Two black people"
Me: "You mean two people?"
Him: "Well you may not realise this but they have a penchant for staying up all night, being loud and playing loud music all day and night"
Me: "So you'll be voting for the BNP in the next election then?"
Him: "I don't even know what you're talking about"
Me: "British National Party"
Him: "Don't talk down to me"

That's more or less word-for-word what he said, only I was probably more macho than the scene suggests. I scuttled off to the study shortly after.

I'm quite shocked actually, at how blatant he was with it. I've seen him make "Ook ook ook" sounds when we've driven past a black person before, but I thought that was his attempt at being funny, not trying to drill massive racism into me.

He's a redneck too...if squirrels love birch trees then he'll just sit up there and shoot them. Defeats the whole purpose of banning him to the trees.

Pure torture for him would be locking him in a library. Haha.

Stop press! Maybe they're racist!

Why didn't she ever meet your parents?

I was at uni, and we didn't date long enough to go out of our way to meet them.

So do I. But I don't have any brothers :^(

Growing up you hear people you love say stupid things, my grandad was brought up that way but it's something he only shows in the privacy of his own home. He's passed on it to my dad although i dont think he's so bitter, it seems like a joke to him and i put up with it til last year when i was talking to him about women when i mentioned an asian girl i know.

D:Why would you want an asian girl when you can have a nice English girl
M:Why not, if i like her i dont see a problem
D:Because she's not english
M:I dont see that it matters, mum isn't English
D:Thats different
M:Yeah it is, this girl is as English as i am, born here with one foreign parent
D:She's not English, you dont want to marry an Asian girl do you?
M:If she's the right person why not, i'll marry who i bloody want
D:You're mad
M:* Turns up reggae on his stereo *

Y'know, he's still monkey_man's dad. It's being a bit harsh.

You should have fought them to the death. "Posties" (a bit like darkies, but bluer) versus mongos.

I've been saying that for years. I've even got a joke for his funeral speech: "My Dad excelled at alienating people. He could have taught classes on it, but nobody would come"
