Department of Homeland Security
An acquaintance (DHS member) of mine who happens to live in the same area and used to hang out in the same social circles has been extruded from any of our gatherings.
He constantly tells everyone who is willing to listen that minorities, specially Hispanics and Blacks, are making this country a shit hole.
The whole group has told him numerous times to change his behavior when hanging out with us.
Last weekend, as we do most weekends, hanging out by the fire and drinking beer and eating food everyone brings, we had a bunch of people laughing and having fun. Steve, the owner of the property had invited Kevin, a co-worker who is black, because he collects old mustangs and he wanted to show his latest acquisition. Kevin drove his Mustang near the group, got out and started talking to us.
This DHS agent walked towards him and asked flat out, "Where did you steal this, bro?"
All were stunned and Kevin laughed it off. Steve pulled the DHS Agent aside and told him in no friendly terms that he was being an asshole and should apologize immediately.
The DHS Agent explained to Steve that in his profession he sees that the ONLY people who are able to afford cars like that are either drug dealers or pimps.
Steve told the DHS Agent it was the last time and asked him to get out and the friendship was no more. A few months before this, Steve's son (Roll Tide) told him that if he ever said n..... in our presence he was going "beat the shit out of you, you racist piece of shit." The DHS Agent went to Steve and told him about it. Steve response was... "Don't be a racist piece of shit and you won't get your ass kicked."
He behaved better after that for a few months. Then came the gathering with Kevin....... The morning after Steve received a lengthy text from the DHS Agent explaining that he is not a racist person. I also received his text asking me to explain Steve he is not a racist. He is a racist as he has made clear when telling me that because of my Hispanic heritage I am on his radar of people he is going to arrest.
Numbers have been blocked and I hope never to see this DHS Agent again.
Why did it take so long to confront him about his racist opinions? Because all three of us had been to Iraq and back. All three of us were in the same hell hole fighting in Iraq. Steve and I also helped him with his VA disabilities claims as for a long time he had no idea how the bureaucracy worked.
I must say that NOT ALL DHS Agents are like the asshole described above.
Thank you for reading my mumbling rant.
