Caltrops - Still Life





	[quote name="H1N1"][quote name="Zsenitan"]Yesterday I went to this FEMA emergency planning certification course being offered to animal services volunteers. I know, right?! Someone has to be there to make sure that there are enough lifeboats for all the cats. There were 30 other cat ladies in the Multnomah County official services building and 4 cat dudes, all white. I mention that they were all white because it's important a little later on and also because it's funny. We all waited for a half hour as the FEMA official and class instructors nervously checked the doors leading to our conference room. A man rushed over to the elevator, disappeared, and came back a few minutes later. Finally the lead instructor made an announcement: the certification class was cancelled for today. We were locked out of the conference room, nobody had keys or a contact for the keys, and <i>there was no backup plan</i>. I was standing next to one of the instructors during the announcement, and I mentioned quietly that, you know, it's probably not the most advanced lock in the world, and <i>someone</i> could probably get the door open. You know, like a problem solver might. A person who solves problems might solve this problem that way. Like in a video game except real. <b>White things happen here:</b> "Oh, no." He replied. "No we wouldn't want to do that." Nearby eavesdropping cat lady: "Oh my god, you mean pick the lock?! It's a <i>county building!</i>" Her friend: "They might send a SWAT team!" Welp okay guys. So nobody got FEMA certified; class will reconvene in a month.[/quote] White things happened... People obeyed the law... If black things happened the laws would get broken and the problem solved. I know you intended to insult white people here but you're really just a common racist. [/quote]
