A story sticks out in my mind when I was coming home from buying some booze and cheap snacks from a store and some black kid, in his teens, asked to borrow my phone to call for a ride. I knew from experience it's a risky thing to do but I felt it would be racist to say no and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway the little c*nt ran off with my phone and I chased him a couple blocks before running outta breath and then turned back and returned to where I left my bags of snacks and ****.

On the way back, I was stopped by a group of black kids who asked me what happened. When I told them, they simply advised me to "never give your phone to nobody around here." I agreed that was probably good advice.
