#SeeSomeDC: "If the sign says no swimming, then why you wading?"

demetria lucas June 17, 2016

So I'm in the suburbs. 

I go to Starbucks every afternoon. There's a patio with a nice breeze. I sit outside and look at the parking lot because that's the view.

Anyway, there's a group of adults that gather everyday. Or about everyday. They've been here every day I've been here. I'd say they're late 40s/early 50s. All black. I've adjusted the appx ages for melanin. 

It's four core guys, and one woman, and then some others that drift in and out. All parents. 

They show up to argue LOUDLY about the news. Yesterday and today they are arguing about the alligator incident at Disney and the Gorilla incident in Cinci. 

Right now they are debating what was going thru the gorilla's head and what the gorilla would have asked for in a hostage negotiation. (Answer: 12k bananas and a female gorilla.) Also, no one thinks the alligator story adds up. 

Exhibit A: 

Some grown person's dad: "who in the f--- lets their two year old wade in the water and don't have em by the hand? You just gonna let your bay-bee walk in the damn water? If your wife ain't got enough sense to grab up the child, then you grab up your f---in child!!" 

Exhibit B: 

OG man: if the sign says no swimming, then why you wading? 

Man 1: but wading ain't swimming. 

OG man: you sound like white folks. Sign say no swimming, it means keep your black ass out the water. 

Man 1: they wasn't black. They from Nebraska. Ain't no black folks. 

OG man: sh-- wouldn't have happened to a black child. The gorilla? Ok. That could happen to anybody. Eaten by an alligator. Nawl. That sh-- don't happen to us. 

They need a web show. I would watch this sh-- all day.
