Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions

Somebody went there. They asked the question, "Oh yeah? How many racist things happen to you?". Not exactly in those words, but that was the gist.

As part of my Kwaku duty, I shall answer the question as succintly as possible, for my existential partners who lack the patience and otherwise have better things to do a midnight on a Sunday.

The stupidest questions are best answered with leading questions. So the return question is, how many blondes have you slept with? Huh? comes the response. What has that got to do with.. And then you interrupt with, the effect of racism on me is very much like the effect of blonde haired sex on you. It didn't have to happen in the past ten years once to change how I feel or what I believe.

Naturally, the blonde sex question can be substituted, but it should be sexual, because anyone crass enough or pitifully naive enough to ask such a rude question is more likely than not to be overly influenced by the sexual, if Huxley is to be believed.

And just in case they persist in their purient curiousity and ask something as idiotic as "Why can't white people say 'nigger'?" I've got a few snappy ones for that too, my favorite being the mother in bed one. But you know me, I can be scandalous.
