"Are we enemies of the state?...

Or idealist bourgeoisie?" ~NOFX, The Marxist Brothers



This is a recent conversation that took place between my younger sister and her boyfriend Mark who is visiting. They are a constant source of entertainment and occasionally jewels like this shine out amongst the rest:


Her: *gasp* Baybeeeeee that's racist. Don't say that!

Mark: What's racist about it? I was just telling your sister to watch out for the darker skinned man because it was dark and she was driving.

Her: Don't call him dark; That's racist!

Mark: Um. I'm FROM [insert large midwestern city], I can't be racist. [I was smirking]

Her: No, that was racist.


Mark: If you don't stop I'm going to have to go womanist on you! [How does someone go womanist on you?]

Me: *laughs* Um. May I remind you that there's another woman in this vehicle. If you insult the driver, you get kicked out!

Her: Yeah... if you go womanist, maybe I'll just go Marxist.

Me: *uncontrollable laughter* Do you know what Marxism is?

Both: Yes.

Me: Well then, you have my blessing to get bourgeoisie on his ass.
