My brother and I went to see Ted Nugent in Kansas City Mo about 25 years ago and were mugged! It was near the end of the show and we decided to leave the concert early to avoid the usual parking lot exit mess that often lasts longer than the fucking concert does...
Anyway, this was at the Starlight amphitheater which is an outdoor venue and parking was just basically dirt lots adjacent to the venue. It was dark and we were the only ones walking back...when we were approached by 3 young men...and guess what...they were going to rob us! One had a gun and while we cooperated and handed over our wallets (I think we had a total of around $15 bucks being the poor students that we were at the time), they grabbed them and ran off but then the one with the gun turned around and shot at us hitting my brother!
They were 3 black guys and it is the one time used the "n" word (to someone's face) and yelled out "You "N"ers shot my brother!"
He was shot in the arm and it took months to heal. Went all the way to the bone and fractured it. He recovered but I can tell you that late at night when he's alone he still has panic if there are young black guys approaching him and I do not blame him one bit.
After surviving an experience like that it is not racism...and I can tell you he is the least racist person alive...it is simply experience and he (or anyone) would be a fool to pretend like it didn't happen and not learn from it.
Anyway, I always think about that robbery whenever anyone mentions Ted Nugent and of course, this true story seems appropriate for this thread as well.
