Then the unthinkable happened on my way to class. These guys, one of them liked to call himself, Country Thug (*sigh* Yes, I'm serious) were ticked off because they heard from their friends at Stephen F. Austin & Prairie View Universities that they were canceling classes and that Lamar needed to follow suit. I was appalled. Planes of people had lost their lives and they were upset because their lazy tails didn't want to go to class. Trust me, they were not concerned about the safety of the school. The Library at the time was the tallest building on campus and it was just 6 floors. They were concern about kicking it for the rest of the day. I had to remove myself from the scene. I was already known as a stuck-up chick from Dallas (later I found out my formal name slur was Dyme Piece) & now they were about to see that side reserved for real special idiots And well, that day was not the appropriate day. It needed to be peaceful. So, I let them look like petty fools. My annoyance grew for them when I got home after 6 and I found out about the planes crashing in Pennsylvania & the Pentagon. Intellectual Diva, one of my best friends lived in Washington D.C. I worried until I saw a map on the news. But still, there were more lives lost, and these guys, that I probably called jackals, were worried about...
A few times when I am in the airport, while being check thoroughly for WMD's, I think about Country Thug and his pals (Oh my first name is of Sanskrit origin so I get "randomly" checked 3:5 times. being black helps sometimes). I hope by now they see how petty their concerns were compared to the lives and resources that cost this country. I hope they realize how Thankful they should have been that day that it was not them. I hope they realize how Thankful they should've been that the only concern of theirs was that school didn't close. So here's to all the "Country Thugs" out there. Hope you have a different outlook on September 11, 2001.
Remember 9-11
Never Shall Forget
