I grew up in a town that was and still is 99% Caucasian. For whatever reason, I used to tan
incredibly easy when I was growing up, to the point that if I held the refrigerator door open for too long, my face would look like Enrique Iglesias' ass. And because I was apparently one of the only people in town whose skin possessed melanin, I was often the butt of jokes involving milkmen sleeping with my mother, my ability to jump more than four inches off the ground, and so on and so forth. I'm not looking for sympathy, but suffice it to say, I've had to deal with more misguided racism in my day than the average white guy and often had no clue how to deal with it. Which brings us to
Pat Barry, who some of you might not know is half black. If that revelation shatters your entire perception of Barry as a human being, then you are likely the garbage-ass hooley hoo floor turd known as "Jake," who recently sent the above message to Barry on Youtube. What starts off as a simple statement of newfound understanding quickly takes a left turn to Deliveranceville, 'Murica when this "Jake" starts dropping racial slurs like they were his cousins underpants at the family kegger-orgy, all the while assessing Barry's skills as a fighter in an effort to, I don't know, maintain his credibility as an MMA fan? As if to say, "You BETTER BELIEVE that if I didn't have all of this hate in my heart, I'd be hosting
MMA Live." In either case, Barry actually chose to respond to the troll and more or less laid out a gameplan for how to deal with racism that combines equal parts CAPS LOCK HAL and Richard Pryor to hilarious effect.
