I go to Temple University in North Philadelphia. Its a pretty rough neighborhood for a white kid, especially if you leave campus. So anyway, since Im a communter I park my car down about 2-3 blocks from campus. On my way to my car I walk down a street with apartments on both sides. So as I am walking a black woman walks up to me. She is about 40 years old, jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. She didnt look homeless or like scum, just a regular person. So she walks up to me and as we are walking, this is the following conversation.
woman: hey how you doin?
me: Hi, Im good
woman: let me get a pack of newports and a loaf of bread and whatever you want baby.
me: im sorry?
woman: I know what time of day it is
me: ooook
woman: your in my domain now *walks away*
I have no idea what to think of this. First I assumed she was going to attempt to rob me, since she asked for cigarettes and bread. Then I thought she was a prostitute because she called me baby and started walking with me. Then I thought she was a distraction and somone might come out to rob me. I came to the conclusion that she was a little nutty and saw a white kid in her neighborhood and decided to bother him.
The whole time I kept her an arms length away with my hand in my pocket on my kubaton. I was cautious and kept my back to the street so I wouldnt be pushed into somewhere or so someone cant come out of a building. I was looking over my shoulder to make sure no one was coming too.
This brings up a lot of questions. what the hell was this about?! What could I have done if she assaulted me. Theres no doubt in my mind that I could wipe the floor with this woman, but if the locals on the porches see a white kid scuffling with a black woman, I doubt they would sit an watch. Im sure there would have been alot more people involved if a scuffle ensued.
I was ready to shove and run to avoid her calling for backup. All the porches and apartments are full of people just hanging around doing nothing. Im sure she had people that could have jumped in.
So anyway, to end my long post...what the hell was this about!?
