The Arrow Hurler Race Card
May 2nd, 2007
I’m not a racist.
But when I drive past a myriad of street corners in my hood on weekends, I often come in contact with what I like to call the “arrow hurler” — a person who stands, dances, listens to music over earphones, and hurls a huge arrow back and forth, one which often advertises open houses, low mortgage rates or supermarket grand openings. Ninety-nine percent of the time, such arrow hurlers are white folks. But every once in awhile, I see an African American arrow hurler…
…and the differences are very very clear.
