Blame It on The A-a-a-a-a-alcohol

Disclaimer: there is some harsh language in this post. But it's only to tell the story.

A free concert in Salt Lake City attracts all kinds of people. Mostly drunk ones. Tonight was no exception. My friends and I were sober, but we were surrounded by them. I have no problem with this for the most part. I drink whenever I have the opportunity so I don't judge. Everyone can make their own decisions.
BUT...sometimes they do stupid shit. Not just the stupid shit I am prone to do, like make out with a stranger or spill food. Really cruel stuff. And I know this post is full of fragments and the English major in me is upset, but I think it's the best way to describe what went down.
A former classmate approached us, three sheets to the wind. He extended his arms and boomed, "WHAT'S UP NIGGAS?!"
Okaaaay. That I could overlook. But it was when he yelled at my friend (who's black) "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU NIGGA! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU!"
I wanted to haul off and hit him, but a) I was paralyzed in shock and b) it wouldn't have helped the situation. I know know we all do things out of character while drunk, but this wasn't just drunken banter. He and my friend weren't exactly on good terms the last time they talked, so there was genuine hate in his words.
I hope he has a wicked hangover in the morning so he'll feel some remorse. I doubt he'll remember what he said. My friend and I remember, but she's strong enough not to let it bother her and will likely even laugh about it.
Erase the hate.
And think before you drink.
Hahaha I just sounded like an ad for Above The Influence or something. Anyway, you know what I mean :P
