Interesting Conversations
Two conversations with Godfrey, a Ugandan who translates and does some odd jobs for the Hoods, with whom I'm staying in Kampala.
Conversation #1
Kari: "Which one of us do you think is older?"
Godfrey: "Well, he has a beard and you don't..."
Conversation #2
Godfrey: "Which state are you from?"
Kari: "I'm from Kentucky."
Me: "I'm from Texas."
Godfrey: "Oh, Texas. Are you a n-gg-r?"
Me: "Am I a what?"
Godfrey: "A n-gg-r."
Me: "Wait, what was that one more time?"
Godfrey: "A n-gg-r."
Me: "Um, no."
Not a conversation I ever expected to have with a black man.
