The gym in our apartment complex is finally open all day. So tonight i decided to check it out and get my work out on. I noticed that they had a boom box in there, so i also brought one of my mix cds with me. I had no idea what was on the cd, but i figured i'd be the only one there since i came in at around 11:30. Low and behold, 20 minutes into my workout a woman comes in and gets on the stationary bike. I ask her if the music will bother her and she tells me that it's no problem.
So far the mix was pretty benign, but as i start to put the weights on the bench press on i hear the distinctive intro to "Romeo's Distress" by Christian Death. At this point i freeze, i know i'm too far to just jog over to the stereo and skip it to the next track, so i decide to just play it cool and continue with what i was doing....i start lifting...."Burning Crosses on a nigger's Lawn..."....look over at her and see no visible reaction....."Dance in your white sheet glory, dance in your passssiiiion"...still no reaction.
Worst case scenario, i'll be associated with white supremacy by her and whoever she decides to tell this little anecdote to.
