I've just been walking home from orchestra... some idiots driving past threw a rock at me out of the window and shouted racist abuse

the rock didn't hit, luckily... I tried to catch the numberplate but I was a bit shaken so no joy.

just needed to rant a little bit, this was just a bad end to a bad day

One's rights (especially freedom of speech) should always come at the expense of respecting one's duties.

These people are the reason such an obvious statement needs to be repeated over and over.

And even if you did report the number plate, who is to say your claim wil be taken seriously? It could be hard to prove. Yep, people will act like jerks quite often given the chance.

Sorry you had to deal with that kind of shite.
Main thing is you made it home in one piece.

There are some people on this earth who are merely oxygen thieves.
OTOH, there are some truly good human beings here too.
May you meet fewer of the former, and more of the latter.

People suck, it is just the way it is.

While not near as bad as what happened to you, I do get the regular drive-by "Get a haircut!". It is started to get annoying just due to the lack of originality

People often drive by me in their cars and toot their horns and shout hello, because lots of my friends drive and I walk a lot.

move to California. People aren't usually so (outwardly) racist.

That sucks man.

Sometimes I think we've come a long way, and other times I realize how far we have to go.

Glad you're OK.

Some do, but unfortunately, many don't--there are a lot of idiots out there. Glad to hear you didn't get hit, at least. Hang in there, man.

No offence my friend, you'll note only one character in the entire movie is racist (and he owns a rocket launcher, at that).
