Theres a Popeye's out here that i used to frequent. Probably had four owners/managers in the past 2 years. At one point they developed a bad reputation as having terrible customer service and when you walked in the place one could see why. If Lean On Me needed an idea for a sequel, that Popeye's would have been ideal. Had all them Shaneekwas working back there with as much attitude as they had weave. 
One night I'm in there and the natives were particularly agitated
, and so I'm waiting on my order at a table. Young go-getter breh (there's always a young breh in those places who takes his job seriously) told me to sit down and he'd bring my order.
While I'm waiting, another young brother was mopping and made small talk with me about everything in the place that was messed up. Can't never close or open on time, ice maker part of the pop machine is broke so they had a bag of ice, its payday Friday and the manager hasn't shown up with the checks, etc.. So I cynically I asked the young boy, "is he a brother?" Dude looked at me incredulously and said, "you already know!"
Swear I'll never forget that. Amazing how cynical we are of ourselves. If Malcolm was alive today I wonder if he'd still do the "who taught you to hate yourselves " bit without some modification in consideration of common practices of fukkery which are widely accepted as normal in the Black community today.
