PSA: Letter To You Sir

Dear Douchebag at Walmart that forcefully shouted out the word NIGGER at checkout twelve this morning,

I understand that you were mad. I understand that you were frustrated. But you don't say that in public. You don't say that in secret, you just don't say that period. With the increasing racial injustices culminating to the surface we don't live in a time where shouting out the word NIGGER is okay. I have anger issues, I get anger, but acting out in ignorance is not what you should do to express it. This isn't about the word and meaning for me as much as it is about humanity's lies of being of a higher intelligence when I'm seeing such uncontrollable people walk about saying ignorant things, killing people when ever they want, and raising an entitled generation of ungrateful little beings. As pessimistic as I can be I don't see this world with rose colored glasses, it's getting farther away from perfect, closer to chaos, and the cloud of doom is getting heavier and heavier. Is it the unlearned simple lesson of thinking before you speak the culprit? I don't know, but sometimes people really need to learn how to just shut up, that your opinion is worthless and that silence is its own language. I didn't stay silent when the man shouted out what he did, but he did quickly walk way embarrassed when he saw me glaring at him. "I understand that he's ignorant." I told the Walmart workers who he had been venting too. The man's situation was something about he lightly tapped someone's car or something and the guy called him a name that was derogatory as well but, BUT, does that give him the right to rave loudly in a public place and yell out NIGGER? Regardless leave your drama for home, and act accordingly in public, preferably like you're not an ignorant douchebag as I perceived you to be. Now this man maybe be a church goer, a good person on any given day. He may be a doctor, lawyer, who knows, but in that five minute rant that ended in the word NIGGER being shouted you were none of those things sir. You weren't a loving husband, a caring father, a big brother, but you were in your truest form, an ignorant human being that needs to be taught how to correctly conduct yourself in public and learn to just shut up.
