Shhh you're out numbered

Have you ever heard someone make a racist joke in public but still in private in comfort. It's disgusting. But it happens all the time in LA where they are out numbered. And as I look over in shock they hurry and walk away to avoid conversation and confrontation and the black lady next to me looks forward like she ain't hear a thing. But she heard everything I swear it's like since she was out numbered her voice didn't matter and she prob really needed this job anyway. I didn't blame her to a certain extent because I use to be her scared to stick up for my race when I was the only one to stick up for my race, shit it's a lot of pressure.
