haha I loved her in that episode. It made me proud to say we're from the same town. props to her for doing what she did. I would have done the same thing.
Abasi was an *beep* everything he said was about Race. I swear a lot of people don't even care about race anymore, but people like Abasi wanna turn everything into a race issue. He doesn't see people. He sees black and white only.
It's one thing to be proud to be black, it's another to lack common decency.
When she asked where's the butter, he wouldn't tell her. When he tried to bring him his juice jug, he wouldn't take it. He hit her over the head with his point of view and didn't show any respect. Even his friends said he was wrong.
I know they watched this and he had to feel like an idiot when she gave the money to the daughter when she turns 18.
I know the wife was upset because Abasi basically blew the money. Perrin actually tried to be civil to him and he felt being black meant being uncivil and he used the excuse that he was being prejiduce for black people. That's just an excuse to explain to himself why he lives in a shack and he struggles to make ends meet.
It's easy to blame other people for your failures, because then you can give yourself a pass for your bad decisions.

i said the exact thing when i was watching it. i know people who are proud about who they are and where they come from, but they are still compassionate and wonderful people. his wife, who felt the same as him about race (i got that from when she introduced herself at least) was so polite and nice in the other home.
The devil actually started to lick my face. because it's weird. T~O #210
It came on today. I saw it for the first time and thought that guy was an ass! I have experienced racism and I don't hate caucasians like him. He was just a racist idiot who forced his rants on her the minute she got into his car. Perrin was the good guy in this one.
I don't have low self esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else.-Daria
