'74 or '75 or so I was boxing for the Navy, light heavyweight. If I had won my last fight, I would have had the honor of getting my azzzz handed to me by one of the Spinks brothers.
Anyway, I was the lone white dude on the team. On one trip to the bay area...(SF/Oakland was a LOT of fun, and decent to visit in those days). The coach decided to take us to some of his former hangouts in an area called Hunters Point. Today, I wouldn't go there in the daytime.
We hit up this BBQ joint run by coach's buddy from HS. When I went to order, the dude behind the bar said 'and what would our little honky friend like to order?' My reply was full of smartass...'anything the (can't use that word anymore) behind the bar would like to fix, as long as it is beef'. I figured as long as he was being racist, I would be too. Dead silence in the bar. Then he started laughing.
