Overheard at Table 1: Cops, Blacks, Whites, Pool Parties

Billy: That cop resigned.

Joe: What cop?

Jim: The one in McKinney.

Bob: McKinney where?

Billy: McKinney Texas

Joe: What for?

Jim: For the pool party.

Bob: What pool party?

Billy: The pool party in McKinney Texas.  Where you been, boy?

Joe: Here, mostly.

Jim: And there, some.

Bob: And roundabouts, mostly.

Billy: OK.  That's settled then.

Joe: What?

Jim: I don't know.

Bob: The cop who resigned?

Billy: No.  Where you all been.

Joe: So why did he resign over a pool party?

Jim: Pulled his gun on some kids.

Bob: Why'd he do that?

Billy: Probably because they were black.

Joe: I heard they were fighting.

Jim: Fighting with who?

Bob: Fighting with WHOM?

Billy: Yeah, them too.

Joe: They were fighting with the residents of the pool.

Jim: The people at the pool party said the black kids didn't belong there.

Billy: Ah.  So it was the white neighbors who called the cops on the black kids?

Joe: Seems like it.

Jim: Sounds to me like the white people need to resign.

Bob: They have resigned.  They've resigned themselves to calling the cops whenever black skin touches their white water.

Billy: Sad.

Joe: That's Texas for you.

Jim: Or America.

Bob: Looks to me like it's gonna be a looooooong hot summer.
