Race!
One day my friend Sam and I went to
the city to see a movie. We lived in the suburbs of Anchorage, and we
were driving in. While going to the city we got pulled over by the
police for no apparent reason. I asked, "What's wrong, officer? I'm
pretty sure I wasn't going over the speed limit."
"No, we think this car was stolen, a
similar car was stolen from Eagle River yesterday. Can I see your
license and registration please?" the office asked.
After I gave him the papers, he made
us walk the lines and did a breathalizer test on us, then they sent
us on our way. I said to Sam, "Them white cops sure are messed up."
"Yeh," he agreed, "we need to have more Native cops around
here."
Then we took off for the movie. Along
the way we stopped at a service station to get some supplies and the
clerks were constantly eyeballing us. After we got our stuff they
even searched us. That really pissed me off!
When we reached our destination we
met up with some friends and told them of our troubles. They all told
similar stories, but for some of them their experiences were much
worse. After we finished the movie we went to a club to hang out and
have some fun. But when we got there some white boys were wating
outside the building and they barred us from going in the door. "Hey
what's up with you guys?" we asked. "Last time we came here they let
us in."
"You guys don't get it, do you. We
don't like you guys and we say you guys can't come in because you
guys are nothing but dirty stinking Natives that hang around
niggers!"
After they said that we grabbed their
leader and threw him on the ground. That seemed to persuade them to
let us in. We hung around the place for an hour until we saw the same
guys at the door with more of their friends. We figured that they
were after us so we took off. They took off after us and followed us
down the road and onto the highway. Then I gunned the throttle and
sped off. Suddenly they started to shoot at us with a 410. When we
were 20 miles out of Eagle River a highway patrolman pulled all of us
over. He took their gun away and asked what they were doing with it.
We told them that they were shooting at us with it.
Now those guys are serving time in a
juvenile center.
As for us, we still go to the
city.
