I was attacked

I was attacked this afternoon by a tall black democrat who didn’t think I should vote for Bush.
While I was waiting for my media writing class to begin a black man, who I thought was rational and friendly up until this point, asked me who I was going to vote for. I deferred saying I didn’t want to debate. After repetitive requests I told him I was going to vote for President Bush.
He asked me how I could vote for a liar and a thief. He asked me how I could vote for a man who didn’t support affirmative action. I told him I didn’t support affirmative action either. Then he really got agitated, he said affirmative action was the only way black man could get ahead. (He really said this; I am not making this up) I pointed out that Condoleezza Rice was black and one of the most successful blacks I knew and she doesn’t support affirmative action, I pointed Clarence Thomas and he called them traitors. I wonder who they betrayed. I also mentioned that Colin Powell was successful and very powerful. He said he wasn’t a black man. Imagine that, I bet Colin Powell would be surprised to find out he wasn’t black.
The “debate” continued into the class. He said republicans weren’t ignorant but people voting for Bush are. So he called me ignorant. He claimed bush was a liar and a thief, and I told him he was wrong, Bush was neither of these things. He called me ignorant again and at least two other times. I suggested that he was the ignorant one; I then told he needed to stop using Michael Moore for his source material. He then yelled at me for calling him ignorant “you’re calling me ignorant,” apparently calling me ignorant four or five times is ok, but calling him ignorant once was a fighting word. He pressed me and then yelled at me that I didn’t know how much he had suffered and bled. I told him he didn’t suffer or bleed but 500,000 whites had bled and died to free his ancestors from slavery.
He then pushed me while I was seated; I had remained seated in hopes that he wouldn’t go ballistic, false hope. I rose to defend myself and he popped me one or twice in the face, I then took a him down with a single leg take down. (I need to thank my dad for teaching me how to wrestle.), and pinned his head to floor with my arm. Someone in the class then attempted to break us up, I let the man stand, big mistake, he then popped me twice more. It never fails I break one of my rules for fighting and I pay. In any case I backed away, by this time security came and took him away, screaming and yelling that I didn’t know him, that I was ignorant and a racist. Apparently, after eight weeks in class with him sitting across from me, I didn’t know him.
Now, as a result of his stupidity, I am in fear of being expelled from a class I need to graduate in December. I’ve worked for over ten years to get this degree and this putz has threatened it for a man (John Kerry) who wouldn’t even look twice at him without a bodyguard present.
Let’s sum up our debate, (the one I wished to avoid.)A democrat can be for affirmative action, a republican can’t be against it, a person can vote for Democrat, but I can’t vote for a Republican. Black men and women who don’t support affirmative action are either traitors, or not black. He then resorted to violence to push his issue.
