the car horn- either sparingly used, or exceedingly in use. the “honk” all depends on the mentality of the driver, some see it as a way to warn, or caution, others, while others think of it as a mental weapon. you could live your whole life and never honk that horn, or you could race through the beltway and hold that joint down. as i said, it all depends on the person.

however, the topic of conversation today is the “honking” conflict, when one takes offense to the use of another’s horn, lol. it’s happened to me, i’m sure it’s happened to you. how do you act when you’re honked at? i, for one, get real heated- honking to me is like a red flag to a bull, i tend to charge. honestly, i think the use of the horn should be done sparingly, and only when it is truly necessary. if i cut you off, you better race past me, no need for that horn cause i will go off lol. i’m a tough-guy driver, and i get reckless. i resemble this emotion to the nigga moment, that Huey Freeman explains so well-

i’ve seen many “honking” conflicts because of an initial tap of the horn, dude’s get crazy. you don’t tend to see a lot of black v. white honking conflicts because white people know better, they let it slide real easily. my uncle told me a story about how he was in england and he cut some white guy off, the man was flailing all types of hand gestures and cursing into the air, the guy even followed my uncle all the way to his destination. they got out the car and white dude went HAM, said something similar to this (decipher if you can)- “dey bloody fock, if ya fockin see me mate,” not sure what exactly dude was tryin’ to get across but the only thing my uncle was thinking was “this man has some nerve, if we was back in america, he woulda already had his head blown off. a white man cuss at a black man like this?” grief. goes to show that the rest of the world doesn’t operate like America, cause white dude woulda been missing some essential body parts, chopped & screwed if you will.

so what i’m saying is, look for some alternatives when you wanna show your frustration on the road. i tend to speed up next to the car and give ‘em the “stare,” the cold-hearted, villainous type glance that has people shake in their boots, try that. or others, get in front of the car and break repeatedly, hoping they’ll be rear-ended (not sure if that’s a good look, but do what you do fam). look out for your safety first, if the person looks real gutter (white, black, puerto rican, or asian), just let that shit slide.

i was watching the latest Curb Your Enthusiasm episode and it had a little sub-plot of the “Honking” conflict, enjoy-
