Yeah.. that kind of stuff doesn't mean anything.. People become "uppity" black when they see a homeless black man and will act like he's not there..

That lady was CRAZY...dont pay her any attention...i think she just wanted to be nosey...and she apparently had nothing else to do with her time, so she decided to mess with you!!
