IDK exactly what that means, but I guess he was saying, "Don't be out-of-line," so I clarified, "you said you're taking shit from white people. I hope no white people give you any shit today." He says, "Look. I don't like white people." So I respond with, "Well, I'm sorry 'bout that; I'm in your space." And I just ignored him the rest of the ride. He left me alone after that.


While you meant well and it turned out fine, I'm not sure engaging with someone yelling on a bus is a good idea. What if he's mentally ill, and looking for an excuse to bop someone on the nose?
