Ex-marine and sometime Falcon man Rod Barry is nearing 25 days sober. He’s since posted a thoughtful “Dear John” letter to alcohol and has even given up smoking, which he says is just as hard as giving up alcohol.
But what’s a recovery cocktail without a splash of race war? In the New York City rehab facility he shares with a couple dozen other recovering alcoholics, Rod is one of the only white guys. And last week, in the spirit of AA honesty and PC earnestness, he went out on a limb and asked several of his African-American cohorts to stop throwing around the “n-word.”
One dorm-mate responded by throwing a temper tantrum, ranting “about ‘white motherfucker this’ and ‘white motherfucker that.'” When Rod confronted his nemesis and told him to cut it out, others were “surprised that the skinny white boy didn’t take his shit.”
“Oh,” Rod adds. “One more thing. I am doing a great deal of jerking off. I have to be careful not to get caught by my roommate. He’s a very crusty construction worker from the Bronx.”
