Harmless Observation 2 (Crackheads and Color Blindness) [www.jongoode.webs.com]

Harmless Observation #2 Crackheads and color blindness.
What is it about crack cocaine that renders the end user unable to distinguish red from green?
Red the color that really pissed off bulls (Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are furious).
Green the street name for marijuana (I got that green shawty).
Red the color of the eyes of people who smoke green (you take a 15 minute break and come back to your desk smelling like burning pine needles).
Green slang for money ... sometimes used to buy marijuana (you want that green you need to give me that green) (what?).
Red what guys down south call fair skinned women (Ay yo red... Ay yo red... got that green shawty).
Green the color of men from space who are coming to steal the world from white people.
Red the color of men from North America who had their world stolen by white people.
We all seem clear on the concept.
So why is it that every time I'm at the light the entire time I've got a red the crack head is standing alone on the corner?
But the second I've got a green he's magically in the middle of the street with his cracked out friends, a grocery cart, every aluminum can anyone has disposed of in the last 24 hours everywhere smiling at me with teeth that look a bad roll of dice? That's why I've started The HACHGATDS (Helping All Crack Heads Get Across The Damn Street) Foundation where we'll cure color blindness one crack head at a time.
