Was that the last time you almost interacted with a black person?

Nah it was way before that. A less threatening white worker had to relay the story to Ant.

(just playin, Ant, I'm sure that you talk to the blacks all the time)

Today. We had some BBQ and reminisced about college. :laughing:

Black people go to college?

I usually use "African Americans" when I'm being all uppity about politics and "mah n***as" when it's a casual conversation.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

The Batlord 05-02-2020 01:44 PM

Yeah because you're prejudiced and narrowminded.

Wow. That’s the first time I’ve heard the I have black friends thing in reverse.

Who is we? I have more than a few racist bones in my body but I'd rather talk to an uneducated black person with a hood stereotype name who has actual personality than some white person who shares some of my interests but is boring middle class trash. I mean I feel like an alien where ever I go and don't connect with 99.9% of anybody so as long as we can share some laughs and talk some fun **** together I don't much care who you are, how you speak, or how you dress. Just entertain me and I'm good cause I wasn't expecting even that much from you anyway.
