it's your inner ghetto-osity coming out phil.

Yes you can, you just give a shit about what people think of you. Order the chicken and enjoy it. What's the big deal?

I used to deliver pizzas for Godfathers, and I can tell you honestly that about 95% of my black customers did not tip. The ones who did were very good tippers. Maybe there is something to that...

Instead of "whiteness," maybe you could think of it as "professional"...I don't talk at work the same way I talk around my buddies...

Subtle, but not earth shattering, and certainly nothing that is holding you back. Now, I'm certain that racism exists (on all sides, by the way) but I'm also certain that most people are good and do not carry racism to a level of hatred or deep discrimination. But lets face it, we all have a certain comfort level and we all have our pre-conceived notions about each other.

My question is, what do you want us to do about it?

The over/under for the first "How come we don't have a white history month" is currently at post #150. Keep in mind that the line can move.

It's because you subliminally seek acceptance. Which is what we have to do to "blend in" for acceptance. BTW: I've noticed your black voice.

Cancel the popup and hit play again and it'll play.
Thanks for trying.

I'd think you should dress appropriately for the situation.

WTF is your "white voice"?

I have a better idea about what it's like than you have about what it's like being black. Remember, (unless I'm a CEO or something) we have to simulate whites in order to get ahead. You don't have to do that.

Heh. I feel like a moron when it happens but it just flops out. The more black guys I'm around the more I take it on. I remember when I played a game of softball with one of your teams a few years back down in Knobtown - I was the only white guy.... Heh, I must have really broken out some slang that night. I also didn't tip and I ate some watermelon too.

Man, that black host really talks white! British white even.

I'm not looking for handouts... Just for you to watch the video and understand our point of view and realize that we're not full of excuses.

We do (not me) tend to play the race card at wrong times and situations but sometimes it's warranted.

They were more concerned with your tight ass shorts than your slang.
They were thinking, "who's the wigga in the tight shorts? They don't go together".

No, you don't have any idea what it's like to be white.

If by "simulate whites" you mean being professional, intelligent and driven, I guess. Aren't there any black people that are like that and aren't simulating whites? Obama maybe?

Donger watch the vid and then argue your point then I'll respond to any question(s)/point(s) you may have.

Wutamess, not sure if you saw this thread, but what is your take on it? I have to deal with racial shit all the time in the Army, and somehow, it's never taken seriously if it's black to white... i.e. using the word cracker, joking about white stereotypes, etc. If it was white to black...the white persons career would be in jeopardy. Maybe their job will be replaced by somebody that got hired from the AA list.

P.S. The movie is buffering, I will get back to you.

Don't know if you saw my earlier post about the convenient store and the barber shop incidents. I know this is not about ME per se, but I wonder if you would find those experiences I had satisfactory in helping me understand in some small way what it is like from your point of view?
