Do you think that he can have a beer and hang with any random white guy? Is that how it's done in the black community? "Hey, I'm black; and he's black. We should have a beer together or something." ;\)

Seriously, though, don't most people tolerate other people because they're 'familiar' with them and not just because of race?


Obviously people tend to gravitate towards that which is familiar. Most of the bars I go to regularly tend to be mixed race but more black that white. That said, there are quite a few black guys that are regulars there that I have no interest in hanging with for whatever reason. I tend to "have a beer" or scotch in my case with somebody not based so much on race but on what kind of conversation a person has. If I'm sitting there and some guy starts talking about sports, politics, the fine broad that just walked thru the door or anything else that interests me, then we'll probably sit there and drink and talk. Most of the guys that I hang with feel the same way. Nobody I know would ever say "I won't drink with that guy cuz he's[insert race here]". I'll drink with anybody as long as you're interesting and don't become a beer muscle asshole after 3 drinks.

Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
