Growing up in the 90s was funnier,
people actually thought it was cool to be racist...last year, I was coming into my condo under a pouring rain, when one of my neighbour looks at me and ask me if I've ever seen this much rain in my life..
ffs I grew in belgium...

jevad's username also threw me off..
- I started here as 'shaft'. One of the reasons I gave it up was people addressed me "bro". and I felt I cheated them..rafalski
- shaft seems really dirty to me. now you remind me of a hockey player / defenseman (which is cool...)Jaline
- Jaline you're a little frisky today!.Spookytim
- I'm always like that...Jaline

stop the press.
I have one other brown friend, I just remembered and he's going out with my friend Iain, which makes him both brown AND gay.
How'd I get this right-on?

a friend of mine works in IT at Miller Brewing and they hired this guy in purchasing from rural michigan. My friend felt sorry for the guy because he didnt have any friends here so we invited him to a bbq at my mama's house. Something was going on in my family in the nineties where 4 of my cousins married and or had babies with black dudes. So the bbq's are quite multi-racial. You could see this dude was a bit freaked out. So the bbq went off without a hitch and we went out with the guy again and he starts saying this and that about not wanting to drive in "browntown" and so on. We left his ass at the bar.
- what did you do with the rest of him?kelpie
- ha, funny thing is where he was he had to drive thru what he referred to as browntown.mrdobolina
- Haha!slappy
- is this an area with poor sanitation standards or something?kelpie

A great piece of standup on the subject of casual racism by stuart lee, one of the best standups ever imho:
- Pure genius.Spookytim

- maybe it's a canadian thing eh?BaskerviIle
- yeah, that's what I mean! Maybe I don't get the humour...Jaline

In a failed bid to ingratiate myself with a lovely girl I met out a few months back, I ended up snorting a few lines of that insidious shit, cocaine. My bid failed primarily because it turns out she was doing Ket, so we very quickly polarised to opposite ends of the conversation scale. Actually, that's a secondary reason - it failed primarily because I'm a conversational retard.
Anyhoo, this unwanted coke session led to my being stuck in someone's living room at 7am with a gorgeous 'mixed race' girl and some other dude, who was infintely more coked up than I and hellbent on getting into her panties. By the time my brain was utterly fried the conversation turned to race, specifically how this girl had dealt with things through her youth. The coked up white guy started going on about his mum being 'mixed race' or something, and the trouble he'd had as a youth. Frankly, I didn't really believe him and was quite disgusted by his overwrought sliminess, so in what I thought was a bid to give this girl a get out, I began to pipe up with a half-remembered tale of one of my own experiences as a ginger 'Scottish' kid growing up abroad. Trouble is, my completely vapid brain only got as far as mumbling "I was once a victim of racial abuse..", after which another part of me realised how insipidly fuckwitted this sounded and shut down my conversation centre - so I was just left hanging there, with these two staring quizzically at me in the cold morning light. When coked up guy said "so, who's friend are you again?" I knew it was time to go, so I quietly trudged the 45 minutes home from Camden.
I haven't left Islington since.
- Where in Islington are you besed?creative-
- shoulda PIITB... thats what i do when i cant think of something to say734
- Nice one Ginger.Spookytim
- "so, who's friend are you again?"
- I'm sorry, but that cracked me right up.blaw - heh, blaw - I've been on the other side of the fence so many times - I felt like such a hanger on 'tardwit. Drugs are silly bad.detritus
- Which one though, 734?
:\detritus - HOLLOWAY MASSIF, 4 EVAdetritus
- well i was gonna say the girl, but if you went after the guy that wouldve been a hell of a comeback, haha734
- you need more conversational CONVICTION my boy. You should have verbally stomped all over the fanny. Remember your roots brother.kelpie
- your roots brotherkelpie
- 'stomped all over his fanny' = PIITB734
- Poo In Ike Turner's Bed?Spookytim
- Ike is gone man, that is NOT cool.kelpie
- Kelpie - I'd earlier been quite coked up, pretentious and argumentative - you'd've been proud. Here, I was pure zombidetritus
- er.. not to say that I think you've any of those qualities - just that you'd've been amused seeing me POWERHOUSE the convodetritus
- Some fuckwit even derisively called me a 'intellectual'. That they forgot to preface it with pseudo- made me spit bile.detritus
- I know I'm doomed when people actually buy my verbal diarrhea.detritus
- oh man, I have all those qualities, I am a terrible terrible coke head. Its great fun.kelpie
- Oh, Hate how people are on Coke. If ever there's a meet up I'll have to check if you're cokin it 1st.Spookytim
- No need - I loathe the shit myself - first time I'd touched it in 6 or so years - I only did it 'cos of the girl I was speakng todetritus

Ha. One time i was in this party, was weird trip. When i still used to do harder drugs, and this fucking English kid, blonde hair, blue eyes starting chatting to me about how his great grandmother was from Burma, which he said was basically next to Pakistan. I was like "no it's not, it's other side of the indian continent." And he was like "yeah, well pretty close, that sorta region.. so when people use the word 'Paki', it offends me too!" and i was like "Bro, you are not a Paki." "Well i dont look it but my great grandmother..." "no no, mate, YOU are not a Paki.." hehe

when i engage in dialogue with people like detritus, creative and spooky etc. i feel that i should pad my vocabulary so as not to offend them with my vulgar american way of speaking. i often find myself writing and rewriting my responses to make sure that nothing is semantically offensive... oh and i try to insert 'u's where i can tou make theum feel as if they aure speauking their natiuve english and not conveursing with a bumbling twat from america who is salughtering their native tongue
does this make me raucist?

One of my ex-girlfriend's (same one as above) best friends started going out with a black guy. The friend's dad's reaction was "Oh I see, your best friend's got one so now you want one".
I swear I am not making these up.

my gf's dad can be a bit racist sometimes, he's a nice guy but it's just that he's never lived outside the small predominantly white part of england that he lives in. It freaks me out when I visit that there are literally only white people around their village.
He uses phrases such as 'just off the boat' and I have to fight every instinct in me not to confront him about it, I know I really should call him on it but I don't want to cause tension

I am greatly entertained by this. As a black man with a white wife and 3 "hybrid" children, I have a racist mother, a father who married a white woman, a mother-in-law who married a black man and a father-in-law who thinks i'm the greatest thing since sliced bread, I get to experience all sorts of dynamics. Oh, did I mention that my wife and myself grew up and still live in the first planned city in America that was created to put multiple races all within arms length of each other, yet somehow, we still get funny looks when we're out and about? Even though interracial couples are pretty much the norm round these parts, it's still frowned upon, mainly by black folks though. It seems that we're just an angry bunch.

i am a (very) white guy. had a relationship with a black girl i worked with once. one of my exes hated this. she didnt care about any of the other girls i had been with(which is not that many) , but she had a huge problem with the 'black girl'
really kinda ridiculous and sad
