The stories of white men having it so tough in this society master thread

[yoga-like_abana]

Always trying to tell the white man what he can and cannot do

[MakeItRain]

Sometimes when i'm at the gym, I have to wait like 4 games before I can jump into a basketball game, because I think they think that white men can't jump. 

I know this pain. And what makes it worse is when they wont pass it to you and look absolutely stunned when you make a good play. But, they chalk it up to luck and still don't pass it to you.

Where are you guys finding these pickup games with all of these brothas?

Even worse it's on the album strictly for my n.i.g.g.a.z

For those of you who can actually stomach hanging around black people, do you get super jeals that we always greet each other when we see another black person whether we know them or not? Are you guys jeals of the fact that we have intricate dap and we can do it with strangers and it's not at all awkward?

Well it took me about 2 minutes using the search function to find 3...

So I guess you've now officially hit your limit.

Fwiw, none of those are going to count.  Hint: never argue with the insane.

I could argue the Will Stack one but I won't. Also that took you a hell of a lot more than 2 minutes to find those. I have no idea how you found the Will Stack one.

Yes. I struggle with this, but I think I've about figured it out

[chum1]

I don't like acknowledging very many people I know, let alone any that I don't.

Well stated!

That's because you're not united in the struggle

We moved going into my ninth grade junior high year.  first day I go out to hoop after lunch, all bruthas and me, it cracked me up because these guys thought they could ball because they were black, after abusing the best one about 5 times he got so pissed he wanted to fight, he couldn't fight either.  I became good friends with most of them, the one dude never got over it but he's dead now so whatevs.

you can't just join the next team? You need to get to the pickup game thread

I always try to, but they say "nah, he had next!" even tho he didn't. He just got done playing, because he lost.  They bully me, man! Oh well, I found a gym downtown now, that has an extra side for me to shoot around. I usually like to shoot or run a few games before lifting. This is all I got, tho! I just thought I'd add to the discussion.

I really really enjoy the crap out of this song but I don't think I'm supposed to

That's not a race thing. It's a Fanning thing.

[420seriouscat69]

Nah, denied. They even do it to the streaky/fast/former JUCO player too. And he never misses.

I know Nemaha County real well and lol, no you don't.

[sonofdaxjones]

I tend to acknowledge and greet lots of folks. 

But I have noticed since being back in the Midwest a lot more, that people are much more uptight.

That's not a Midwest thing, that's a you thing.
