Social WR Lounge 243: Can you make threads while yellow?

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Still can't believe the Mamba is gone man. Hate him or love him, you had to respect his steez.

I never disliked Kobe. The dude was a legendary player too.

I appreciate great players even if they’re not on my “team”

1) You'd be surprised how often you have to toss one

I bet I go through more on a yearly basis on a strictly accidental basis

If chevy isn't gonna use the Like A Rock song anymore Viagra should license it

I've always liked persons of color (/ white persons) because it implies individuality and individual consciousness. "Persons of color" speaks to me as describing individuals who happen to have a certain trait, whereas "people of color" doesn't quite as much and "colored people" sounds like more of a defining language than a descriptive one.

Also, just as a kind of related topic, one thing that I have long been working on personally is cutting back on "you guys," "hey, guys," etc. when addressing mixed company. The problem is that, if I'm nervous or under pressure, that's what my mind defaults to. So in situations where I should be most cognizant of it, I tend to actually use it the most. And "you all" just doesn't hit my tongue right.

I often resort to "you folks".

How many? I literally walk out of clubs and toss them in the trash. At least 10 a year

Before you take it the wrong way it's a sports bar joke

On accident? Wtf
I think I average one every 6 weeks.

 

[Andy Capp]

Few can see it. See, now that is white privilege. Black privilege is never getting red faced when they're trying to hide being embarrassed or mad.

And being under diagnosed for skin cancer because doctors receive insufficient or no training recognizing areas of concern on dark skinned people. Yeah, privilege woo.

10% off his rate, I'm always full freight.

Dropped a sick rhyme, definitely black.

No. My dumbass gives one of my numbers out to strippers when I get drunk and then someone who is with me tells me. It gets tossed immediately. I never save it to Google so I just get one overnighted and cloned in the Sprint store

I mean I’m a Knicks fan but they’ve been hard to be a fan of for decades lol

I have nothing against using "you guys" but I often say "y'all" which is probably not an improvement

Potatoes are gross, IMO. And I've learned that you're also supposed to ask the other person how they're doing. Wasn't even that long ago that I saw this (white) woman who I sort of know in the parking lot. I waved and smiled, and she asked how I was. I said good, and kept walking. "I'm fine BTW." And then she even told me wife about it. Like, fuck you lady. Why do we need four conversational touches? Two should be sufficient (and we had three)". Where I'm from, we just raise our eyebrows and don't break stride. I started doing it, though.

I'll often respond with "Good enough" which often invokes a ""what do you mean" to which I respond with "Can't complain but could be better" and that's usually the end of that.

Especially when they weren't actual masseuses.

Technicalities.

He learned nothing from Harden lol

I must have missed this story. Thought he just liked to hang out in the clubs.
