The simplest of actions, can make the greatest difference.

Please allow me to bloviate about one night, a while back. Maybe 8-10 years or so.
5 Black guys enter a bar. Sounds like the beginning of a joke.
Well, it was many bars. And it wasn't regular Black dudes. It was us. SU heads. College buddies. The type of guys to buy bottles everywhere we went and not finish them.
I visited Ferguson Missouri in November of 2014, right after the riots. This is Michael Brown's memorial. I had an eye-opening time |
When we got off the elevator, everybody around us became instantly South Korean. The house music was booming. Seems like our Black Buppy crew had crashed a South Korean birthday party for some rich IT guy. After a while there, I came to realize that this was a coworker of one of my buddies.
I was surprised at the amount of interaction from the folks there. Strangers where offering me drinks, the women were friendly, people started crowding around as if we were celebrities. I didn't know what the excitement was all about. My stupid caveman ass grew up in projects thinking that Asians don't like Blacks.
