Author Topic: Do you need a black friend? Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-25-2007 11:47 PM                     Lawton, OK is a very diverse community due to influences from its Native American heritage and population inflow/outflow from Fort Sill. Nevertheless, none of my close friends currently is black. I've dated black and "molado" women in previous years. Does that count?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I could use another black friend. I have a black brother-in-law. He has become a good friend of mine. He is friggin hilarious. It was a big scandal 7 years ago when they got married. Now they have two adorable kids.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-26-2007 11:59 AM                     My best friend growing up lived in Carmel so I drove threw there often. I only go there now for Shapiro's Deli, (if you haven't tried it go on your next trip). "Black friends" are not to welcome in Carmel.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-26-2007 04:32 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer I think black people account for less than 14% of the US population so it's not odd that you'd find yourself in such situations. Approximately 12% (about 27 million Americans) considered themselves "African American" in the 2000 Census. One of the men who trained me to be a projectionist is black, but no longer works in this industry. He was a good operator too so it was tough for a while until the rest of us were able to step up.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 10-26-2007 05:15 PM                     Offer refused, Shane.

Damn Right! Are you transplanted from Ohio Shane? Speaking of black friends and Ohio State...I used to know Orlando Pace. We went to high school together and graduated the same year. We sat next to each other in several of our classes because we were both tall and had to sit in the back. He is a good guy.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-27-2007 04:49 PM                     Ohio is a place in which no one was born, and its a place in which no one wishes to stay.

They're still in college, they're not even real people yet.  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 10-28-2007 12:26 AM                     It is spelled Alexis de Tocqueville. You would know that if you went to Ohio State.

You would know that if you went to Ohio State. Why? Is that required knowledge there? I guess that place is more about sports than academics/intelligence. I am always amazed at the emphasis colleges place on their sports divisions.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-28-2007 12:43 AM                     quote: Joshua Waaland Are you transplanted from Ohio Shane? Ohio was one of my many stops and my wife and I loved Columbus. I was born in Richmond, IN and most of my family lives between Richmond and Dayton so I was a natural Buckeye, (despite being a natural Hoosier).  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 10-28-2007 01:41 AM                    Send me some cash and I'll think it over.  |  IP: Logged
