The Professional Rationalist, John Butler, was spending time with a female friend that happened to be African American. She went to the fridge to get a beverage of her choice, and noticed the save the date magnet for a young couple that happened to be white. She shouted in a WB, UPN, ghetto girl voice, "OMG, you have white friends."
The Professional Rationalist immediately turned into Cliff Huxtable and explained in after school special form that white people are just like black people, don't bite, and can be your friends too.
The interaction between the Professional Rationalist and Lil Kim (obviously not the young lady's name but will be used for comedic purposes) illustrates that many people may not actually have friends from different races. Yes, you may speak to the parent of white kids on your child's sports team, you may go to lunch with a coworker, and you may share your weekend highlights with your company's doorperson. Yet, you aren't go in their house and take your shoes off friends.
This made me think. I have done some amazing things in my life. Many of them have been while I was in the company of white people. Admittedly, two of my best friends happen to not have pigment. Therefore, I speak from personal experience when I say that white people, other than the whole slavery situation, offer huge benefits such as sampling for rap music, exotic foods, camping trips, and networking for jobs.
Therefore, in honor or Elizabeth Taylor, Grey from Greys Anatomy, Michael Jackson, The Rat Pack, Tyrone from the show California Dreams, the nappy headed black kid from Barney, Eminem, The Willis' from the Jefferson's, Lisa Turtle from Saved by the Bell, Hall & Oates, The Beastie Boys, and Tina Marie, we will be bringing to you a feature that explains all of the cool things you can do with white people that you would never do with black people.
Right on my brothers and sisters.
