2. "My wife got ripped into for that." In response to Reply # 1
When we were just friends she worked as a secretary for a group of GM engineers. They had a potluck lunch, she brought watermelon, the Black engineers weren't having it and told her to put that shit up.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

i'd hold one and if someone didn't say thank you...i'd let the 2nd one close on them and watch them catch it in the shoulder.....door was nice and heavy too.

More often than not, they have their phones in their hands (with the screen lit) while driving. They take a long time to pull away from green lights (maybe because of the phone?) and they drift around in their lane (and other lanes) like crazy. Lane changes are often done with looking in the mirrors and/or a headcheck.

6. "At the library, Asian father and son..." In response to Reply # 0
Dad with his laptop doing something from a book he was reading there. Son was sitting at the table with his back to me, so I could see his laptop screen; lil dude was MAYBE 6 or 7 taking a test on HTML5.
I cracked a smile. ---------------------------

13. "Old(er) black women take a looooooong time at the ATM" In response to Reply # 0
It's to the point that if I see a black woman that appears to be over 50 at the machine, I'll automatically just start walking to the next one a block or two over. It's faster that way.

34. "That shit incenses me." In response to Reply # 23
I can deposit a check, check my balance and take money out all with only one card insert. For the life of me I can't figure out why older black women gotta put the card in 2, 3, 4 times and still ain't done yet.

28. "I got on the work elevator wi th two hasidic jews" In response to Reply # 0
I got on first and didn't bother to hold the door open button as they were 3 steps behind. They got on as well, looked at the keypads, then mumbled something to me, as the elevator began to rise. I said excuse me with an attitude and he repeated his comment about the weather. We made small talk and all got off on the same floor.
I felt like an ass bc i assumed he was mumbling to me to press his floor smh.

35. "my boy rented an apartment from one of them" In response to Reply # 28
and told me "every stereotype about those motherfuckers is true"
he was so pissed all I could do is laugh.
another time an older woman's total at the print shop came to 23 cents. She handed me 2 dimes. I said 3 more cents... and she just stared at me for a minute with eyes that said "woe is me"
then she pulled out a change purse filled with coins.
my white coworker was like: my friend, have you just experienced the jewish shake down.

36. "The muthafucking JCC nickle-and-dimes the shit out of people" In response to Reply # 0
We're back to using the JCC as our gym, and that shit is a mess. First and foremost, it's not cheap. There are two membership types; regular and platinum. Regular is not cheap. It's on that YMCA/LA Fitness tier.
-Regular members don't get towels or have access to the locker room with the whirlpool, sauna or steam room.
-NONE of the exercise classes are included in the membership. You must pay per class. We have a family membership that my wife doesn't use, because she only likes classes.
-You can pay $9 for babysitting at the time of dropoff or you can pay $30/mo. They do not prorate, and they ONLY use the calendar month, so if you sign up on the 15th, you only get half the month at full price.
-You must pay for a full year. Yes, if you cancel your membership, whey will continue to bill you until the end of your contract.
