I'm not looking at those things. Those people are crazy.

Man....what are you talking about? All I said is these girls weren't thick. They aren't. I'm sure there are black males who'd agree with me. In fact...I'm sure that almost everyone, regardless of culture, would agree with me.

I love women. You can't tell me I 'can't see' something. I see everything and I love them.

i'm not the white guy you met in college. I don't live hip hop and don't speak ebonics. I talk more like a Canadian hoser.

Whatever gets you through the night. I'm not part of your community? Sniffles.

If you were at peace with all this you wouldn't have gotten upset in the first place. You'd just say to yourself 'Denny doesn't know about thickness because he's white'. But you need to point out the racial difference cause you're uncomfortable. Uncomfortable cause I think those chickies are skinny.
