Keep It Real

I didnt know people still said they kept things real. Well, to ruin the rest of the blog, all black men do.

To be fair, I only have talked to one black man in the last 10 months.

He came with his girlfriend to a birthday bowling extravaganza (the girlfriend is black, I am not a racist, when it comes to blacks).

I had never met the boyfriend so I tried to talk him up and help him be more comfortable. We tried talking, but his face and ability to communicate reminded me of a pigeon that has been shot by a BB gun then ran over by a tractor and urinated on by a burro.

We finally found something to talk about. I brought up his shirt. His shirt is a mix of FUBU, MMA and Tommy Hilfiger.

I was wondering where one could find a black man's shirt that had stick figurish people doing jujitsu all over a white canvas with a collar? He started out by snickering at the humorous way I noticed he was wearing this shirt. (I said, interesting shirt).

The he said, well, ya'know, i's got to keep it real, so i go to generic black store, you know how I keep it real. I suggested yes, you are the keeper of the real. I asked if he wanted to take my turn bowling, he laughed and muttered more about keeping it real. I then invited him to go swimming and then I quickly moved over to the lane and threw my 7 /.

I failed at keeping it real since my actual Bday is Friday.
