I call everyone bro...whether they're white, black, brown, female, yellow, etc.

I call everyone brother.

I don't discriminate, I integrate.

i know where you going with this, and the answer is a complex one. yes and no.

so black people call black people brother....whil whteys call eahcother bro.

i call lots of people brother, some black some not.

if they call you nigga, then you may have a valid complaint.

Whatever. I don't know why they call you brother, maybe that's what they're used of hearing/seeing.

First it's the N word, now brother.

I call nearly every guy that I know "brother" at one point or another.

Is there a problem with that?

my new manager calls me brother............

im white........im confused...........so are you........

Re: whats up with white people.....

oh i'd really love to know where you're pulling these stats from.

and if really bothers you that much, why don't you ask the next guy who calls you 'brother' to stop, or ask him why he calls you 'brother'

hahaha, you dudes are funny,

you got me all wrong, im not complaining about it, its just an observation which can get annoying sometimes coz i know the only reason the word brother is used is coz that person is dealing with a black person.

i understand that brother is a common thing to say, but none the less its more common for white people to call a black person brother then to call a white person brother. my personal opinion is that the white person is using the term "brother" to show that he is cool and acknowledges the fact that im black but wants me to know that they are cool with that and that i should not think that they are racist. meh, maybe i dont make sense, but thats what i think.

you prick, im not singling out a race, im just stating my observation, and as for stats, thats just straight out my ass, its not like i know for sure. come on dude, if you think that this topic is that serious then you need to chill out, coz im not attacking anyone, i just wanted to understand something.

i guess it would be easier for me to understand certain things if i was north american, but im not, im actually african, so its a different culture to me all together, so when i ask questions, im not attacking anyone, its more a way of understanding north american culture.

Blame Hulk Hugan, we grew up on him using it during his KoKo-B-Ware friendship.

This thread reminds me of Carlos Mencia's sketch on when it's ok to use the n word without being racist...

I got to find it on YouTube.

The resemblance between you two is uncanny afterall
