re: Georgia networking event wants to help white people 'Come Meet a Black Person'

Likewise, about 65% of black people don't have any white friends, and the average social circle for a black American is about 83% black.

Where’s the “Come meet a white person” event? Double standard, only white people have to atone for their “racism”

Black people intimidate me. Like if I need a can of dip I’ll wait till they all leave the store before I go on because every time they ask me for money. I’m sure they are nice people but I’m tired of giving them my money because I fear if I don’t they will forcefully take it from me.

Where the do you live? I don't think I've ever had black people ask me for money. I only get that from homeless white people.

Come Meet a Black Person'

Not on my bucket list

Atlanta is 54% black and 38% white. These people are fricking morons.

Depends on where in Atlanta.

Looks like the event is in Norcross, so that’s probably about right. But go 10 miles north to Johns Creek or Suwannee and its like 80-90% white.

I’m any case, the whole idea sounds pretty cringy to me.

$15 to meet a black person seems a bit high... in my experience it's usually free

I'm from White Castle. Checked that box pretty early in life

Due to a typo, the flyer read “Come Beat a Black Person.”

Tons of cops showed up

The line would be out of the door. A small note on the bottom would read, "If you forget your baton or night stick, we will have extras readily available at the door"

I feel like it would be beneficial for the majority of the posters on this site to attend such an event.

They prefer seeing their blacks on the field on Saturday or Sundays. That's where the relationship begins and ends

I'd be shocked if there are any white people near Atlanta that don't know black people.

I might could understand having this event in Montana, but Atlanta?

Well, aren't there only like 8 black people in Montana? I'm sure those guys are stretched pretty thin as it is.
