So..after watching

this

trailer and the title of the movie reminding me of Prince and the Murphy's, when was the last mainstream horror movie since Candy Man with a black main baddy/ghost/monster?

space sim/mmo game, with little fighter ships and big space freighters and giant space destroyers, etc. Originally I was going to start an Abolitionist Starfighters Union, and travel to the part of the Galaxy controlled by the Empire (I started out as part of the Federation) to pirate slave vessels and free their captives. that...didn't pan out.

Yep yep.

First thing it reminded me of was Wong Fei Hung's "no shadow kick" (the character's signature move) specifically, this small shot during the end fight sequence in One upon a time china 1.


Here's a fully powered up version of the no shadow kick. From Once upon a time china 2.

All this anti-tran bill and "precautions" in North Carolina is some ol' bullshit. If one of those cops tried to make me leave the women's bathroom like that girl, they could lick this clit.

I sat on it for a while. Can't think of even one. That's probably why Candy Man is still in our lexicon, cos he's literally the only one.

So for this new job they did a round of hiring of like 16 people. Real corporate by Bryant park in NYC. My friends got me and 2 other of my friends in there. 1 Asian kid 2 whites kids worked for the company, they got me and 2 others in one, black another Asian. In the round of hiring total there's 4 black dudes (me, my homie, this old black dude, and some other kid) everyone else, the one Asian dude.. Like 10 white dudes, 2 Spanish chicks and 2 white ladies..
All the math with standing there's 16 of us.

The problem is the other black dude has been constantly fucking up since day 0.
He was late to the interview.
Late the first day, has no shame eating all the complimentary food. Even left the laptop they gave us in the conference room with all his shit everywhere like it was his crib.
Late the second day, then dipped out to get breakfast while a training presentation was going on.
Late the 3rd day and one of the bosses caught him out on the street eating an orange while he was supposed to be in training.
And today not only was he late but he said he was at the secondary site because he thought that's where we were meeting. Then when we all go to the second site they say he showed up at the original spot, in jeans, and is just sitting in a conference room with no clue where anyone is at. Mind you were supposed to dress up for work but he was in jeans because "one of the vps was in jeans" so he figured it was okay.

Like what?!

I hate to see one of my own go down but, brah I can't have you making me look bad. Me and my homie show up dumb early dressed and ready to go. I even thought the old black dude was going to drop some knowledge on the guy but nope. I hear everyone cracking jokes on this kid like "can't wait to see what he does next" even the Martha Stewart old lady was like "my husband can't wait to hear stories about Akeem when I come home."

Shits embarrassing

I've watched this dude slowly get the cold shoulder from everyone, real "yeah don't want to associate with that guy" sort of thing.

I sort of feel bad, but c'mon man smarten up.
Just wanted to vent and hear thoughts..

That all just sounds like he wants to be elsewhere. Enjoy the show, I say. Just don't get caught relying on him to participate.

Again, you're probably on to something here. Wouldn't you know it, I used to wear a long brown trench when that movie came out. I can tell you with no hyperbole that over 100 dumb fucks would call me Candy Man for a looong ass time.

If there's one thing I've learned from seeing both sides, working there and gaming side of the forum.. It's that customers are usually just as bad as employees.

not many times in the mainstream they'll let a black dude run around killing a bunch of white people, as the main draw to see it, lol.

I'm with Akeem. If the VP can wear dress jeans, so can everyone else.

unless people are going out to clients. Corporate culture mindgames are funny. As long as they keep mailing us money..

Nah like the dude who was in jeans runs shit.. All our bosses come in dressed up. You can't be bottom level and say "well if the founder can wear what he wants why can't I?" On day fucking 3 no less...

Maybe if that was your only mistake, or maybe if your excuse is " I thought this was business causal" but to throw it out there like "if he can why can't I?!" C'mon man..

I like the cut of Akeem's jib. If you're not careful, he's going to end up running the place.

That VP is going to recognize that executive swagger just steaming off of the boy.

Ok, while I'm still here: I am so goddamn tired of having to see the same goddamn posts when someone makes a thread about something in modern pop culture because these dumbasses can't use google. For example: "Birdman goes off while being interviewed on the Breakfast Club"

90% of the posts end up being:
"Birdman??? Wut? You mean like the Michael Keaton movie?"
"What's a Charlamagne????"
"Trick Daddy & Ross? Is that some new Tyler Perry show?"
"I thought this was going to be about the Breakfast Club movie. I'm not really up to date on you new-age negroes and your hippity-hop slang culture over here in Bumfuck, Iowa."

I mean, I like this site alot, but geeeeeze.

While google is people's friend.

If they aren't in the hip hop, why would know they know who any of those people are?

But then that goes back to, google is your friend.

But why even go into a thread just to waste space with asking dumbass questions like "Who?" or make dumbass comments about how you can't keep up with whats going on with young people or whats going on in pop culture or whatever. We already know you ain't got no interest in the subject anyway but to go out your way to try and look like you cool and shit because you don't know a person thats famous is lame as fuck. While mothafuckas sit here having a fucking circle jerk about their favorite waifus and shit.

So? I know people who don't own TVs (or at least don't fuck with them at all) and just consume literally all their media on a laptop monitor. And I haven't listened to commercial music in years. I think I listened to Hotline Bling all the way through for the first time like two weeks ago.

Yesterday i got the old "black hair in corporate settings" speech from an older black man and woman . My hair isn't even that long its getting there but its barely an afro but I was asked if I wanted to go to the barbershop with a coworker and I was like "No". Then they started talking about how my hair might hold me back from oppurtunites and how I might scare white folks.I told them "it doesn't matter what I do I'm a 6'0 250+ black male that already scares them." Then they decided to drop it and say I just need to be careful.

Today, we went out to lunch with the office and the waiter is getting the checks ready and she was asking if the tickets were going to be separate, the older black male says "separate but equal" and of course the waiter doesn't know what to say so she dips out. I'm sitting there like "really man?" Dude tries to be hard to be funny sometimes. I just felt the joke was inappropriate for the setting and audience maybe I was just being sensitive.
