No Race-o.

When you hang out with black people as much as I do, there's always a certain amount of anxiety when you're having a conversation.  God forbid the flow becomes too comfortable and you say something unintentionally prejudice.  Example:

Brotha:  So how was the party?

Honky:  It was awesome, there were a lot of black people.

Brotha:  Why'd you have to mention that?  You think just because I'm black I need to know that there were other black people at the party?  What are you gunna ask next, if I knew any of them?

These situations are usually followed by a cold, dead silence or a swift jab to the jaw.  As I have stated before, my white readers, I am here to act as a bridge between communities; my first order of business is to enact the "Unintentionally Racist Statement" statement, also known as "No Race-o." 

Used a lot like "no homo" for our homophobic friends, "no race-o" is meant to be delivered swiftly after dishing out a mild, unintentional racist comment.  Let's take a look at this technique administered in the same situation as before:

Brotha:  So how was the party?

Honky:  It was awesome, there were a lot of black people.  No race-o.
Brotha:  Oh, whaaaaat?  Was Rahkeem there?

Flawless.  Notice how the "brotha's" reception was muuuuch different than before?  This is because the "honky" added "no race-o" to the end of his statement.

Ah, enjoy that haters.  This is fuckin' real shit right here.  I am doing things for the community your mom fantasizes about doing with her vagina.
