I heard "...take all the good men..."

And a lot of other racially charged comments. Luckily for them, my friend didn't hear them. (I have hyper-active hearing and I can hear **** like this all the time). That would have been an ugly scene and they would have looked like even bigger *******s than they were.

Have we really come anywhere in race relations? These women were about 28-35...so it's not like they were from the Brown V. Board of Education days. They've been raised in a society that encourages inclusion and tolerance of differences.

I was shocked. As I left, I looked directly at them and towards them. One of them got pissed, one of them buried her head in shame.

So, tRCMB...what's the deal? Do we talk a good game but don't follow through with it?

Does anyone here...honestly...have a problem with two people of different "races" and sexes having dinner together?
Depends where this occurred, some areas are still in the era of Reconstruction no matter what year the calendar says it is.
