Trust me when I say that the guys I hung out with wouldnt have given a flying [censored] about someone saying brother to them, esp. in a situation like the OP. If you arent black yourself, then I am quite sure I have a better idea of a black guy's POV than you do.

There definitely is no more than one type of black guy. And that would be the kind you met in high school. They're pretty much all alike.

You know, this thread is the first time I think Ive seen a post of yours where I thouht you were flat out wrong. And I am sure you dont seriously think I believe that there is only one type of black guy in the world. Within their community, the guys I hung with were a pretty diverse group and so I feel comfortable making the generalization. There probably are black guys who get upset about this. The funny thing is that I am unfailingly polite to people and have never had a problem with using the word brother. Being genuine is really all that is required.
