Some white guy drops his wallet, you pick it up and hand it to him, he says "Thanks, brother!" -- do you rage?

Also, consider Hulk Hogan, brother!!!

Not enough options. If I'm in prison, I'm calling my Aryan Nation brothers 'brothers' all the fuckin' time. Nothing hippie or sons of Adam about that.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 29, 2015, 12:46:59 PM »

I still feel like there are options missing. Shouldn't Hulk Hogan get some sort of representation?

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #6 on:** January 29, 2015, 12:51:00 PM »

Alright, added a Hogan option and reset, but that's all you get

My white friends will call me brother too. They use to get a bit embarrassed but hell, it don't bother me.

This is an issue? What happened to just being nice? Suddenly thats not cool? Fuck off, bro.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2015, 12:55:26 PM »

I fall firmly on the side of it being just fine and do it in practice, but it was recently suggested to me (by a white woman, ofc) that it may be offensive

Only my brother gets a brother. Brehs is only an online thing.

I have a better idea for a poll, inspired by Broad City last night:

Would you rather lick a dead man’s penis, or have sex with the same person for the rest of your life?

Am qualified to speak on this unlike her.

It is not offensive unless you try to sound black when you're saying brother. Even then it isn't offensive...it's funny.

But then I couldn't give them the nod. The look of 'I see you,breh.'

No reason to rage. I'll wonder if he's just saying it cause I'm black, but then tell myself to stop over thinking something so simple.

Does it make any difference to you guys if they use a "hard r" when they say it. Brother as opposed to brotha

I'm leaning towards against, since it's almost always used by low lifes like hippies or the homeless. I'm not your brother, dirt person. Stay away.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #23 on:** January 29, 2015, 04:21:19 PM »

It's only corny if it comes from a corny dude. Most people can say it without weirdness, regardless of race. Whereas "brotha" from a white non-British or Australian is just...

Dennis · « **Reply #24 on:** January 29, 2015, 04:25:53 PM »

Well, it sounds distinguished mentally-challenged, corny and fake when black people do it so I don't see it working for white guys either.

How can a black man - the original man - be fake in anything, compared to the lab created monstrosity that is you, son of Yakub.

I use bro all the time. the sad part is that in our group of friends it started as a joke of sorts, a game to see how often we could work bro into a regular conversation. now we conduct annual brounions and bro out. i seriously just texted a bro of mine "BROOOOO" like 10 minutes ago. fuck.

what i'm trying to say is that experimenting with bro ruined my life. not even once brehs.
