Whitey outplaying the one playing the observant highground

>not fucking the one race that will fuck you just because you're white

>>12039286
From the creators of "The Holocaust Center" and "Border Centers", comes "Muslim Prayer Room". In theaters now.

>>12039308
always wondered why the asian girls were so nice to me

shame I was an autist that spent 80% of Uni in my room

>>12039419
I have a Taiwanese roommate who I think is "emotionally cheating" on her bf with me, that is, if you think having a platonic relationship involving deep conversations is "emotionally cheating."

>at brown university
>person asks me for directions to the library

>>12039286
>he didn't tap her fat turkish ass

>When your country is so far gone that your university has a terror attack planning cent- I mean muslim prayer room

>>12039255
>at brown university
>see white people

>>12039741
You're a faggot to even think "emotional cheating" is a thing. You're being used as an emotional tampon to someone fucking other people.

>>12039764
Lmao dude holy shit did I even say I liked her? I didn't. This place is /r9k/ for sad reader bois. Fuck off.

>at bookstore
>ask if they have some intro tier philosophy book
>"oh this, this must be for a class"
i didnt tell her it wasnt but i feel kind of offended that she just assumed it was for a class. this ever happen to you guys?

>>12039842
She was probably just trying to make chitchat, relate to you a bit as a student (which is what she perceived you were.) If anything, take it as a compliment, it probably means you don't look homeless and that's always a good thing.

>>12039255
>at Uni library
>feel low-key offended when I meet this foreign East/Southeast Asian student who keeps bringing his Penguin Classics & Reclam to read whenever he takes 1-2 hours break from studying.
Should I try to talk to him, /lit/?

>>12039894
>feel low-key offended

By the edition? Really.

I recommend you don't talk to anyone

>>12039906
Reclam is for obnoxious pseuds.

>>12039912
That's called projecting, anon. You don't know why he owns that edition, anyway. I order the cheapest shit I can find online, and sometimes I pick up fucking BASED editions from flea markets. There's no correlation there. Like sometimes I'll buy the B&N refurbished editions of classics with the chintzy holographic designs just because it's cheaper. Who cares about the edition outside of translations?

>sitting in the uni cafeteria rereading For Whom the Bell Tolls
>son of a bitch cock sucking piece of shit sits down next to me, goes "whats good dude"
>mfw dont get to eat with ernest

>>12039255
>tfw black
>tfw took up reading seriously a month ago
>already read 3 books

*dabs on /lit/

>>12039921
Awww, you probably seemed lonely. I ate alone one time on Valentine's Day and I got "heckled" by a bunch of girls sitting near me, but in retrospect I probably took it poorly.

There's a time for everything, anon. Don't pass up the social moment in the cafeteria because you'd rather be doing something that's better done in isolation.

>>12039926
i punched him in the dick

>>12039929
You probably looked like an asshole in that cafeteria, anon. Admit it. I bet you were pushing up your glasses a lot and dryly chuckling out of the side of your mouth. Do you own a pince-nez?

Admit it, anon. Show us the pince-nez.

>>12039926
Male people actually get bulled by women? They're always so nice to me.

>>12039939
Yeah if you look like an asshole. Although, to be fair, receiving attention from women is always better than the alternative. If a girl is paying attention to you it means you seem safe in one way or another. Which is why I regret not trying to slide in as a response.

>>12039936
>wearing a pince nez
>not reading henry james' "the jolly corner" and swearing to monocles forever

im dry chuckling rn

>>12039989
Oh, so you wear a monocle then? GG better luck next time

GENTRIFICATION

Motion activated flood lights illuminate my melanin rich face as I walk along the streets that were once so diligently maintained in darkness by security minded crack distributors, a beautiful, all-encompassing ebony night sky that served as the backdrop for well-reasoned intellectual debates about the nature of paternal obligation that seems only now to be a distant memory.

I lie awake at night, automatic in hand, waiting for the pop pop pops of backfiring Volvos and small caliber pistols, the accompanying screams of childless mothers, the phone call from Big Purp, and the low grumble of his stolen Cadillac that signified a night of character-defining vengeance and conflict; only to be left with the chirping of crickets and the early morning departure of hapless office drones as I nurse a final bottle of Ol' English.

The 40 oz can of Ol' English, at once an old friend and a bitter enemy. Emblematic of the wild, unconstrained block parties that joined the din of gunshots and domestic arguments to form the city's unique nighttime auditory signature, but now serves as cold comfort for the crushing loneliness and resentment towards the meek, silent, white devils that ruined yet another great black neighborhood.

>>12039434
>if you think having a platonic relationship involving deep conversations is "emotionally cheating."
Only if the man does it. Likewise, physically cheating is only cheating if the woman does it.

>>12040026
Damn, DAMN

That has potential. It needs to be cleaned up, but there's something beautifully satirical and kinda gangster-romantic about this writing. I really love the bit about the "final bottle of Ol' English," that reminds me of every drinking binge I've ever had.

>at university
>in line to get a coffee, stand next to (highly accomplished, internationally renowned) professor
>he gives a friendly nod and strikes up conversation
>I ask him about a writer from his last lecture
>he tries to talk about the sandwich selection but I insist on giving my undergrad take on present literature as sustained romanticism
>he takes a ham & cheese, winks at me, says "don't tell" and walks away without paying or getting his coffee
>I'm amazed, feel like he just selected me as his protegé
>a week later he gives me a C-
>realize he just wanted to leave the conversation
>realize I referred to M.H. Abrams as W.H. Auden

>>12039255
Fuck niggers, do i fit in now fellow 4channers? heck yeah, i havent touched anyone in like 2 years.

>>12040175
Haha, I did this once to a professor I really loved. I started talking about a completely different work in CLASS as well. I think I was talking about Aurelius and he was talking about the actual guy we were reading. It was hella embarrassing. Later he told me in office hours that I was like a B-Vitamin shot to his heart because of how energized I was in discussion, but I just felt like a pseud after that one traumatic day in class.

>>12040221
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're probably one of the few people who actually participated in that class and he likely appreciated you. Gurantee he doesn't even remember that day.

>>12040301
You're probably right, since he's really fucking old :(

>>12040175
kek

>look homeless
>spend all day at library
>not actually homeless

>at used book store run by british expat in canada
>"do you have anything by wittgenstein"
>"Litgenstine? how do you spell that?"
i know i can be a pseud but holy fuck

>go to uni library
>entrance is littered with stalls of ethnic clubs trying to recruit

>>12039255
Lots of homeless people use the library computers to fap to porn.
And to rape and murder the occasional white who wanders into their lair.

>>12039269
>>12039347

Stop being a fucking racist.

>girls comes up to me in the library
>asks me where the bathroom is
>give her directions
>later on, realize I gave her directions to the male toilets which are on a seperate floor to the female ones
>never see her again

>>12042070
sorry, but I was asked in such a way as only a lip-smacker is capable of and needed to vent

>>12039255

>>12041917
its a quote from infinite jest. goes something like i read. i bet ive read everything youve read. i wear out spines and ROM drives. i do things like get in a taxi and say "the library and step on it.".

>>12039255
When a brown person asks me something I always assume it’s for money or a cigarette or they’re going to rob me. I automatically say “nah sorry” and palm my pistol.
