A white guy from West Virginia, a Mexican American from Brownsville Texas, and a Black dude from Compton CA all meet each other for the first time and are forced to live together for two years what do you think happens?
Hey Fever:
- Thread starter Marine03
- Start date
Black dude starts posting mirrored selfies showing his arm pits on Instagram??? Black dude starts getting attracted to the hot piece of Mexican ass and decides to go on the "down low"???
Lol no.
In response to fevers all but lost hope in humanity in this country I thought I'd share a story of three guys from completely different backgrounds who were able to forge a friendship that still remains in tact to this day. The three of us met in 1995 and we were all checking in to the Admin clerk at the same time, so we were forced to room together as a result. At first it was odd, I'd never seen a real life Mexican, I wasn't all that fond of blacks at the time either. I grew up in Beckley and if you ask some 40 year olds who still remember me they can explain why, (I fought a lot, rest is for a different time)
But Marcus Delrey, Mario Gonzalez, and myself eventually got comfortable with each other, so much in fact that no topic was off limits, no words could be said that we couldn't take back and we would cover any and every topic that came about at the time. We all agreed to spend time at each other's home so for 10 days I was in Brownsville, and Compton and was able to experience a culture I otherwise would've never known. (Yes they came to Beckley, we ate at Rio Grande and I took them to a bar named the Roadhouse neither were impressed but the shock value on their face was fvcking hilarious). What I found were decent people who have their own struggles that aren't really much different then my own families. I was able to befriend many members of their own families and they did mine. We still talk to this day although not as often as we should, we all have jobs, kids, etc. I am a much better person today than I ever would've imagined and I owe a lot of that to these two men whom I've shared the past twenty years with.
You see, in order to truly appreciate what this country has to offer, you really have to experience it first. Befriend someone you never thought you would and have an open honest relationship and you'll see not everything in our country is as bad as you may think.

Thanks GK, the stories I could tell with these two would make you piss your pants laughing. And the things we said to each other would make anyone I know uncomfortable. Sometimes we did it just to see other people's reaction, like at a resteraunt, at a store, or a bar.
When we got to Beckley, Marcus didn't see a whole lot of black people. He instinctively asked "where do all the black people hang out?" Without hesitation, Mario responded "you see that big oak tree?" I sharted and literally shit myself from laughing. But, not to let that comment go, when we got to Rio Grande Mario told Marcus he didn't bring enough cash to pay for dinner. He told Marcus "there's a few Spics and Spans in the back get to cleaning." I didn't shit myself literally but I did fall out of the chair. I've told my wife just about everyone of these stories and she has repeatedly told me to write a book about it. I honestly think it could be a gut busting movie.
