I'm not a bigot...I have white friends

I will admit that myspace.com is actually a bit of a gem. I like it. I've relocated several HS pals and gotten back in contact with DC strangers. It's a good look.

But for a while, my friends list was lookin real narrow. A bunch of nigras and Chantelle, a favorite mulatto of mine.

That all changed today and I feel like this is a landmark day.

Three of my current favorite white people were added and an old high school buddy. I don't know who was first, but I think it was JD. Anyways, I'm gonna introduce them to you...

Rick Maese: Many of you know him through this blog. He's real white, but one of the white dudes I still refer to as things like, "My nigga Maese", cause he's my dude like that. My DC crew doesn't read the Baltimore Sun...and why would they...but if they did, they'd see his mug on the cover of the sports front, doin his young-columnist thing. He's a problem folks.

Jim Darlington: Yall might him as Prima D. He, along with MC Snuggles, produced that classic fake-hop video that was a cross between the Beastie Boys and...some weird white dudes. But Jim can say that he and Snuggs were Jamie and Stu before Jamie and Stu. You can find Jim somewhere in downtown Orlando on Fridays and Saturdays. I really think he's the Mayor of Bar Hoppin Orlando. and he can tango. For my money, he's the biggest problem.

Gretchen: Gretch and I were partners in crime at AF&PA back in DC. She's from Osh-Kosh, Wisc. She calls it Osh-Vegas. Technically, I was Gretchen's superior, but she was usually the brains of our operations. She's my gal. When I went home to DC a couple weeks ago I met her and Dana (my big sis and fellow Howard alum) and JB (one of my fav white dudes of all-time). She's all in love now, workin in an office with a window. Her myspace page is pathetic, though. She's probably too cool for it. But if Twist kopped a page, then that means its a certified site.

Casey: Old high school compadre. I'm hoping Casey can connect me with all the other white dudes I lost touch with from those days. City Honors' (No. 4 public high school in nation according to Newsweek) class of 1997 was a unified bunch. Not that previous or later classes were fractured like your normal public schools, but we were especially prone to intermingling races. Our lunch tables were integrated, so were our year book pages. It was cool thing. If you ask niggas that know, or anyone for that matter, Da Kid Twist was the bridge. Kevin Polowy, Matt Scaruto, Jon Chassin, Courtney Lee, Melissa Trincanatti, both Saras, Simone Rivera, Shana Weintraub, Laila Bondi-Marshner, my nigga Dan Colleran, Casey...they were people, my friends. Then they all skated to off to some liberal private or Ivy league schools, I stayed back at UB and we lost touch. Casey...I want that old thang back (but not in a faggy way, though).

This is just the begginning, cyberworld.
