I like this. They should have a row of these booths...

Meet a Black person
Meet a Muslim person
Meet a homosexual person
Meet a Mexican person
etc., etc.

Before you know it, people might start understanding one another.

I had a friend who's black, who lived in Miami. He came to visit once. (I live in the countryside.) He made me laugh so hard because after his visit he said, that he'd be glad to go back to Miami, because he was so scared to go outside at night, because it gets really dark here at night and he could here strange things lurking in the bushes... He couldn't wait to get back to the safety of Miami where they had Seven 11's that lit everything up.... and only had drive-by's to deal about... Just goes to show how different we all are.

It's supposed to read: To deal WITH of course. Getting too tired to be posting stuff apparently...

Improv Everywhere staged this funny "mission" in Aspen:

Just down the stairs from where the skiers finished their trek, we found an abandoned beverage kiosk. Agent Dunn set up shop and offered Aspen residents a much-needed service.

Aspen is 0.44% Black, so we figured we'd give everyone a chance to meet and greet with a real live black person. As skiers exited the mountain, Agent Dunn shouted, "What's up everyone, I'm a black person."

Many folks just laughed and kept walking, but others wanted to take photos of this rare opportunity.

Many Aspen residents found time t...

Could do with this booth in deepest darkest Cornwall, United Kingdom.

But you'd better be black or I don't think it's gonna work...

Wow, these comments, especially Darcy's, indicate y'all really need to get out more often, or that maybe you're from Iceland. Apparently interacting with "others" is a novel concept to you.

The source has a lot of other "pranks." Reading the Agents' experiences were fun to read and the videos too. They usually get quite a lot of volunteers on these little excursions. The mobile phone symphony was quite funny I thought...

I'm guessing Godfrey isn't black. I think he's green. Green with envy because he never seems to able to loosen up and just have some fun once in a while. What a sad sorry life you must lead...

The black fellow in this booth looks so friendly! I'd sure like to meet him.

I like these "pranks", they sound pretty helpful and awareness-raising in a humorous way. What a great quote from their site:
We're out to prove that a prank doesn't have to involve humiliation or embarrassment; it can simply be
about making someone laugh, smile, or stop to notice the world around them.
I'd love more humor like this!

Yes, he does look friendly. And it doesn't look like a panhandling ploy, or anything like that. He seems to have some positive purpose in mind.

Good for him!

Well, you see, Godfrey, based on your response, you're the kind of person to whom I was referring. It takes all kinds to make this world, but you're stuck in your own little sphere, by the sounds of it. It's really a shame. Perhaps you should go out and meet others who are different from yourself.

These responses to my comment are hilarious and surreal. I especially like the posturing pity.

Try something new: SMILE!

You don't even understand the nature of my comments. Why would I want to downgrade from laughter to merely smiling?

Priceless.

If I wear my sign that says "Meet a queer pagan woman of questionable ethnic origins" will ya'll wanna meet me???

Personally I want to meet folks in an organic and natural manner and not in a manner contrived to establish my bona fides as being officially hip.

I wasn't aware homosexuality is an ethnic group.Really, should I try to 'understand' other immoral conducts? Hey, how bout the sin of MURDER - - - the sign reads "meet a murderer". ha - sure... we need to 'understand' child molesters too.. lol.. just couldn't help myself when I see homo's being catigorized as an ethnic group... like their demanding somekind of 'respect' rightfully deliberated among all races (not immor...
