Another true story.

I've only ever had one black neighbor. He used to wait a week until after I cut my lawn, to cut his. He would cut 6 feet into my lawn, and the other neighbors lawn, to make his lawn look bigger.

He also kept 5 pit bulls in a tiny cage in the woods BEHIND his fence, that never saw the light of day and would bark all day long without him shutting them up. Poor bastards.

This guy came by one day and wanted to "show me something" on his laptop. He got my network password. 4 months later I found out he cut off his internet a week after that, and was using mine ever since.

He also approached me one day, asking if I would be the "token white guy" and help him go to walmart, bestbuy, and other places to get computers out of the display like I was going to purchase them, so he could then steal them.

He also fake hurt himself on the job and tried to file a lawsuit against his employer.. wearing a fake neckbrace around for 3 months while he didn't work.

He was the worst neighbor I ever had, and the only black neighbor I ever had.

I went to a private school growing up. There was one black student. I liked him. 3 weeks into school I noticed my gym sneakers were missing. They re-surfaced a month later with his name written on the bottom of them in a huge permanent pen.

When I approached him about it, he said "oh shit man, I didn't know they were yours.." laughed and said my bad.

These are just some of the subtle differences between cultures that are indeed very real.
