Why would some guy randomly invite you to his house? You have to give more context than that.

You must not be from NYC if you think intoxicated white people inviting complete strangers over to their apartment is unusual.
Youd be shocked how fascinated, even in New York, some white people are with being around the company of black people.
When I use to party every weekend downtown you had to avoid these "dude come over to my place" types, whether you was a man or a woman.
Ive had white lesbian roommates invite me to their yuppie Brooklyn pads because I knew how to dance and seem "so cool." And no this wasnt the setup to some cheesy porno. They literally just wanted to drink beer, listen to music and play board games.

I got a co-worker who came from Vice (I work in TV). Shorty is fine as fukk. Black. Dark skin. Perfect skin. Pretty face. She had all the same gripes you hear from viewers by the time she left, apparently. Poor management and budget cuts the past few years changed the channel, as well as the internal operation, for the worse. They lost the HBO deal and they even lost Desus and Mero--the closest thing to a household personality the channel had--to Showtime because of poor management (and money).

The downfall
If Vice still had a partnership with HBO they couldve had the money to pay those brothers and make them big (and Vice) big.
HBO--in fact the entire cable TV business during the latter half of this decade--was eager for young black talent, especially those with a social media appeal. But Vice focused their HBO deal on producing (expensive) documentaries, rather than their urban comedies. So HBO scooped up two broke sell-outs, the other Daily Show aulmni (I think his name is Wyatt something), Amanda Seales, Issa Rae, and whoever the fukk is behind "Black Girl Sketch Show." Showtime scooped up Desus and Mero. And Vice got left in the dust to learn the unspoken rule of the media business that every network had to learn the hard way: never bet against black talent. We are always on the forefront of comedy and pop-culture appeal, period.
