meetup.com?

[trick]

I don't think you know how seriously I take badminton
I wanna play in the Olympics (it's on my bucket list)
What meetups did you check out?

I checked out meetups for Chinese-Japanese people, writing, badminton and volleyball. The badminton meetup wasn't bad, there was just a lot of old people there. Also, it really doesn't matter if a meetup is for a specific ethnicity, there's always old white dudes around and they almost always make it awkward for everybody

That's probably the biggest reason I don't like meetup. The organizers don't ever reject people that clearly don't fit in

Add this to the white people ruining things thread. I get why they join these meetup groups that aren't meant for them, but they really don't understand how uncomfortable they make EVERYONE feel.

I'm in a few, both all female and coed professionals (mostly blacks, some are mixed). I've met some great people that I consider friends from there that I socialize with outside of the groups, as well as travel with. I joined as a New Year's resolution to stop being such in introvert/homebody and to be more social, find travel partners, as well as meet professional men.

I'm glad I joined.

 

[frush11]

Im part of Black Film Group, and also Soulful House Group, haven't been disappointed so far, and no Cacs.

I literally just joined today and found a bunch of black social groups (for women, techies, professionals, movies, etc.)


Turning point was at a holiday party/crawl last night. Read on for the fukkery...

Spoiler

As I've mentioned, I work at a small company, mostly white, two brown Asian dudes, including the man in charge, and a pseudo breh (he's black/white)
They're drinking (I don't drink) while we in this hipster beer garden downtown. I was talking with one of the guys, and a black woman (classy looking, older than me, natural hair, ofc ) walked in to meet with her white/Asian coworkers (presumably). Anyway, she walked by me, smiled and said hello so I smiled and said hey back. Then she spent the whole night looking back at me while my drunk/goofy ass coworkers talked about work.Later I ended up babysitting the psuedo breh (he's not a bad dude, just because his mom's white and his dad is...well) because he was drunk off his ass from jargaritas, slurring and stumbling while our CEO was encouraging him to drink more. This derp literally got lost in a pizza restaurant we went to after, couldn't find the exit . The CEO and co-founder outside watching him through the glass, cackling wit each other like Legit had to take his phone later and put him in an uber so he didn't get got taking the train back home. Picture this, I was listening to him talk about how hot the white girls are in the bar/office where we work while a perfectly fine black woman is giving me the behind his back. Same thing happened at the in-office holiday party the other week , an investor was in my face and I felt obligated to talk to him. This time was purely my fault, tho, I felt awkward about making those moves around the nosey ass white people I work with. Anyway, after that bar we were walking and psuedo breh, was like "brehsbian, whatdou like ?"since he was saying he likes blondes earlier. I told him, "I like black women ". Through his druken haze, this dude legit told me he was "against that" Not the homo stuff, but me only liking black women. Right then, we stopped at another bar because our boss was insistent/dude was too drunk to get into the one we'd tried prior/ I just wanted to make sure breh got home. Dude had the nerve give me a drunk lecture on going after the women I want. At that point I was liketime for you to catch that cab, bruv. After he was taken care of, I got on the train like wtf have I done with my Friday night? I just wanted to be home and write

I don't even like going out, but damn if I'm gonna be out, I need to start mingling with black people. I woke up this morning on a mission to do just that. I hope these things don't suck
