    Ask a black guy

    What is your deepest fear?

    Guy #1 Probably Obama losing to Romney next week. I just hope they actually count all of the ballots correctly. Because you know everything is computerized so everybody is not capable of casting their vote perfectly. Especially older people and senior citizens. Computers are part of the new generation.

    Guy #2 Complacency. I never want to feel content or satisfied with the work I do. I always have to do better than I did the last time. When I start getting complacent I fall behind on everything and teachers notice. It always seems to be towards the end of the semester.

    Guy #3 I fear dying. Like seriously the whole dying thing never clicked with me. Like what’s next? I enjoy this life so I’m like why should I have to spend it wondering where the next stop is or if one really exists. Well, I guess my fear isn’t dying, it’s the fear of not knowing.

    What are your plans for Halloween?

    Guy #1 Well I’m not doing anything on Halloween, but I took my lady to the woods of terror like two weeks ago. It went alright, I just hate the fact that my new white shoes ended up camoflagued after I got done. But other than that I mean we had fun, she was complaining because it was freezing outside but that’s expected.

    Guy #2 I don’t really celebrate Halloween formally. My church family doesn’t support the day of the devil so we have a service set up for kids to come eat candy and play games with the ministry. I used to celebrate as a kid. I remember dressing up as Michael Myers and scaring the crap out of my younger sister when she got out the shower.

    Guy #3 I think I’m going to hit up a video store to rent some horror movies to watch with my girl. I’m too old to trick or treat so I can’t do that. Plus my dental insurance suspect as it is. I’ll probably still hit up Wal-Mart or somewhere and pick up a bag of that mixed candy. Dang! You got me wanting some candy corn now.

    What do you expect to happen on election night?

    Guy #1 I expect a very close race. I see President Obama winning by a slim margin. I mean this Romney character has put on a good show. He’s got so many people believing his foolishness. I mean why in the world would someone vote for this guy. Let’s just hope that Florida keeps it’s integrity this year.

    Guy #2 I want Obama to win, but I feel like having a black President in back to back terms is unlikely. I mean I don’t like his positions but you have to admit Mitt Romney looks like the typical president. But if Romney does win, everybody in the hood is going to have a sour taste in they mouth.

    Guy #3 Obama is going to win. Simple as that. It’s a simple decision vote for good or vote for bad. I mean regular people should be voting for the president. “Big Mitt” trying to take them stamps and Medicaid. Everybody doesn’t see that. But the bottom line is that black people no matter where they are have to go out and vote.
