i'm not the one using a black man's likeness..how many bags of dog food do you buy for the pretend homeless?..how much time do you take away from your job to run in to walmart (or find one for those standing in traffic) for this practice? A bag of Blue and big bone comes to $26, biggest donation by far they'll receive all day and that's what they get for using their dog as a prop. you're mad because you've been busted- get a job.
also, do you think our black members appreciate your use of their likeness in this manner?
I once gave a couple of bananas, shared my fries(since amazingly that's the only vegan thing on the menu, but who knows if they're cooked with the meat too, shrug oh well), and a drink with this black guy at Jack in the Box. He was looking sad and sitting outside wearing a business suit. So I invited him inside with me so he'd stay warm (it was real cold, probably 45F) and got an extra glass to share my Bai (hilariously it was watermelon and he didn't seem to mind, and actually liked it too) bottled drink. He told me he just got off the bus from working late at the office and didn't have any money, while waiting for his old lady to pick him up. He thanked me, and barely talked other than that except asking if his engagement ring looked nice.
I've done similar with white, asian, hispanic, arab, and who knows whatever people. Whether they were homeless or like that guy who actually had a job. My only requirement was if they looked sad. I once had to put up with one telling me over and over how god bless, and Jesus opened my heart, that. But I still just smiled and didn't tell them, "hey, STFU you're getting this from a Buddhist and your god/Jesus didn't do jack for you!"
Because would that be a nice thing to do, and isn't everyone sad from time to time, and want to just become happy?
