[Juggalo Fred]

Do the electric slide with them

 

[MikeyC]

Speak about topical things, like:

Obamacare
Trayvon Martin
#BlackLivesMatter
KimYe

And you should be good.

[Soundwave]

This sounds like a premise for a Kevin Hart movie

 

[Fart Knocker]

discuss thecoli with them

 

[mannyrs13]

How old are they? I'm sure you can find something that you can relate to them with. You don't need to talk "white" topics with them just to show off. Ask how long they been with the company, get advice on your career, build useful networking candidates. Worse thing is you don't get promoted but maybe you get some useful info out of it.

Eh, mid 30's mostly. Mostly married with kids etc. The issue I'm seeing is they're a decade older than me, and I have no wife/kids so I'll be pretty much shut out of the family type conversations

 

[Colilluminati]

There is a thread in jbo called "Come in here and out cac me "


Pretty helpful

That's not much of a difference. I was thinking middle age. Trust me, they into the same stuff you are. Start with something basic like sports and see where the conversation goes. If their kids get brought up, just ask about them and how old they are. Don't need to get too personal with the family life anyways. Maybe they're into rap and video games also. You never know. Just remain calm and be respectful to everyone. Don't embarrass yourself.

Talk about dogs!!!!

1. Use proper grammar
2. Enunciate (none of that leanhead trap rapper/ drill mumbling )



Nah for real keep it basic with general stuff most people can relate to. Family life growing up, college experiences (pg rated version), hobbies, latest movies, Olympics in Rio etc.

Sports is the easiest convo. If you know about cameras you can talk about different lenses and photography methods. Nearly every upper level person I ever had to eat with was heavy into photography...Legit photography, not cell phone ish. Cars and possible things to invest in are always things higher ups love talking about as well. Also, do the head nod down instead of up as you pass by older people.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Watch the white part of Undercover brother

Drink smoothies from Smoothie King

Drink coffee from Starbucks

Hang out at Starbucks

Rent a Prius for a weekend

Watch a lot of UFC matches

Brush up on your golf knowledge

Buy khaki slacks, polos, and loafers

Buy fitted jeans and button ups

Get an Afro-centric haircut and let them touch it

Set your Pandora for 3 Doors Down, Jonas brothers, country music, and 80's Rock

Pop a bunch of Theanine pills so that way you will be a lot more friendlier and not the angry black guy at work

Brush up on your politics and depending on the age range and location, choose a side to discuss... Because they will want to discuss it

Watch Faux news everyday

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Oh yeah, if you're in the south then know your moonshine/liquor and your guns

Best to know your liquor anyways.... Stellas, OPI's, domestics, Tito's, Moscow Mules, wines w/ steaks, etc
