I find it humorous so many people are taking this post seriously when it most likely is troll bait or comedy gold created by someone who isn't racist at all.

On a side note, most people are indeed subconsciously racist as culture, media, and society has created these biases within us. First step is to recognize this, than take steps to combat these cognitive biases.

Here is an amazing series of tests that will reveal your inner prejudices-

It's possible that whoever bought the bitcoins is reading this thread right now. Most people who are interested enough in Bitcoin to buy $1,000 worth of it probably lurk or post here. I once bought a bunch of USB miners and wanted to ask a question about them here on the forums but waited because I didn't want my forum account to be linked to my real-world identity.

It really depends. I think a lot of people will look up news about bitcoin for a long time before then decide to join this forum. I think the forum is really for more hard core, longer term users (people who have been using bitcoin fora long time).

I think it is wrong for the OP to discriminate against people of a certain race or because of skin color.

You're surprised that black people use money and can conduct business without committing a crime. Yeah, ok.

One might almost think they're humans ....

You would think right ? ^^

Wow, where do you guys live that you never see black people? You make it sound like you met bigfoot. lol

Oh my lord I was laughing so hard when I first read this thread. From what I can imagine it's like the OP was trying his best to not yell "there's one" when the black guy walked in the restaurant lol.

HAHAHA ^^ I was thinking the very same thing. Pretty good shit! haha

Members! Let's be a bit considerate towards many noble black people who would visit this thread. Truth is that the color of a person's skin does not make her/him superior or inferior.. This is a well known fact!

This is very true, but unfortunately most people do not think this way. Many people in society like to use stereotypes. There are also some places in the US (and the world) that are not as diverse as others.

I actually liked this post. It was something which everyone would think at the time of doing a deal in your situation but, you had the confidence to actually share your experience. Something, which a lot of people don't like to do in the community for some reason.

Seems like local trading can be a sort of thrill at the same time being utterly nerve racking.

This makes me want to get into local selling. It sounds fun. It's almost like being some kind of international super criminal but without doing anything illegal. Cheesy

nice trolling, hats off to you OP Grin

but it does raise an interesting question...how DO you do a local
trade with a stranger? do you take the cash first and then hit the button?
or the other way around?

do you have a cashier at dunkin donuts escrow the cash?

Cash first, then yes just hit the send button.

Is "Bitcoin Gangsta" you or the other guy? Cheesy

Just to avoid having to blur his phone number in the photo, I added him as a contact in my address book. Tongue
