This is the overwhelming majorities view on talking to other people from other backgrounds and cultures. The media, and social media algorithm is just making you think its an issue you need to worry about. Most people just going about their lives being pleasant to eachother


ApprehensiveMovie191

Thank you for being awake and sensible. Not everyone sees it as many live their lives through the internet - without experiencing reality, firsthand. A divided population is distracted and more easily controlled.


kwtransporter66

>A divided population is distracted and more easily controlled. United we stand, divided we fall. Yep. Been saying this for a while now. Then I get responses like "Oh don't give me this shit about both sides" when I state that it's we the citizens against the establishment and that establishment consists of members from both sides. Some ppl are just too damned thick headed. A divided citizen is easier to conquer and control. Ppl need to understand this.


ApprehensiveMovie191

It’s quite sad, really. Some will fight for their own enslavement.


Heistman

Exactly, everytime you go online you are exposed to a very active information war. Discernment and critical thinking skills are extremely important.


TechSudz

Came here to say the same thing. There is nothing unusual about two people who look very different choosing to spend time together, and if you think there is, you live in an online-only world.


Traditional_Pay54

Until you're at the dmv. Fuck everyone at that point.


J3sush8sm3

Thats not racism, its survival


dosumthinboutthebots

Yup. The sub facepalm is either just a karmafarming op or place to get Americans to fight one another. So many subs are like this now. It's just all pushing division.


HiTekLoLyfe

I don’t know if that’s true, I think if groups truly are segregated all the time they start to harbor bigoted and shitty opinions on other groups. The one thing I’ve noticed though is that when they actually come into contact with those groups they seem to drop their shitty views and realize that there’s a lot more that we have in common. I think the most important thing is having those experiences.


kwtransporter66

>I think if groups truly are segregated all the time they start to harbor bigoted and shitty opinions on other groups. This is the goal of the political parties. Divide us into groups, segregate us, then have the opinionated networks spin the narrative to to fuel the negativity of each group to the other group. It's absolutely sickening to watch and even worse when you see how ppl are believing it.

The_Hot_Stepper

So you can cash out and leave to get to your flight


Sweaty-Bumblebee4055

I've never been on a commercial airplane let alone an international airport 😅 TIL: lol


The_Hot_Stepper

No worries. I have a fear of heights but have to travel for work so I learn random facts about the airport to calm my nerves


oxslashxo

I have a fear of heights. But for me at least...it goes away after a certain height. Some friends even convinced me to go skydiving. I was absolutely terrified when we took off in a plane with the doors open and the wind was rushing in, but once we hit the clouds it went away. Then on the way down it was the opposite, no fear the entire time down with the parachute and then when we get towards the ground...bam fear of heights kicks back in.


murderedbyaname

They both have a drink.


Amazing_Connection

Theyre not drinking budweiser thats for sure

MrDannyProvolone

What part of this photo is supposed to be interesting as fuck?


[deleted]

lol I guess some people are very observant. If you look closely, the lid to the ketchup bottle is on the bottom, but it’s the opposite for the mustard.


BrokenMan4225

Excellent explanation, I am so very amazed


NavAEC

But its the juxtaposition of the ketchup and mustard worlds being upside down but still coexisting in the same table that gets me.


carpobro

i feel so stupid, i was convinced it was the table number, as richarius became bishop of luik in 922


ZwieTheWolf

Apparently OP thinks the US is still an apartheid state or even Nazi Germany and this is the first time he goes off the internet and saw a sight he's never seen on social media before.


Tacotuesdayftw

A quick scroll through the account of the original OP in /r/pics shows he's a conservative country farmer who loves trucks and guns and hates the vaccine... I don't know how you arrived at "crazy lefty," when this reeks of "conservative facebook mom who's favorite movie is The Blind Side."


ElBurritoExtreme

OP may not have ever seen a cowboy in person. Perhaps they live in a metropolitan area. Hell, I’m in the Texas panhandle and cowboys aren’t all that common. They’re seen, but I don’t even see them daily. 🤷‍♂️


happy-hubby

Pan handle like Amarillo ?


llorTMasterFlex

Certain posts on Reddit get a massive karma boost.


moonhexx

Nobody is sitting at table 922.


midgitsuu

Because Reddit thinks "country folk" all hate black people, so I guess seeing them hanging out together is shockingly rare. This is just what happens to Reddit on election years. It turns into this weird inverse of boomer humor for uber progressives. Notice youll start to see posts about black people and the comments section will be filled with people commenting on how beautiful/handsome they are. It's kind of creepy.


Status_History_874

>Because Reddit thinks "country folk" all hate black people That's a real one-sided take lmao


midgitsuu

Yeah, because you only tend to get the other side on Reddit.


Status_History_874

What?


Invader_Skooge22

OP thinks a younger black man and an older white cowboy man could never shake hands I guess


tatanka01

They just sealed a deal for a $72M ranch in Wyoming. (I made that up, but it makes as much sense as anything.)


boca_de_leite

Imagine being so surrounded by racism that you see a white cowboy and a black person holding hands that you think hmm that's different


midgitsuu

If only America was actually as racist as these people think it is. People need to get off the social media echo chambers.


boca_de_leite

Well, "racism" is not a simple measurement. Different places have it worse, but economical inequality is still pretty widespread. So it depends on what you are talking about.


PricklySquare

A guy is dressed up like a cowboy and you're acting like it's normal


BDady

Who’s gonna tell him about southern US?


grizwld

Southern US here, Nashville specifically. There is not, nor have there ever been any cattle driven through here. The only people who wear cowboy hats around here are tourist and country music singers from the 90’s


BDady

Southern US here, Austin specifically. Outfits like this are common enough (even in Austin) that I didn’t even think anything of the guys outfit until someone pointed it out


Whatisforkknife

Man i hope when I'm talking to someone of a different race than me no one takes a pic and posts it all over the internet. This is so weird..


RedditsNowTwitter

Yeah right? Imagine just having lunch with a friend and having some weirdo taking a pic from the corner.


CatBoyTrip

makes me wonder if there are any random pictures of me and my wife up online. she dresses like dude on the left, except Steelers jersey instead, and i dress like dude on the right.

Nearly 50,000 upvotes on /r/pics lol


the_vikm

Yeah okay. It's a pic. But here?!


Quick-Economist-4247

Two men shaking hands, honestly I don’t get it, what am I missing?


Nickthedick3

Talk about judgmental. And I’m talking about the Op and people making comments. If it was two black people, two white people or two Asian people the title and whole tone of the post would be different. But no, it’s a tough looking black guy and a cowboy looking white guy with the presumption that one of them is gonna be racist but they’re getting along so it’s “lovely” and other bs. Gtfo race baiting, judgmental twat.


SirenMix

People doing that are the most racist and yet they will pretend to hate racism. All they see is race and people's colors. They want the division so they can talk about it.


PinguFella

This You're never gonna end racism by making different rules for people on the basis of race


Just_Jonnie

I don't get it?


Tiziano75775

r/lostredditors


basifi

And this is why racism exists, cuz y’all making a huge deal out of moments that should be normal already. Taking a picture of them is inherently racist just let them be it’s just like any human interaction wtf. Also it must be pretty awkward when other ppl r taking pictures of u simply having a handshake with another man cuz of his skin color.


wanderinglarry

"OH my God, I just LOVE interracial couples" Like, why can't they just be a couple?


nanneryeeter

I'm a white guy, dated a black girl for quite awhile. We would jokingly say that the occasional judgemental looks were way better than the cringe worthy people who told us how "awesome we were". We legit preferred conservative racists over leftist racists.


wanderinglarry

I can see that 100%. Those are also the people that feel the need to stand up for minorities because someone says something that reminds them of a feeling they had to logic their way out of. The amount of times I've been told by a stranger "you can't say that joke because it's racist". Even though all my friends are laughing, and I'm the only white person at the table...


ThisPut6572

Maybe that guy just isn't racist and we are assuming he is cuz of his looks?


ApeTypingComments

Welcome to Reddit.


[deleted]

There’s something inherently racist about secretly taking a picture of two men talking because they’re a different race.


xamo76

only one race


[deleted]

Bingo. Human


Acid_Chauffeur

People act like a white man like this just absolutely hates a black man like that. When in reality we all just coexist and a majority of people just don’t care. If you’re nice and respectful, everything will work out.


xecho19x

🤘 I think the Internet/news makes people believe there are many more racists,homophobes, etc than there really are. "A majority of people just don't care" So fucking true hahaha


Acid_Chauffeur

Exactly. And that’s the thing, by “not caring” that makes you a racist, cause you NEED to care. But it’s just not true. We’re all just chillin


hendrix320

“He proposed” “Omg let me see the ring”


AttemptImpossible111

I wish people would stop gushing over neutral or positive black and white relations. For all we know the white guy has spent his life arguing against the racists in his area. There is nothing notable about this picture


xecho19x

Or it could be vice versa, or maybe they are cousins, or maybe it's his son in law, or brother in law. Who knows? But what do we know? The one taking the picture surely made a bunch of assumptions.


LemonCollee

Tell me you're racist, without telling me you're racist. "Oh look a gangsta and a cowboy, nature is healing" /s idiot post

I suppose it looks “Lovely” to someone making broad assumptions about one or more of these two people. For all you know, this is a couple sitting together for a drink that didn’t want their privacy interrupted by some dumbass taking a picture of them with their phone.

Wtf is going on here?

The Ketchup is strong with this picture.

Is he shaking dude's hand or proposing?


Alternative-Paint-46

So many assumptions from people posting for likes.


PumpkinEmperor

Moments like these happen far more often than many people realize.


DragNutts

The world just needs to stop saying the word. I have never experienced what they say is happening all over. The agenda is falling apart (thankfully.)


Hiwesrobots

The whole premise your judging this picture on is perpetuated by your judgment of what should and should not be, you don’t see it but YOU are the problem. These are just two normal people shaking hands. Idiot.


Bumble072

Yes because old men are racists right ? Stereotype much.


FireFalcon123

No no not old men, old white men just kidding of course /s I might be that one day in 70 years time haha


Wardinator1991

As a person who's been in food retail for three years I confidently say that positive social interactions between people of different cultures, races, and lifestyles get along and socialize all the time, l've been able to witness it first hand and it always puts a smile on my face.

Fluid-Selection-5537

They got more in common than yall might think- They both Might like guns- They will choose violence if you invade their area- Their communities are homophobic and push old school masculinity - (don’t down vote me for saying this is true… I live in both these worlds and it’s absolutely true… and I know neither may be homophobic but their communities sure are) They love beer- Want you to leave them alone to live how they want as long as they are not hurting anyone - If someone is kind to them they will be kind right back but they start off on guard - but once you good with them you welcome forever !

csullivan85

The media says people are more racist than they actually are.


PS_IO_Frame_Gap

the fuck is the point of this? this isn't a rare sight or anything. average redditors are racist as fuck if they think this is newsworthy. god forbid a white dude wearing a cowboy hat shakes a black dude's hand, WOW must be the end of the world or something, FRONT PAGE HERE WE COME, ALERT THE PRESS! Whoever fucking took a picture of this without them knowing about it is a creep.


shutupandlearntoeat

I equally think the person who finds a pic like this to be "interesting" is probably a part of the problem. If you have never seen cultures and backgrounds mixing it up socially, you need to get out more. Im not saying everyone is kumbaya'n together hand in hand but plenty of people are mixing and mingling daily. What is this, the 1940s or something?


MahlonMurder

This is normal. Almost every compliment I have ever gotten on my cowboy hat has been from a black dude. The few that weren't were one black girl and an old white lady who was absolutely delighted by it. People are just people most of the time.


Kevherd

The fact that this picture is considered ‘interesting as fuck’ is sad as fuck. Why? Because this is simply what/ how 90% of us would act. The very loud 10% (or less) has hijacked our reality

They both had checked in cats, when they met, they learned that they both had named their cats "Fuzzy Pickle Bacon Face," and now they are having a beer.


PWNCAKESanROFLZ

I actually believe this is most of the world. We are all different. Everyone gets so caught up in social media and politics, no one ever goes outside to actually socialize with people anymore. There is no racism. It's all bullshit fed from the media to keep us down and against each other.


AnakhimRising

Racism isn't non-existent, I've seen it myself unfortunately, but it doesn't seem to be as common as the media says. And it certainly doesn't have much to do with political leanings.


PWNCAKESanROFLZ

Yeah I want to step my comment back. I don't mean to say it DOESN'T exist, I exaggerated that a bit. Your comment is more in line with what I meant.

Dm_me_randomfacts

I once had a layover in San Salvador for 5 hours and I sat at a cafe type area to charge my phone and wait. In that time, I saw a group of two men drinking beers and absorb 5 different people into their group to chat and laugh and share stories. They talked about where they were going and where they were from, it was awesome. I wish I was more extroverted to have joined them
