“Thats That Hoe Shit”: A short story about a nigga moment

Nigga Moment Nigga Synthesis Boondocks

I was telling this story to one of my homeboys at IHOP a few weeks ago. My female and I decided to break from our normal afternoon dinner routine and head into the West End (the Black part of my city) to get some hood Bar-B-Que. Now, I love my Black people, but I go out of my way...
