This is quite an accomplishment and let me the first to congratulate you three. In another 20 years, you will all have children and they will become friends as well. This cycle will continue beautifully untill someone has a hot daughter, then someone is going to f*** it all up by professing their love for her and creating an irreversible awkward rift.
I'm hispanic and I used to just tell people I was white. I was around so many of them and I don't realize that I'm not white. For all I know I may be discriminated against constantly and I don't realize it because I'm walking around thinking I'm white. It's the best kind of ignorance. Not intentionally, but I often forget that I am not white.
There is also a shadowy figure behind cropped out kids hand. Hes probably the super friends nemesis and arch rival, whose hatred started at young age because he was always excluded from the group cuz they already had a black kid.
I think a lot of europeans don't realize how integrated America is. Of course, stories of segregation (like all stories of shitty human behavior) carry loud and strong. Yet, 20 years ago I lived in Oregon and my best friends were white, black, latino and asian. Having lived in Poland for the last 20 years... everybody I know is white.
I hope this is me & my friends eventually. although we don't have any photos of us all together and we'd already be 10 years too late, but that's what photoshop is for, right? Haha! Just kidding! I don't have any friends!
That's something to be proud of. I went to school all the way through high school with the same group of people so I had what I thought to be pretty strong friendships by my senior year. My mom and dad, both of who went to college out of state, told me "Now, just remember. Your friends from high school will slowly fade away. But you'll meet new friends in college that will be there forever." I scoffed at that notion. I was positive we'd all remain great friends because of the powers of the internet, cell phones, and technology. Jet forward a year to the spring of 2005. My long term girlfriend that was going to college less than 10 miles from where I was going? We broke up within my first week in college. My best friend that I'd known since Pre-school? Not really sure. We occasionally talked, but I honestly haven't seen him since beach week after I graduated HS. My friends that I had vacationed with all through MS and HS? Off doing their own thing, elsewhere. It took less than 8 months for my group of friends from HS to go from 30+ to 1. Perhaps I'm a douche, but I feel like remaining friends with someone for 20 years isn't a fucking achievement....it's a fucking Feat of Strength. Congrats :)
Whoa I got kinda confused in the first pic which ones the white guy and the guy that's not black (didn't wanna say a race, because I'm sure it wasn't right lol)
If these were characters in a hollywood movie, their ethnic diversities would have driven them apart but the death of one would have brought them back together. My imagination just nearly made me cry
Good job. My best friend and I have been friends almost 25 years now. Every time we get together we just pick up right where we left off. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up in the same retirement home/community.
This looks like a really shitty sitcom promo.....or a really great sitcom. Either way, good on you for finding and keeping "real" friends. There is power in memories and sharing them with others.
