    It's my friend David's 25th birthday coming up. I don't know what to get him. He is black also. I don't want to seem culturally insensitive and get him something that might be offensive. He normally doesn't have a birthday celebration, but this is one of the first times he has had one so I have to buy a gift.

    He likes:

    Undergroud rap
    Skateboarding
    NFL football
    History Channel
    Aviator sunglasses
    Pong
    Facebook
    Usher cologne
    Pepperoni Pizza
    Joy Division
    The country of Denmark


    Do you have any suggestions? I can't think of much of anything at this point. His birthday is in two weeks.

    Thanks.

    since he's black, he might like a fried chicken dinner followed by watermelon for dessert.

    A Barack Obama commemorative plate would be a nice touch.

    So you only have 1 black friend? I suggest going to Acres Homes and asking someone for this advice.

    "Excuse, me. If I were to give you a gift....what would YOU want?

    Try it.

    This is a cleverly disguised "I have more eclectic tastes in friends than you do" thread.

    Are you sure he's black? Have you seen his original BC?

    Get him something YOU, as a white person would like, such as a vintage t-shirt, a whole foods gift certicate, or tickets to a play, and hope he lets you borrow them.
