This question comes from John in Northern Virginia. He writes,
QUESTION: Hey there, I need your advice. I write a blog that’s similar to yours and I have a lot of haters. People send me a lot of mean-spirited email and it’s really hurtful. Does this ever happen to you? I don’t know how anyone can deal with it, and I’m thinking about quitting.

This question comes from Dave in Washington, DC. He writes,
QUESTION: I figured there is no better person on the planet to ask this question to than you. There is a woman that I currently work with that is African-American, and one day my Boss (who is white), started talking about African-Americans on the whole but called them “blacks.” The woman flipped out on him saying she is “African-American not black.” Is she right? I think I need to know, because as a white guy, I don’t want to get my ass kicked in the future.

This question comes from Shawn in Dallas, TX. He writes,
QUESTION: I’m a Texan, and due to an unfortunate work-related business trip next week, I’ll be stuck in your cesspool of a city for Halloween weekend (editor’s note: he’s referring to Los Angeles). I’m not at all happy about it, but I am looking forward to going to a Halloween party on the 29th. I want to wear a costume so offensive and over-the-top that it will totally piss everyone off at the party. Any ideas? I would dress up as a loud-mouthed black guy who gives shitty advice, but it looks like you have that one covered already. Oh yeah, and don’t mess with Texas!

This question comes from Greg in New York. He writes,
QUESTION: Yo! Welcome back, Dawg! I have a question for you. So I work in Marketing for a very large corporation, and I’ve been working on a project with this dude for a couple of months now. He’s really smart, never late on his assignments, and we work well together – but yesterday I found out that he’s gay. He mentioned to me that he and his partner are excited about the new gay marriage bill passing here and they’re planning to get married in the fall. Additionally, he mentioned how they want to adopt children from Africa. I’m totally disgusted by this and refuse to work with him again. Ya feel me, Dawg? How should I tell my boss that I’m done working with a fucking queer? Holla!

This question comes from Rich in Washington D.C. He writes,
QUESTION: I’m a white guy, and there is this one black dude that I work with who thinks that “whitey” is out to get him all of the time. He also has a lot of “Black Power” stuff in his cubicle and is a pretty damn scary dude. Are all black folks secretly untrusting of white folks, or is this guy just an isolated nut-job?
