Racial Donation

A Racial Donation happens when a black male politely asks a random white male for money , then the white male gives the black male 3-5 dollars, simply for the fact that the white male is scared to death of the strange black male because he is black and the white male does not want to be stabbed, shot, raped or be infected by the black male, but the white male acts as if he isnt scared and is just being polite back.
Black male: Excuse me sir, my family and I are tryin to get to California, but we don't have any money and we need to buy some gas to get home, i'd really appreciate it if you could help a brotha out.

White Male: Uhhh Ya, no problem buddy.

(white male gives black male 3 dollars)

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
