Same thing sorta happened to me. I was catching a bus from VA to DC after hiking the AT for a few hundred miles. I was the only white person on the bus, but a nigger who had a bus pass ( 300 bucks you ride for a few weeks) offered me those airline whiskey bottles he had stockpiled. He was going around filming the US...so what the fuck....got high with him on the way to DC.

 
I honestly didn't know that people in the city buy nips. They're used around here for drinking and driving so you don't have an open bottle in the car.

What is truly shocking to me is the subconscious racism in your account. "Must be homeless" "thinking he must be asking me to pay several times the worth in cash" "dressed street."

Anyone walking out of a liquor store, hollering at me and offering me alcohol dressed in bling would be immediately suspect as

A) Possibly Newly Homeless
B) Crazy
C) Trying to hustle me
D) Up to some shit

regardless of their color and if you don't have that natural reaction to that kind of situation, you're stupid and probably shouldn't be outside alone.

Identifying him as a black man isn't racist.

This lad sounds like he just wanted to share a shot of booze with his fellow man. Not a bad thing.
 
If I remember correctly living in Florida, this is somewhat common

This is pretty much normal in the city. Depending where you're at, people will just invite you to shit, buy you a drink or whatever. I think this guy was reaching out just to feel human because the one thing that brought him into existence is suddenly no more. I think that's a pretty badass happening and I'm sure he was glad to share it with you.

Once a homeless person at a bus stop asked me if I'd roll a joint for him and then we could share the joint and I said sure. I'm positive he knew how to roll his own joints, he was really lonely and was willing to give away some of his shitty dry weed just so somebody would treat him like a human being instead of a panhandling leech for five minutes. We talked for a bit while I rolled the joint, then he got distracted talking to somebody else so I quietly stepped onto a random bus and got away with his weed and kept it all for myself. The best part is I already had a pocket full of my own, better weed.

I get hassled by homeless people all the time. It's cold out and he's wearing bright red jeans and a white tank-top with 3 different chains. You also have to be super careful with accepting free stuff because a common scam to swindle people.

That's not racism that's just having a little bit of street smarts.

Fair enough.

Sounds like it was a legit case of a guy wanting to share a shot with someone because his mom died and he didn't want to drink alone.

Assuming that's exactly the case, then good on you for showing some compassion.

Abbos gon abb, amirite
 
Yeah, it seems like he was down in the dumps and wanted a little satisfaction to share. He lost his mom and is reaching out to strangers to fill that gap, temporarily.
 
Pros:
  • You had an actual, genuine social interaction. That's more than a lot of us will ever experience. Congrats on cultivating an audience of socially challenged basement dwellers.
  • Hey, the guy seemed nice enough! At least based on the details you provided.
  • You got free alcohol! For us with drinking problems, getting alcohol for free's a major achievement.
Cons:
  • Nigga you could've died don't trust random homeless people

Guy probably didn't have anyone else to share a drink with to her memory, which is kind of sad.

I agree although I probably would have done the same thing as null,
but this guy was probably just lonely and needed, to quote fight club, a single serving friend
the right thing would have been to talk to him but like that's hard n stuff
