Question for the black guys on the CE. If I, a white guy, greeted you with the black guy head nod would you return it?

No, this is a stupid question, imo.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

Have used the head nod for over a decade. Have it returned 95% of the time regardless of race. It's not a black thing.

The head is raised up about 15 degrees, then returned to neutral position all while looking at the target in the eyes. Has to be done in under 1 second.

This. I use it constantly at work, too. I can't always say a greeting to customers when they come in because I'm either helping another one, or simply am unable to at the moment. Its a good way to acknowledge you see someone, and aren't ignoring them just because you can't verbally acknowledge them.

Its not a matter of race you imbecile, its a matter of respect familiarity and formality. You know the person? You're friends? Give an up nod. Strangers? Bossman? Being cordial to a douchebag in public? Down nod

Where did your life go wrong to attribute this to race?

Calm down, man. You're putting all these negative vibes into the universe. Relax

I always nod down, unless someone asks me a question, then it's a nod up with a "what's up?"

There's no "black guy" head nod. I've used it and seen it used by guys of any race. It's just a "guy" head nod.
---
There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

I should also note that a few tougher looking chicks have also head nodded with me. Can't remember who initiated them.
