BREAKING: the American "online right" has discovered Reasonable Blackman and are enjoying memes about him. The left will never recover from this.

"Oh, this McDonald's is out of sweet and sour sauce? No need to cause a scene, I'll just dip my McNuggets in honey mustard instead." — Reasonable Blackman

“Oh this gentleman has asked me to leave the premises. I will do so without causing a scene or violently stabbing him.” - Reasonable Blackman

“By heavens, this is a most excellent motion picture. I shall take especial care not to converse during its exhibition, lest I spoil the enjoyment of my fellow spectators.” - Reasonable Blackman

At a Popeye's a few years ago and they said they were out of one of the sides I had ordered. They looked scared, as in, "What's White boy gonna' do?" (This IS Florida...).

I calmly said, "OK, how about the baked beans?" They looked shocked, but filled my order.

Remember, it was a Popeye's.....

Fingers crossed it’s not some white chap.

It seems the real Reasonable Blackman was a real person who was married, had a job and a wife and kids.

How Reasonable.
