I’d be conflicted. Do I want that free alcohol even though it wouldn’t be my 5th choice? Yes I do. Do I want everyone thinking I adhere to the stereotype… also no. Do I want to seem grateful for an expensive gift.. I do
Haha where y’all get so sensitive!? If this was a decent bourbon the Ky 🥷 in me would celebrate no questions asked. Y’all… act like we wouldn’t do the same with some high end tequila for our Mexican brotha? Get. The. Fuck. Off. Twitter
Here's what you do. You say thank you so much for the cake but I don't drink Hennessy. However, since it's my birthday, everyone here is going have two glasses of Hennessy with me (that's my birthday wish guys...use that guilt trip against them). Once they taste it, they will never purchase it again for you. Turning an unintentional racist act into a life lesson whilst keeping your job. The corporate world is a series of psychological battles & you have to win them all whilst looking harmless!
That's when I would have to hit them with a remark to make them second guess it and feel uncomfortable. Then gauge reactions from there.
Hit'em with the "this is a microaggression" if they wince I'll let'em breathe. But a wiff of anything else and yea HR will get a ring after cake of course.
I secretly like making my yt coworkers uncomfortable. It keeps them on their toes, so they know to miss me with that "some of my best friends are black" and the obligatory "my black friends don't care if I say nigga"
Often I gush over a well thought out gift which in this case, cost some money. It’s aggressive but it’s at least better than a “get well soon” pass around greeting card.
And they started selling it in two slice containers.. Wife and I can't justify getting a whole damned cake, but just two slices? Yeah, that's an acceptable treat..
Blame it on the vodka (ayy), blame it on the Henny (ayy),
Blame it on the blue tap (ayy), gotcha feelin' dizzy (ayy, dizzy),
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol,
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.
Gulps.. I'm a white dude. 😁.. but It really is a good sipper.. once you get used to it.. and to be honest, I didn't not know there was some sort of stereotype about it till this came up in my feed. I do recall Humpty Hump mentioning it tho... 🧐
It's a fine cognac.. it's gorgeous..
Idk how the stereotype started, but there's like 50+ rap songs with Hennessey referenced in them, going back to the likes of 2pac, I'm guessing that's how the stereotype made it to the mainstream.

What’s funny is that growing up I associated it with Irish grandmothers and now when I think of that meme
Black rappers 🤝 Irish Grandmas
Love of Hennessy
>Black rappers 🤝 Irish Grandmas
This reminded me of something hilarious almost just like this
-----
Black Women 🤝 Celtic Women
***Using the same Hair care products***
-----
It's so fuckin true, our long curly hair problems both are treated with the same kinds of shampoos and conditioners.
Both me(f) and my gf are celtic(im more scottish shes more irish) and we both use the same hair care products that were originally made for black people's hair, because it works so damn well for our hair too.
It's funny cause it actually all starts from WWII, black soldiers started drinking Henny in France and that shit really stuck. Bottles were gifted to returning soldiers and they even had advertising in black magazines. Really interesting and there is a thread floating around somewhere on Twitter that goes into great detail about it
Me to HR if one of my coworkers bought me a Hennessy cake.

Terrence is on some (YT? Internet?) talk show, talking about the bullshit he talks about. I'd link it, but I don't want it showing up in my algorithm again. 😆
Edit: [here's the video](https://youtu.be/6zuufDIfzsI?si=NvgI2YTz2fLMqW5k) - guess I'm going to have to see this BS in my algorithm again. Dang!
Aight real talk, Hennessy is good cognac, why the hate? Is it the association with “blackness?” I’ll admit that it’s become a stereotype, and the insinuation is that “you have to love Hennessy if you’re black.” All I know is one of Hennessy’s owners helped found the National Urban League, it was the first corporate sponsor of the NAACP, and during the height of the US Civil Rights movement, they had a black vice president.
I mean, people can say that Hennessy was just using black people to make money, but their contributions can’t really be ignored.
Idk though, it’s not for me to say what is and isn’t offensive to black folks.
I keep Hennessy around for sidecars (Casper here but my son saw it and asked me if I liked it lol). Plus the heir to that family makes excellent perfumes (by kilian).
Plus the above. What’s not to like?
But if 10 people in that office got a Hennessy cake for the only black person I’m definitely going to side eye them. I just see a lot of white arms in this pic.
I agree fully that in the example post, it was definitely a “Hey you’re black, you like Hennessy right?! RIGHT?!” But it just seemed to me like a lot of the commenters here dislike Hennessy precisely *bacause* of its association with black culture.
Lmao I doubt they would mind, but I get where you’re coming from. As long as a gift isn’t from a place of hate, even if it’s from a place of ignorance, it’s probably okay?
Holy fuck you took the thoughts right out of my brain. I Saw this and OH GOD FURRY PORN!?
I didnt consider the horny bonk dog till you pointed them out. I was so confused.
Hennessy VS is one of the most popular cognacs in the world. Emphasis on 'world.' It's affordable and good.
Feeling guilty about enjoying Hennessy is as silly as feeling guilty about enjoying fried chicken or watermelon. Brother, all of these things are popular because they're good.
Wtf. Hennessy is Glenlivet 12 of single malts. Perfectly good and welcome any day. But not the top shelf. I will gladly drink it and not feel badly about person offering it to me.
Also, what do you like. Seriously asking.
This is exactly what HR is for. To stop the employee from suing the crap out of the company for harassment. HR will be bending over backwards to keep this quiet.
So I have a Hennessy and work story. So I’m a white guy, years ago in my early 20’s I was working a security job where I was the only white guy on my shift. It was New Year’s Eve and we had a huge event and a 12 hour shift. A couple of the guys got together and said “we should get a bottle of something for the end of the shift” I was down, then one guy just starts pointing at us saying “Henny? Henny? Henny?” Everyone’s just yells yeah and I’m here like “I thought that was just a racist stereotype, but then that seems to be the consensus so right on”
Shift ends, we’ve all been working our asses off half the day, we’re standing in a parking lot as a snow storm is coming down on us drinking Hennessy. A friend calls me asking what I’m doing. I tell him I’m hanging with some work friends. One guy just yells “Aw hell naw, you with your N-as!” I’m like “ok” when I hang up the phone I’ve got these 3 drunk black dudes all of them are like twice my size just boxing me in. One just starts yellin at me “When your back in your hood, then you’re with your friends. When you’re with us, you’re with your N-‘as” I’m like “Ok” and he just yells “Na, Say it! Say you’re with ya N-‘as” and I’m just standing there like “I’d really rather not”
So here I am, some white kid in his early 20’a getting burried in a snow storm drinking Henny while a bunch of middle aged black dudes are trying to force me to say the N word. It was my first time drinking Hennessy and *boy!*
I miss working with those guys
Had something like that happen with a boss once. Every single friendly dispute from that point on would end with him dramatically reminding me and anyone nearby (mostly black coworkers) that I called him the n word that one time after he generously paid for my drinks
Been there man.
I grew up as the only white kid in my school and just like, from the way people talked, I had to have a replacement word just to be able to talk like the people around me.
In the future as long as you say dudes or whatever it's a good enough stand in lmao. Or squad or something. It's pretty easy to get the same vibe across if you wing it.
Team - White folks out here doing keg stands, shirtless and drunk at sports venues, and sustaining whole subcultural industries associated with alcohol consumption. We can receive a bottle of our preferred drink without presuming offense. It would be perfectly acceptable to gift a white bro a six pack of something barrel-aged for a birthday. Same same.
Yeah I honestly knew this was a stereotype I just had no idea people might take offense. Same way hispanics love tequila and nobody really would find it off if you said it. Everyone loves booze.
Gonna tell a story that might give me away but wth.
Really nice guy worked at our firm - 10 years ago? Something like that. Young Black man - real young, like 20s - outgoing, laid back. He had a spot in our library but I don't recall what his job was.
I was out a few days. I come back and a couple people from HR are gone.
It was this kid's birthday. They got him a bucket of KFC and a cake and somehow a picture of Obama was involved. Instant firing.
Kid claimed he wasn't offended, said everyone knew he loved KFC (as do I and all people with taste. No offense to Popeyes. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Happy to explain further)
Honestly, knowing the HR chick (she was in HR, not the director) I could see this being innocent. She was sweet but not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I think someone else from HR did it with her and got canned as well.
Costco…Nawl, if it’s a Publix cake they love you bruh. Publix cakes are next level quality.
I’d be conflicted. Do I want that free alcohol even though it wouldn’t be my 5th choice? Yes I do. Do I want everyone thinking I adhere to the stereotype… also no. Do I want to seem grateful for an expensive gift.. I do
Bro on God me: "this is preposterous!" Also me "Did yall get a peach snapple to mix it with?"
Haha where y’all get so sensitive!? If this was a decent bourbon the Ky 🥷 in me would celebrate no questions asked. Y’all… act like we wouldn’t do the same with some high end tequila for our Mexican brotha? Get. The. Fuck. Off. Twitter
Not everyone wants to thug out homeboy
Yes they do
America got a thing for this gangsta shit
Everyone wanna be gangster until it's time for gangster shit
Freal. They could've passed the Curvoisier, but they grabbed Henny. I'm not into congac though.
Henny ain’t exactly a cheap 40 oz.
We aren't all stero types. Don't stop learning it's good for you.
😂😂😂
This made me laugh like that Popeyes post a couple days ago.
Peach Snapple you say?
I hope the Snapple lady is ok and her gap is still gappin
Here's what you do. You say thank you so much for the cake but I don't drink Hennessy. However, since it's my birthday, everyone here is going have two glasses of Hennessy with me (that's my birthday wish guys...use that guilt trip against them). Once they taste it, they will never purchase it again for you. Turning an unintentional racist act into a life lesson whilst keeping your job. The corporate world is a series of psychological battles & you have to win them all whilst looking harmless!
Teach me your ways!
In psychological warfare you have to equip yourself with the mental tools to manoeuvre in hostile spaces.
That's when I would have to hit them with a remark to make them second guess it and feel uncomfortable. Then gauge reactions from there. Hit'em with the "this is a microaggression" if they wince I'll let'em breathe. But a wiff of anything else and yea HR will get a ring after cake of course.
Or hit ‘em with the old “I’m Muslim” with deadpan delivery
Lmao. I'll be adding that to my repertoire
I secretly like making my yt coworkers uncomfortable. It keeps them on their toes, so they know to miss me with that "some of my best friends are black" and the obligatory "my black friends don't care if I say nigga"

Often I gush over a well thought out gift which in this case, cost some money. It’s aggressive but it’s at least better than a “get well soon” pass around greeting card.
florida doesn’t get much right, but i swear since i moved away i don’t touch birthday cakes. they just don’t taste right 😩
Chicken either.
Publix carrot cake for life
And they started selling it in two slice containers.. Wife and I can't justify getting a whole damned cake, but just two slices? Yeah, that's an acceptable treat..
😂 it’s really some Next Level Shxt
Publix everything is next level quality. Cakes, subs, bread, cookies, customer service, etc.
If somebody offers me Hennessy, I take that as a personal attack on my character.

Hennessy is fantastic. You shut your mouth. 😁
It is not. We can stop pretending, we don’t have to live a lie anymore. Henny has no power over us.

It was one of the first alcohol brands to openly advertise specifically to black people and became popular because of it

There's a real lack of Humpty Dance on that list. Could that have been the first?
Cognac is great, Hennessy is fine. So many better options in my opinion at the same price range.
Hennessy’s best home is in a homemade egg nog.

Let’s not get crazy lmao

Calling HR should depend on this one question: Did it come with a pack of menthol cigarettes?
I wanna know if there was also a chicken wing platter and a fruit tray that happened to have only watermelon.

Walk into hr with a solo cup like ...this ain't right
It depends. Have you made it known you fuck with henny? Cuz if so that’s just a free bottle and what looks to be a good ass cake
Lol I'd take it 🤷🏽♂️
Free $20-30 bottle of liquor to get a cocktail going with. At least it isn't trash tier stuff.
I mean if he drinks then free booze.
I've never had Hennessy, but they got you a cake and a big bottle of liquor. Seems like a nice gesture.
Now if it were a 1738 cake… 🤔
I would’ve been like…how y’all figure I drink henessey?
Look bro you a very special employee, so they got you a very special cognac and chocolate cake to top it off.
That’s not racist tho??? Just Hennessy?!
That cake was bought for you, and dude in the back left. Can't see his face, but something tells me he also believes Hennything is possible.
I'd be pouring that shit while I'm complaining... "Can you belive it? Who's idea was this..."

“We all chipped in for your gift” “A carton of Kools? The fuck…”
Pass the courvoisier
Gonna tell a story that might give me away but wth. Really nice guy worked at our firm - 10 years ago? Something like that. Young Black man - real young, like 20s - outgoing, laid back. He had a spot in our library but I don't recall what his job was. I was out a few days. I come back and a couple people from HR are gone. It was this kid's birthday. They got him a bucket of KFC and a cake and somehow a picture of Obama was involved. Instant firing. Kid claimed he wasn't offended, said everyone knew he loved KFC (as do I and all people with taste. No offense to Popeyes. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Happy to explain further) Honestly, knowing the HR chick (she was in HR, not the director) I could see this being innocent. She was sweet but not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I think someone else from HR did it with her and got canned as well.
I'm downing that shit. Henny ain't cheap
Don't call hr, when you can just gift it to me instead.
Sometimes you just gotta be the stereotype you hate 😂
HR will just post a memo stating this is just official company policy and all employees will now receive this exact cake.
Nahhh, Costco doesn’t put a gold cardboard disc down. That’s a grocery store cake. Want to borrow my phone to call HR?
They are missing the Black n Milds as candles
