		<description>Check out this site: www.rent-a-negro.com. I think we should give serious thought about copying their business model. Forget T-shirts. 

What Satisfied Customers Say About rent-a-negroŠ:

"I took her to the country club for lunch...all heads turned!" 
- T.M., Executive Director

"I introduced her to my mother-- family conversations haven't been boring since!"
-M.J., Teacher

"My friends still ask, 'how is that black friend of yours?'" 
- A.P., Physician


And for only $100 you can get: Certificate of Association: A 8x10" certificate stating your affiliation with a black person.

These days those who claim black friends and colleagues are on the cutting edge of social and political trends. As our country strives to incorporate the faces of African Americans, you have to keep up. rent-a-negro offers you the chance to capitalize on your connection with a black person. 

Types of Events: 

Corporate/Business Meeting
"Sometimes we just need a black perspective on policy, consumer opinion, or just the 'word on the street' but I don't know who to call." and "My company is doing a mandatory diversity training, but we don't have any black people. We need someone to help us feel diverse, if only for one day." 


Drop-in/Appearance
"My friends would think I was so cool if we just happened to run into a black friend of mine when we were shopping or eating lunch at our favorite restaurant!" 

Emergency//Short Notice (24 hour window)
"My only black friend just got the flu and my big party is tomorrow!" 

Non-Profit Function NEW!
"We try to diversify while we work on social issues, but we can't do it all!"
