Stuff white people like

No, tiny elvis isn't being a ridiculous racist...she is just enjoying her new book of the same title. I've only read about 30 pages of the book, but after skimming the many topics that makes whitey so loveable, I realized that I am in fact more white than my husband, which is probably bad. But I'm not sure. I know the book is just based on stereotypes, but it's still pretty humorous.



So, I've decided to make my own list of things black people like. Since not too many of us live in Lisle, I have to base this list on stories my mother tells me about the neighborhood I grew up in (where she still lives) and episodes of Maury.



*Designer baby clothes
-Because it's not enough to have given birth to a beautiful baby; we have to let the world know that our baby is special because we're stupid enough to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes they will more than likely soil with spit-up formula and strained peas.

*Bennigan's (it's a shame that it's closed now)

*Oversized white t-shirts

*Random barbecues

*Tyler Perry-anything

*Air Jordans, even though he hasn't played ball for a million years

*Morris Chestnut

*Six Flags

*Applebees (since Bennigan's is closed)

*Pepsi

*Six degrees of separation
-Because everyone knows someone who knows someone whose cousin once sang in the choir with a twice-removed cousin of R. Kelly.

I'm seriously too lazy to add explanations to the other bullets. Check back later; I'll update it soonish.

  2. when did Bennigan's close? I mean, we don't even have that here, but we did in Houston. Anyway.

    Black people like:
    Vocoders - see T-Pain.

    Sperrys - because it's the opposite end of the spectrum from the $135 Js, and they look 'refined'.

    Pastor Appreciation Services - that are usually either tacked onto the end of service, or require that everyone return to church at 4 for two hours of uselessness and dry-ass baked chicken.

    Church Punch - who doesn't love church punch? Usually consists of Tang/Tampico/Sunny D and 7-up.

    Being posers - most black people in a Pantera t-shirt have never listened to Pantera. At least the white people we see in Biggie shirts know half the words to 'Hypnotize'.

    Bud Light - I'll never EVER understand that one.

    Menthol - Not just any menthol, Newports. We will settle for nothign less.
    Or nothing more.

    Scarface and Carlito's Way - WTF is that about?

  3. Oh, I know all about those Pastor Appreciation Services, as though the thousands of dollars we give them via the collection isn't good enough....
