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.

ReplyDelete[that cost more than the car/truck they're attached to] LoL
when did Bennigan's close? I mean, we don't even have that here, but we did in Houston. Anyway.
ReplyDeleteBlack 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?
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....
