Stuff White People Like

any generalization of black people are extremely ignorant, taboo, and will get you attacked by the north.

I think it depends on the kind of stereotypes that are being thrown around. White people liking Apple products is funny - no harm done. But a lot of the stereotypes being thrown at black people on here are very negative and very ignorant (black people don't get divorced because they just leave their baby-mommas????). Not exactly the same kind of joke there.

oh i agree. that comment was way out of line. but looking at the thread, the objections were raised before the baby momma comment was dropped. and i guess i don't see the harm in saying that black people enjoy hi-c orange and friend chicken.

I'm black I never been camping and will probably never go. I don't understand why somebody would give up electricty and water from out the faucet willingly just to be "one with nature." But hey there's nothing wrong with others wanting to do it.

That site reminds me of the black kids I grew up. They used to do this thing called playing white, where they would "imitate" white people. "Man, I'm gonna get a good job and ****! **** that man, look at me, I'm gonna be president."

Wow, way to rag on whitey.

Here you go, gHost.

Saying that black people don't go camping is funny...even the grape drink thing was kind of funny, because that skit that Dave Chappell did was hilarious... But yeah, this is on a different level entirely.

At first I thought it was just dumb (with some funny parts) b/c it was incorrect: black people don't like traveling, dogs, recycling, living by water?

Then after looking at it again, I think the underlying motive of the blog is to (in no particular order): 1) be funny, 2) negatively stereotype black people (maybe other minorities) in a subtle way, 3) make fun of liberal, east coast white people.

Typical scUM fan. You have no idea what your talking about. It's not juices. Juice cost too much. We drink Kool-Aid. Wylers Kool-Aid.

Grape and Red.

Not reading the whole thread, but if you think "stuff white people like" has anything to do with black people, or any race other than "caucasian" then you are mistaken.

It is a blog written by white people who are basically describing themselves. Oh and it's about the yuppies living in LA...

well, if you bothered to read the whole thread, we're talking about things that happened in the thread. thanks for your insight into a thread you haven't read.

i don't need to read the thread to get that some one saw the "white people like divorce" and decided to write something along the lines of "oh yeah! well, black people like fried chicken and watermelon" or something just as racist.

My point is that black people didn't write that so there is absolutely no reason to get upset and try to disparage another race out of so called retaliation. Especially being that it's with poor taste and devoid of humor.

I'm sure if I read the whole thread I'd just see regurgitated quotes from the Chappelle Show.

i really don't think anyone was trying to retaliate or anything at first. someone just playfully suggested an alternative list for black people. it wasn't really mean spirited or any more "offensive" than the white list.

then came a comment of "white people like divorce. black people just leave their baby mommas" which i agree was completely out of line. i don't know why you would say something like that, but i don't think it was retaliatory.

I didn't read this until now. I laughed a couple of times but it isn't overly funny and not offensive either.

But dammed if I don't want some fried fish and a taco salad right now.

Even I think you're racist, congrats!

Posting on tRCMB

I wrote this in response to the deleted thread "STUFF BLACK PEOPLE LIKE" just after it was deleted, because honestly it is bothering me:

Once again, that website is written by WHITE PEOPLE in southern california and canada. And it attacks a specific type of "white person" mostly the yuppie like myself and most of the transported "Californians", a group who the authors are a part.

The need to retaliate is based on your own racist needs, because you should be retaliating not against BLACK PEOPLE but against your own kind. Why you chose black people to post a thread on and attack speaks volumes of your own bigotry as if there is a supposed competition or culture of white v. black.

Suppose the authors of that website were asian or latino, why not "attack" them to prove your point. Why is it your natural assumption that a black person has anything to do with the site or that a creating a thread based on black hatred somehow, at best, evens the score or, at worst, points out some sort of ironic double standard.

To further my point, the website is attacking a certain type of upwardly mobile individual who seems to value things like foreign movies, books, and independent music; the type of individual who tends to laugh at jabs like this rather then feel insecure and vengeful. I find it hard to believe that those getting up set at it are really the type of individual describe on the website. I think you are taking offense to the fact that anyone would dare criticize your race, even if the author is part of said race.

The website was made to be humorous not nasty, although it does at times seem to cut deep, but like I said the type of individual it is mocking is the type that doesn't get offended easily, probably because they have enough money to help console their bruised ego. The site does not take cheap shots at easy targets.

For example, it doesn't say that white people like NASCAR, country music, beating their wives, alcohol, hating minorities, being serial killers, or taking advantage of third world countries; all cheap shots that could easily be used to incite harm and hatred. In fact it does the exact opposite by highlighting how a specific group of white people enjoy petty individuality and self discovery based on cultural sensitivity.

So basically what I am saying is that a thread or a counter website based on the "principle" that jabs at white people sets a double standard just shows your bigotry. Unless it was made by actual african americans who say thing like:

STUFF BLACK PEOPLE LIKE #44 W.E.B. DuBois

But I truly doubt that your "principled" thread or website would contain actual humor and good natured jabs. Instead focusing on those easy hurtful comments that SWPL didn't go for such as fried chicken, watermelon, and an occasional drug or child abandonment comment. But maybe I'm way out of my element and you get it and wouldn't sink to these racist depths. Or maybe it's ok now since Dave Chappelle said so.

[haveacigar535]

look, any white person who got genuinely offended by the SWPL post and needed to lash out as a result, seriously needs to check themselves.

but thinking about stuff that black people like doesn't make you a racist. there's a difference between attempting to disparage a race of people and having some good natured fun with harmless generalizations going the other way; and then dropping a "black people leave their baby mommas" line. The guy who posted that is incredibly out of line. observing that black people enjoy hi-c drink and menthol cigarettes doesn't belong in the same category as the baby mommas comment.

You're right, responding to a page about how dumb white people are for raising children and then getting divorced is WAY out of line. And bringing up something that people I grew up with actually SAID and DID is just plain crazy.
