http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ i suppose you really can post anything on the internet huh?
It's just a form of mimicry. The author doesn't fit into white society, and you're reading the reaction. Read it in the past, and brought it up to my "African American Experience, UNST-105" professor. Mildly upsetting, but you've got to reach for it.
Attending an all black university, I'm accustomed to "reverse" racism (sshh, it doesn't exist...), but that site's not very popular. No need to worry. The extreme racists don't like it; they say the author studies white culture too closely. The moderate racists have better things to do, and the younger kids aren't fans because of the correct grammar and lack of links to Facebook.
(Sounds racist, I know, but I'm merely repeating the things I've heard over the past few years.)
Funny in different levels, depending on your daily personal experiences. Just try to laugh at it. I think of it as a real-time appreciation of my culture with tongue-in-cheek humor, from the outside looking in, like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
the site itself didn't offend me at all. i just thought it intresting. i'm the kind of person that feels if you don't like what's on the t.v, radio, etc, don't watch or listen. it irritates me that society is so sensitive to things and the first thing they wanna do is censor something or sue someone because they got "offended".
Out of the first 16 I only liked 3 things, Frisbee sports, America, and The Onion (but even then, not so much).
Browsed the full list, found maybe 5 more.
there were some gooders in there.. the 'assists' one was pretty funny.
all in all... if you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at? :cheers:

IMHO there is no "reverse" racism. racism is racism is racism no matter who is startgin it and who is the recipient. imho it is ignorance plain and simple
QuoteA proper reference to Arrested Development or the lending of a Wire Season on DVD are considered two of the easiest and most cost effective ways of getting a white person to like you.
