Stuff Black People Don't Like

So I feel really out of the loop with everything that’s going on in my classes. I have been feeling really bad lately. I think I have tonsillitis (according to a friend who shone a flashlight in my throat & inspected my tonsils). Luckily, I have an appointment at Schiffert for tomorrow morning so they can diagnose what’s really wrong with me. But I’m worried about the medicine that they give me because it’s really hard for me to swallow pills. I sike myself out so much that I just won’t do it. So I’m sorry my blogs really, really off topic this week. It’s about stuff black people don’t like (http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/).
This site is hilarious! And so true! I can tell you that this site is not lying because I have been black for almost 19 years so take my word for it. There really is a lot of stuff out there that most black people just don’t like. This blog is kind of a play on Stuff White People like, & just like that one, it’s hilarious. Except this blog has a lot more thought put into it. Okay so here are some of my favorites:
• “Tiger Woods fall from grace”-This was a real shame for us black folks. Tiger had transcended into a world that was typically only for white people. You don’t see many black people playing golf in the hood. He was even beating white people at their own game! And it’s true, most of the positive images that other cultures have of black people do come from the world of sports. He was like the door that was inviting black people in to play golf. That door has just been slammed in our faces. Now his image is smeared by this scandal and he has become just another black, professional athlete.
• “Waiting nearly 100 years for a black Disney princess”- SO TRUE! Almost every Disney princess has been white, with the exception of Jasmine & Pocahontas. It was almost like saying that this level of wealth & beauty was not available to black people. Like the only thing that we could look up to was becoming white. This movie was seriously lacking though. The biggest mistake was that they spent over half the movie as frogs so you couldn’t really see their African loveliness. But other than that the movie was great & I was so excited about having a black Disney princess! It was a long time coming. I wish they would’ve had her when I was a kid so I could’ve dressed up as her for Halloween instead of someone that I could never be.
• “Small butts”-It’s a wonder with the types of food that black people eat (fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, beans) that any of us have small butts. While white people value women with a small figure, most people value a woman with some meat on her bones. This article says that it goes back to slave days because slave owners wanted “a big black man with a big black woman to have a big black kid with.” Well no matter the reason for it, it’s true. Being too skinny is not a good thing in the black community. Every time I went to my grandma’s house she would try to feed me so much food because she thought no good black man wants to be with some skinny girl. It makes him think she wants to be white.
So these were just 3 of my favorites. You should definitely check out the blog & read more! Night!
