| A friend of mine on facebook posted this up and I happened to read it. At first I was thinking, "Are you kidding me!?" This site's sole purpose is to point out how ignorant and stupid and yadda yadda "white people" are. Yes, it can be done in a playful humor and even be called satire. But only ignorant people assume that is is totally done out of fun and games. There are definitely true feelings about these posts behind the person and people reading it. I'm not personally offended by the posts....I just find it so incredibly (for lack of a better word) predictable how someone can put a "what white people like" and say all this crap about "white people" as if they are the only ones who enjoy these things...and if someone put up a "what black people like" and loaded it up with things like fried chicken, beer, bling, wellfare, old cadillacs, baggy clothes, etc... that site would be deemed as racists by all standards in a second and you know it would. with that being said...i think both sites are stupid, pointless and a waste of time.
Here are just a few posts that I read when I was searching the site. Granted, some made me chuckle but most are so ignorantly stated that it makes me sad.
This one apparently "Kanye West" posted on his blog. I swear, this guy gives me more and more reason to hate him with every word that comes out of his mouth.
"In general, white people love situations where they can’t lose.
While this does account for the majority of their situations, perhaps
the safest bet a white person can make is to buy a house in an
up-and-coming neighborhood.
White people like to live in these neighborhoods because they get
credibility and respect from other white people for living in a more
“authentic” neighborhood where they are exposed to “true culture” every
day. So whenever their friends mention their home in the suburbs or
richer urban area, these people can say “oh, it’s so boring out there,
so fake. In our neighborhood, things are just more real.” This
superiority is important as white people jockey for position in their
circle of friends.
They are like a modern day Lewis and Clark, except instead of
searching for the ocean, they are searching for old properties to
renovate.
In a few years, if more white people start moving in, these initial
trailblazers will sell their property for triple what they paid and
move into an ultramodern home.
Credibility or money, they can’t lose!
When one of these white people tell you where they live, you should
say “whoa, it’s pretty rough down there. I don’t think I could live
there.” This will make them feel even better about their credibility
and status as neighborhood pioneers." "In most situations, white people are very comforted by seeing their
own kind. However, when they are eating at a new ethnic restaurant or
traveling to a foreign nation, nothing spoils their fun more than
seeing another white person. Many white people will look into the window of an ethnic restaurant to see if there are other white people in there."
*some responses to the site: "White people like to sugar coat negative thoughts, experiences, and
feelings. Men must not express feelings. Sex is sort of beat around the
bush and operates under some form of abstract oppression. Drink milk
and then smell like it. Are focused on the outside and materiality.
Will usually go along with what an employer wants good or bad. They
like to feel like they are in control, nosy, questioning the
obvious""I have topic for yo:. Buying clothing with the store’s name
plastered all over it (Abercrombie, American Eagle, Aeropostale, The
Gap, etc).
White people buy clothing from those stores because those stores are
considered “cool” (ie expensive). That’s why they make sure to buy
clothing with the store’s name on it. They want to advertise that they
shop at those stores, and are therefore “cool.”" *yes, because "black" people dont do the exact same thing....
For all you people who study abroad, be sure to check out be sure to check out #72 (second most recent post) to find out what your real reasons for studying abroad are and how stupid you are. But only if you're white, if you're black and study abroad, I'm sure you have good reason.
What is wrong with people, white, black, asain, whatever, who cares?
