3. Most blacks in America are ideologically conservative (however, this is rapidly changing with younger people.) What causes these conservatives to vote against their own values is the perception that the conservatives political culture despises them.
Same with Hispanics, maybe even more so.

Excellent post, btw.
 
The site seems quite harmless. I'll bet that the question answerers google many of the questions before replying. That's what I did.

Google told me that ashy skin is the same thing as chalky skin for Caucasians. More likely to occur when humidity levels are low.

I believe that that is the answer that I would have received from the OP's site.
 
dangit what to serve black people,wait i know fried chicken!!,oh wait im white and i love fried chicken.I know serve them watermelon!!! oh wait im white and i love watermelon.i know hotwings,wait who doesnt like hot wings?

wait just on the first topic alone,i cant name anything different between whites and blacks on food with the exception of possum and pigs feet,but was a site really needed on why a black man named bubba lee jenkins likes possum stew?

I never did get the fried chicken thing. Other than hippie vegan types, who the hell doesn't love fried chicken?
 
Well, ghetto has historically meant a Jewish part of town... I don't know how it ever got associated with black people.
Good to see someone else with some understanding of the history of the term.

Yeah, it's Italian in etymology, and referred to the areas were Jews were forced to live - it essentially refers to forced segregation.

From there, it's easy to follow the term's application to segregated areas of pre-civil rights American black citizens.

It's similar to the way 'diaspora' also originally referred to Jews (living in a foreign land), but now has found it's way as reference to other groups a well. (ex: Chicago's large Polonia community)

Not necessarily.

Some of these individuals could be naive or unindoctrinated in the ways of a different culture.

I was just this way as a white kid growing-up in a segregated city, during and just after the civil-rights movement & the King marches.

Not long after, I dated a black girl.

I marveled at the diversity of thought I found in her family, after seeing nothing but Dr. King & Jessie Jackson on TV, and watched them marching through our neighborhood en mass with huge crowds in tow.

After meeting them, I was like: "What"? "What do you mean you don't like Jessie Jackson"? "Isn't he your guy"?

I actually expected they worshiped 'their guys' the way we worshiped Sinatra, Rocky Marciano, & Joey D.

Yeah, I was that naive ...

(and it's probably why I love the movie 'A Bronx Tale')

Not always something that sinister, some just don't know what they're talking about of pure ignorance.

This happens within races too. It's a marvel to see how many African Americans seem to think of black people as a monolith, something many other black ethnicities around the world do not do or wish to do. It's why I hate the term "black culture" and the way it's used as a Jamaican American, as if we're all the same, we ain't.

I see it quite a bit on the internet, and can tell the folks doing this, and they're usually young like me, just don't know any better.

wait...you mean not all black people eat jerk chicken, listen to raggae, smoke lots of weed, and bobsled?

;)
 
Ask a black person what to cook for black guests, what music do the blacks like, how to behave blacks, how is it to be black, why are there so many thugs among blacks… What the hell was this site made for? To feel the difference between blacks and whites and to incite racial hatred more?

Anonymously Ask A Black Person

As dumb as this site is....

First Amendment baby.... love it or hate it.
 
So don't casually interject the word in that usage in Facebook. Check.

Really? I don't give a ****.

Nobody cares if I am offended by their use of certain words or what-not.... why should I be concerned with offending them?
 
OP -- did you vote yes? How embarrassing.

I don't have that luxury. I'm not anonymous and my name means something professionally. I have to play nice with others in the public arena.
 
I would NEVER anonymously ask a black person.

I might consider asking a black person anonymously, however.

I know! And watermelon? Come on. I could eat that crap for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I can never get tired of watermelon.

Same here, man. That's what I make a beeline for when we go to Golden Corral. :lol:

I have always resented that stereotype and Im not even black. Same with what constitutes as "soul food", as all it really consists of is traditional southern foods.

Black people don't have the market cornered on southern food and sweet delicious watermelon and fried chicken.

We have a local "soul food" restaurant that is similar to Golden Corral, but the food is actually good. The vegetables don't come from a can, and are slow cooked with seasoning. The chicken isn't frozen, etc. It's all just really good food, and is marketed as "soul food." There are just as many white people in there as black people.
