Too funny. And so true. There's a new comedy show on Showtime featuring white comedians that do all that. Pretty funny stuff
If you think that's funny.. i'm a screamin' Irish kid.. I went to Frenchy's one afternoon when the chicken smell had permeated my apartment (that was literally 20 yards from Frenchy's).. the guy at the counter said I couldn't have certain things on the menu because I was white (namely any potato products), he forced me to get collard greens and fried okra. I wasn't mad, I thought it was kind of funny, but as somebody who is irish, I wanted my damned potatoes And yeah, I got some pretty weird looks from the black patrons there. Maybe it was because when I walked in I said "WHAT UP PLAYA PLAYA RIVER ROCKET!!"
you are kidding???? H*LL N*W!!! I'd have to him . . I want my Potatoes and my Sweet Potatoe pie too Rocket River It is Friday . . . Peach Cobbler Day i think
In contexts of greetings or reference, the word brother is generally associated with blacks, even if it may be outdated. What does "Another Brother" as your monikor refer to?
so i'm not the only irishman who eats at Frenchy's???? sadly, i don't get over that way much anymore. when i was in law school i ate there a ton.
I feel a Seinfeldian routine coming on: So what's the deal with all white people identifying me as 'the black dude'? If I ran out of this theater with my hair on fire right now, I'm sure the people out there on the street would say "Hey,look at that black dude with his hair on fire". Now, wouldn't just "the dude with his hair on fire" cover everyone in the immediate area that did in fact have their hair on fire? Is their a chance I might be mistaken for, well anybody else? Oh the black dude with his hair on fire, I thought you meant that Irish dude over there. His hair isn't actually in a state of combustion but the redishness had me somewhat confuse about to whom you were refering.
I think there's something funny when people WON'T describe another person by an obvious attribute. Say, a girl has enormous breasts. Someone asks the group, "So, what's she look like?" The group all looks at each other...eye coding. Someone pipes up "Well, she's got blonde hair ...and ...blue eyes...and...she's really into fitness..." "Oh, yeah, she's fit - everyone says that".
As long as they're not saying it to be demeaning, and you're part of the clicka, you're allright. I would say: "That black comedian"... but not to mean "that comedian who eats watermelon", or "that comedian that defends only Preston Wilson"... then that becomes demeaning... you know? Is is too late for me to get the moniker Another Vato or Another Messcan Dude??? I don't like to use the word "vato"
Trade Preston for Carl Crawford... (another negrito)... that's all I'm gonna say, brother. Bring in the local black guy, Drayton! Seriously speaking, though... if someone said I was "that Mexican dude..." I have no problem with that. WTF? I am MEXICAN. HeLllLlLLllooOoOooo? I mean it.
Michael: Let me ask you, is there a term besides Mexican that you prefer? Something less offensive? Oscar: Mexican isn't offensive. Michael: Well...there are connotations...
