I doubt anything worth while starts or happens in Canada...lol.

edit:

You know I love all y'all from Canada, right? lol

 

[MrsKent26]

Only snow and bears happen in Canada.

Not even joking.

 

[charl_huntress]

I believe you, Mrs.K... lol

Your brownies are happening in Canada Mrsk. And that's a good thing.

 

[MrsKent26]

^ Thanks, Krypton, but my brownies are the only warm thing here until July.

I didn't think that they would let someone with the name Barack Obama get elected President either, but Bush ****ed things up so badly that it became acceptable at the time. Of course the funny thing is that Obama got a ton of criticism for damn near all of Bush's **** ups. Not that he doesn't deserve his own criticism, but people who were scared to criticize the President after 9/11 finally got to talk **** about the Chief. It's kinda like how people didn't want to criticize The Dark Knight because of all the emotion around Ledger's death, but with The Dark Knight Rises they finally got to say something.

Conspiracy Brother would probably say that it was all planned that way by the Illuminati.

I thought we'd get a White female President before a Black male one.

 

[Erzengel]

Why?

Blacks had the right to vote before women.

 

[Lencho01]

Simply because most politicians are White. Nothing to do with who had the right to vote first.

 

[Warhammer]

Why don't white people accept Obama as white? Technically, black and white people hold dual ownership of him. If only we had a Racial Draft...

 

[PyroChamber]

I think that all depends on how a people looks. Yeah Obama has black and white in him, but when you see him you mostly just see a black man.

I read a story in the paper a few years ago about the misconceptions that Irish Americans have about Ireland. So many of them travel to Ireland with preconceived notions that the locals resent. They expect to be treated like countrymen but the Irish consider them to be Americans.

There nothing more annoying than people who think their ancestry makes them an expert on a country that they have never set foot in for more than a week. You know like those Italian American guys for example who have never been to Italy but think they are experts on all things Italian simply because their great great grandparents came from Italy.

I'm half Jamaican and have spent time in Jamaica but I don't claim to be the worlds leading authority on all things Jamaican.

If I had to choose, I'd say Skin Diamond but she's mixed that doesn't fully count I guess.

It's kind of weird her dad is the black dude from kids show Balamory

Your only white if you match the 'white features' chart

Pinky is swimming in std's I think.

NOooooooo

 

[Manic]

White people only claim half-white/half-black people if they think that person is white to begin with. See: Mariah Carey in the 90's, Wentworth Miller from Prison Break, Vin Diesel when everyone thought he was just Italian or something, and Carol "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" Channing.

 

[charl_huntress]

Mariah Carey's asinine response on the Arsenio Hall show years ago is why I still hate that broad today.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Where did the "watermelon and chicken" myth originate? And why?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Stick to Cherokee's PHAT ASS.

The things I would do to that ass...

Am I the one brotha here who doesn't have a favorite black porn star?

The worst thing about Bush is his stupid weather machine. One day it's sunny outside, and then suddenly there's snow everywhere! I don't know how that's possible (he can probably read our minds). I hate that guy! He's so evil...

Why can't you give us our sun back? Shame on you, Mr Bush!

Myth? Not a myth.

The watermelon one dates back to the days of slavery. Slave masters used to give their slaves the disgusting, barely digestible parts of animals to cook and eat for themselves. The slaves knew that no rational person should eat some of that slop, but they had to eat it anyway. To combat these forced bad eating habits, hey would also consume massive amounts of watermelon because fruit will flush out your system like it's nobody's business.

As for chicken, who the hell doesn't like chicken? You'd have to be a vegan or vegetarian to not like chicken. If anything, that stereotype needs to be shared with every racial group with access to the damned animal.

 

[charl_huntress]

I've heard that chicken came from plantation owners, since "pieces" of the chicken were always left over. To add....frying the pieces was a way to bring more flavor and do away with bacteria.

Fruit as a "digestive cleaner" is well documented and has been for a long while.

What did she say?
