After that was released, my local radio station made a "stuff black people like" but they only allowed black people to call in so nobody would get severely offended.

Stuff White People Like


Quote:

#125 - Bob Marley:

During the course of a white person’s education they will go through many phases including but not limited to: “awkward,” “classic rock,” and “being really into a foreign country.” Of these phases, there is only one that all white people are required to go through before they can obtain their bachelor’s degree. It is known as “Bob Marley.”

Depending on the coolness of the white person, they can experience this stage anywhere between the sixth grade and their last year of college. Regardless of when they went through this phase, every white person can tell you about the time when they had Legend on repeat. If you wish to test this theory, go to any floor in a College Dorm and there is a 100% chance you will find at least one Bob Marley poster.

It is also worth noting that white people tend get into smoking marijuana during this phase. This is why all white people view the combination of the two as one of the most pleasurable experiences on earth. But when white people really want to take it to the next level they will combine Bob Marley, Marijuana, a long weekend and some sort of notable outdoor location (beach, cottage, or patio). There are few activities on earth that are more appealing to white people.

The only acceptable reasons for declining participation are a prior engagement at a music festival or a commitment to go camping.

It’s also worth noting that when talking to white people about Bob Marley there is no need to use his surname. This is because all white people refer to him simply as “Bob.”

Since so many people are into Bob Marley, it is only natural for advanced white people to profess to only marginally liking Bob Marley (note: it is impossible for a white person to outright dislike him). Instead, these white people will claim to preferring more obscure artists like Burning Spear or Peter Tosh.

But be warned that a white person saying they like “reggae” what they really mean is “reggae from 1965-1983.”

Under no circumstances should you ever bring a white person to a dancehall reggae concert, it will frighten them.

Note: if you are talking to a white person who is really into Bob Marley, has dreadlocks, and professes to be a Rastafarian, you should end the conversation immediately. These people are of no value unless you need directions to a WTO protest or have questions about how bad a human can smell.

hahhaaha, its so funny, i lol each time

Talking about how white people love study abroad:

Quote:

It is also important that you understand the study abroad ranking system. Europe/Australia form the base level, then Asia, then South America, and finally the trump card of studying abroad in Tibet. Then there is the conversation killer of studying abroad in Africa. If you studied in Africa, it is usually a good idea to keep it quiet, it will remind white people that they were too scared to go and they will feel bad. Use this only in emergencies.
:laughing:

duga 01-20-2010 05:37 PM

hahaha...i love that one

although recently here in the states people count canada as studying abroad...even europe seems too alien to attempt for most.

gogojessicat 01-20-2010 06:34 PM

wow this is hilarious. the stuff about smoking and listening to bob marley... wow that was like 50% of the kids i went to high school with.

duga 01-20-2010 06:36 PM

only 50%?

asshat 01-21-2010 02:36 AM

Am I the only one that thinks this site and book are retarded?

Seriously...you recycle, haha you're white! You read noam chomsky...haha you're white! Your interested in other cultures!...haha you're white! It seems like it's some heavy right wing bull sh-it masquerading as satire.

I hate the fact that I'm worried I shouldn't be offended by this, this had been done for any other ethnic group there'd have been uproar. Not much thought seems to have gone into it. Just seems to me very racist. I don't know If I'm just being a bit of a nob for thinking it but this angers me. I'm amazed that it's so widely accepted as being 'OK'.
Frankly if this had been done for another Ethnic group and I'd posted it I think the response I would have got might have been very different and that aggravates me somewhat.

Yeah, I'm with you. If it's "stuff white people like", where's the NASCAR and country music and whatnot. I've always thought a more accurate title for it would be "stuff upper-middle class American coastal liberals like".

that was what the guy intended, he even states "it's not about all white people, but the trendy hipsters you see now or days."

hell, this is the guy who writes it:

i personally find alot of it very funny and VERY true.


as for a what black people like, watch the Boondocks. sure, much is exaggerated, but imo it shows a side of black people that i have seen much in my life.

That must be a new addition from people pointing that out to him because a year or so ago when I saw the site for the first time I don't remember anything like that being mentioned and I remember thinking, "hmmm... this site should have a different name".

well even so, alot of this is based on experience. i wouldn't really expect someone who would make "stuff black people like" to know black people of different groups, communities or economies.

and i do admit i didn't know before that he hadn't mentioned that when first creating the site. still, i wouldn't expect him to be mr. all knowing of white people. idk, i feel that some people should lighten up with that cause it's really just the experiences and observations of one man. i don't even think he believes all white people are like that, but in a sense, it does tie in to a cluster of people who have very much in common, many of which happen to be white, at least from my experience.

I'm not saying it upsets me or anything, I'm just saying it doesn't make me laugh because it doesn't ring true for me with what it's labeled as. If it rang true in some way I'd probably think it was funny.

This blog really isn't that funny. I don't know why it's so wildely popular. The only thing I've ever really laughed at was the Apple thing because, come to think of it, I've never seen a black guy in the Apple Store.

That reminds me of a hilarious Uncle Ruckus quote from the TV series The Boondocks...

Meh. I've never even heard of Ed Hardy so I guess I don't really get the joke with that one.
