STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE

There's an incredible blog that Elayne turned me onto called "Stuff White People Like" that is going to be published as a book by Random House in August 2008. This is because Elayne knows about almost everything that's cool.

The blog's only been around for a few months but has nearly 22 million visits already. That's because it's possibly the best blog ever. Since the content on mine sucks you should consider going to that one.

If you're white, you'll laugh. If you're black, you'll learn about white people. If you're from China the blog is probably blocked. If you're from black Africa you probably can't read. If you're from Bangladesh you can't read AND you probably don't have internet access. And if you're from Saudi Arabia you don't have time to read anything but the Koran, which is a laugh-a-minute thriller. So I suspect the blog is probably targeted at white and black people. And Asians in the US. I don't want to forget anyone.

7. Telling White People Off
One of the most fun things about being black is that white people listen to you, especially when you get all up in their grill. They act like they hate it and they get all huffy about it, but in the end they're always grateful for the experience. White people tend to forget who they are and what they're doing on this planet. That's why they watch foreign films. They know that they live two inches off the ground, and of course they often forget whether or not they are living in reality. They ask themselves stupid questions like, how do I know everything I'm experiencing is not an illusion and maybe when I'm asleep, that's reality. That's why white people made The Matrix. And who did they turn to in The Matrix? A black man, of course. Morpheus. White people need black people to ground them in reality, so the next time you feel like slapping the taste out of some white person's mouth for doing something spacey, go ahead and give them a neck shaking verbal beatdown. They'll act offended, but deep down they're really glad you did it. They call it an intervention, and we really like to give them.
