I sometimes like to visit the sites stuufwhitepeoplelike and stuffeducatedblackpeoplelike for a good laugh and dose of the truth. So I was thinking about things I personally know black people like, since I am black, and came up with my own personal short list:

Messing up a name with “unique” spelling

Black people have recently started to get away from the typical Shaniquas Diamonds and Trevonnes and move on to more normal traditional names. I mean we do want our kids to get jobs in their future! But then some of us still mess it up with some crazy spelling trying to be “different“. For example I found this on yahoo:

I need help with my baby's name!!! Lots of questions!!!?

Ok. So I have a couple of question. I am having a baby girl. I am stuck between the names, Camryn or Kennedy!! Well I am also stuck on the spelling of Kennedy because I want to change it and also a middle name for my daughter. Hear are the spellings I like: Kennedi & Kynnede. I was trying to spell it with a "C" because both of her parents name begins with a "C", but no luck. So the questions are:

Which name you like best? Camryn or Kennedy
Which spelling for Kennedy? Kennedi or Kynnede
Do you know a different spelling for either name?
Do you have a good middle name?

Thanks for all your help!!! I look forward to your answers.

Why the hell would you spell Kennedy, Kennedi or Kynnede?!? I’ve had this strange phenomenon occur in my immediate family too. Instead of my sister-in-law just spelling my nieces’ name E-R-I-C-A she had to be “different and spell it Airika!

Asians

Black people love Asians. We have to, who else is gonna cook that bomb shrimp egg foo young with extra gravy and then turn around and sell that Hawaiian silky number 12? When you actually sit down and think about it black people alone pay Asians billions of dollars a year in the purchasing of hair care products, Chinese food, and nail care! Lord help us if they ever decide to migrate back to Asia!

Not Prioritizing

Black people love to not prioritize. Some of us will spend over 300 dollars and some concert tickets to see Maxwell or a new Coach purse but the car note is two months behind and you have until the 12th to pay your rent or be evicted. And men if you are over the age of 25 and are pushin a new Lincoln navigator with two motorcycles and are still living in your momma basement giving her only 300 dollars a month eating up all her food in the fridge and have made no plans to go out and find your own place....you need to prioritize!

Saying I’m Blessed

Black people can have cancer, emphazima, one eye, your dog just died, lost their job, about to get put out they house and still when you ask how they doing their response is “I’m blessed”. Gotta give it to us though, we some positive mofos lol.

Thinking up excuses the night before when we call into work

I have done this. The night before when I’ve made up my mind I’m calling into work I will almost stress myself out trying to find a good excuse I will give my employer for why I will not be coming. A simple “I’m sick” is not good enough anymore so we have to get creative. I’ve had one co-worker(who is black) tell me they came right out and told the super “Look I have the bg’s so I’m not going to be able to make it today”.

The list just goes on and on. Ahhhh black people…..gotta love us!
