YOU'RE TURRIBL BRANDON!!

Every time I see this picture, the hook from "UNIverse at War" starts playing in my head.

The apocalypse or something.

I don't make enough money to care about bra and panties matching.

I'm from South Carolina. I don't trust no woman that leaves any meat on a chicken bone or uses a napkin to get sauce off her fingers.

People love a freakshow.

"Tell me, what about anything I said makes you think I am basing anything on a White standard or trying to meet the "arbitrary sensibilities of White people"?

I feel proud of myself- I did my taxes for the first time this year and I didn't wait till the last minute.

"…to me it looks like you're giving White people way more power than I am."

I really don't see how any of these Black people you allude to are setting us all back. So what if some people are selfish; the world's been full of selfish people. It hasn't arrested progress.

Two things. First, I'm ambivalent about having Black conversations in front of White people. I don't care to hide our problems away, but I also don't care about "intelligently answering" questions in front of them, just to show them how clever I am. Secondly, this:

"We still got house negroes though, and not just a few."

Peruse the internet or Twitter and you'll see that a lot of people are pointing and laughing.

Problem is, I didn't see much critiquing going on in that video. I saw of group of people pose a few substantive questions in the midst of presenting stereotypes as facts. It's lazy more than anything else.

The questions in that video aren't being dismissed because they're "embarrassing"; they're being dismissed because that video is mostly just repetition of debunked stereotypes and passive-aggressive whinging against Black people.

Yeah, yeah. See you on Thursday.

Maybe the point is to get people who aren't already convinced of their own righteousness to think more critically about how and why they believe the things they do?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't appear to be a Black person/ someone who grew up immersed in Black culture. If this is true, why are you willing to unquestioningly accept the narrative of that Buzzfeed video, yet you're quick to admonish Black people for mocking it?

They're "mostly true" based on what criteria? Most of the statements in that video were generalized opinions based on apparently anecdotal experiences and presented without context or evidence of their veracity. If you scroll through the comments, you'll be able to see numerous posts refuting specific points made in…

And why do you think that, Angel?
