I think I’ve been hanging out on VSB since early 2010. I don’t know. I had to read a while before I realized that being “First!” was not a game in the comments section! lol

Happy New Year! I’ve never pulled up a chair and sat down for a while on the net, except for at VSB. And, then y’all moved! Dammit. Okay, it is a nice place and you have a beautiful view, but dammit! LOL!

Kool-Aid is so, so old. I had Kool-Aid as a kid. A kid. You weren’t born yet. :P

Awww... Happy Kwanzaa you two. I barely do Christmas and birthdays, and that’s only one day. Nope, can’t hang with seven. Y’all got that. Peace out.

#9 is everything. Since I only watch halftime anyway. ;)

That was too cute. And, that kid you stole, she’s a doll.

Madonna only played at the Black clubs and radio stations when she first ‘broke out’ with Holiday and Starlight. That’s how folks didn’t know she was white.

These people are also TN people. I was back home this weekend (just rolling in a few minutes ago back to the desert) and I swear to you, I have witnessed parts of this conversation in person this weekend. Flabbergasted is correct. I do not understand their rationales. Hell, I don’t even think they’ve thought through…

Don’t be shocked. Many white folks still don’t know that Kid Rock has a Black son. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

“learning when to trust that your children are telling you the truth and believing them because if you don’t, nobody else will.”

I second your list. I want stuffed crust or at least some cheesy bread on the side. Ever wonder about people that eat pizza (which is basically bread and cheese) that like bread and cheese as a side? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can only imagine how your lady finds this an interesting part of history. My ex, also a foreigner, would point out things I never really gave much thought to as well.

If you say so. My grandmother used potatoes, onion, and garlic, along with some other herbs to ‘stuff’ the bird for baking. Those give the bird some flavor, other than basting. That second picture, that’s the type of dressing both my grandmothers and my mom still cooks. It can go in the pan with the bird or as a side…

You did not say Jiffy. ROTFLMAO... Jiffy. Lawd my grandmother would cackle! She made that when she didn’t feel like going all out on *real* cornbread. But, for Thanksgiving?! Son.............. lmao

I’m sorry, but your ‘dressing’ in that picture is NOT dressing. That is stuffing made on the side. Dressing has a creamy consistency that firms up in the oven and makes a nice crust. Dressing is a Southern staple served on Thanksgiving and Christmas alike. It can be cooked around the bird, and if your pan is deep…

Okay. You apparently neglect that not all white folks owned slaves. But, that’s cool to keep that myopic focus if it suites you. Native Americans shared their food preparations as well, long before the slave trade. JS

Chitlins? Me. No. I can’t.

Where I was raised, the food was a shared culture. But, carry on.

I view his contribution as either sheltered or satire. I think it really is the later. ;)
