Yeah, how do you go from one extreme to the other—calling them white devils and then praising them?

Arizona (where I live now) is also doing that "We need to attract top companies here!" mess while having absolutely abysmal schools.
Also, shout out to the white guy spotting her who also got arrested. Allies rock.
If only she had set fire to it, tore it, or did something else to physically destroy it.. That would have made this even better.
Or "Shots" by LMFAO.
Yeah, that was played at every party at my PWI. That and "What's Your Fantasy?" The white girls knew all the words to that.
That was exactly the song I was thinking of. The release was before my time, so I grew up hearing it and just assuming it was a black man singing that. And then my world was shaken about a year ago.

Yeah, I thought he, Michael McDonald, and Bobby Caldwell were all black.
Super Bass by Nicki Minaj.
Auuuggggh, I had forgotten about that movie. The braids with the beads!

The "I just find mixed people more attractive/mixed people are so attractive" racist.
1. Oh, the Wobble. 'Tis true. I was at a wedding recently where I was the only black person in attendance. We're dancing at the reception and I'm trying not to do anything too colored. "The Wobble" comes on and I just lose it and act a c00n. It was just me and one other guy who knew how to do the dance. Out of all the…
True about the white folks making it their mission to get you drunk. I went to a white friend's wedding that was held at a biergarten. Aunts were plying me with drinks.
