Sit down restraunts.... Occasionally, but not on Friday night. Too many people, rushed food, and too noisy. Give me a late lunch in the afternoon. Am currently craving lasagna.
Farmer's Markets. What's not to like? Fresh food, a nice atomosphere, plus there are always craft people selling cool things which is even better than the food.
Cargo shorts. Yuck. I wear light jeans in the summer with boots (and I'm female). Or sandles if I have to but they hurt my feet. The shorts I wear I usually wear jeans over outside the house.
Mad Men. Never saw it. I'll go for Dr. Who or old trek reruns or Falling Skies. Don't need to be reminded of the sixties. I remember them (er, well mostly lol)
Minivans. Love minivans. Not the big fancy ones the OLD SIMPLE ones. I would in particular like the nice Toyota van (no name, as it was the first) that got stolen and parted out and may still be driving around in Mexico somewhere back (reassembled, of course.) I loved being able to see OVER all the little cars and could even bring lumber home and close the back.
Oprah. Yes, I liked her show. I liked how she opened up subjects which were usually taboo and hid in the dark and brought in the sunshine. I loved her camping in Yosemite with Gale trip. I generally don't see tv show hosts as a skin color, but by how interesting they make the show. Wish she'd come back with new ones.
Self help books. Occasionally, mostly I don't like the way they tell you I know everything and your stupid. I glean for information. Mainline history, star trek and journels/diaries/memiours.
Kindles. Don't have one. See above. Three arrived today from Amazon in the non-digital format. Read half of one of the novels after taking the dog for a walk.
Pets. See above. My favorite people all have furry faces. They are waiting for me to finish this so they can get their critter chow. Regular people are annoying and don't make very good roomates.
Motorcycles. You mean doner cycles? Nuf said.
Guns. Never had one, don't want one. I think people of all shades have been known to have and want them.
Closure. Why not? It means you can close a book in life and move onto a new one, leave behind the baggage. Maybe if people were willing to work to find it of all shades it would be a whole better world.
'dis'likes
Black men. The two creeps in gang wear who though I should let them use my phone and wouldn't shut up I didn't like. If they'd not been black I still would consider them creeps and not liked them. My neighbor who was really cool I liked. MEN who act civilized and polite are fine. MEN who act like jerks can go on their way.
Being the objects of humor. Go ahead it it makes you feel good. I feel kinda sad for you since you need to climb out of the pit you dig when putting people down. Not my problem.
Taxes. I like the way some places online don't charge sales tax. I don't thing anyone *likes* taxes.
Foreign languages. I took German in school, since it wasn't French which I'd had in elementary and I already tried Spanish which I can't pronounce. It was interesting. I talk to the furries in it so I don't forget it. When dealing with people, I expect English. When watching foreign movies I can read subtitles and prefer them over it. When calling some help line I HATE when it takes three calls until you can figure out what they're saying. If I was in a foreign country I wouldn't expect them to all speak English.
Mean people. Why should anyone NOT not like mean people? I think you like the people with something in common.
stuff you missed...
like...
mac & cheese in the power stuff. comfort food
Loud Irish folk music.
Science fiction conventions in hall costume (yes, there is a nightbird outfit)
dislike
crowds. Why I moved where there aren't any.
scary weather, even if they talk about it for six hours before it might reach you. Still glad I moved though.
lawnmowers. My vision for my lawn is a meadow. City doesn't go along with that.
oops that was the stuff missed off this one partular pale skinned person.
How do you derail a thread meant to provoke? Make fun of it.
Oh I had a year long run on the figs - YUM! Ritz Crackers - see Eddie Murphy - 'that aint no ordinary cracker that's a Ritz cracker' -(licks fingers with eyes wide open) He! He!
I do love Vanilla Wafers and GrahmCrackers - I bet I could make a million if I came up with Ebony Wafers What is with the 'white' lingo in these products
Instant heaven. Microwave. Hot fudge sauce. Graham crackers. Smear hot fugde on cracker. Microwave for about 10 seconds. YUMMY
I myself am of the belief that there are two food groups. Chocolate and everything else. Or maybe three with coffee and number three.
Black men. I cannot properly convey the terror they experience in words.
Quote:
Farmer's markets. White people love farmer's markets, in part, because it allows them to venture into the city during daylight hours when there is less of a chance of a Negro attacking them.
Not liking Black people? Not even me?
I'm Black and I like Farmer's Markets. Better food there. And why do you feel the need to use an antiquated racial term?
White people like ginger ale. Black people like Sprite.
White people count calories but don't know what calories are. Black people don't count calories and don't care.
White people eat sushi. Black people good food.
I'm Black and..
-I like sushi. I love it. I try to eat it whenever I can
-I like ginger ale. It was my Black family who got me into it. Nothing says a good splurge like ginger ale with cheesecake.
-I do try to watch what I eat. I have my splurges, but I make sure to have healthy food. I don't deep fry chicken.
-I like to ride bicycles. I've even been in a race.
-I like hiking, swimming, and rock climbing.
The link that you sent me, I'm Black and I like alot of things from that link. I like the World Cup, picking my own fruit, Raybans, vespas(can't afford one though), Bob Marley, sea salt(I have it at home), etc.
- Black men. I cannot properly convey the terror they experience in words.
Not particularly, and if I can grill and drink beer with them not much is more fun then that black or white.
- Being the objects of humor. Yes, they've heard and even indulged in humor about other groups, but when the humor is pointed back upon them, they cannot be offended fast enough. Tell a joke about white people and watch the righteous indignation rise as thick as steam into the atmosphere.
Let me put it this way, I am Italian American and I make mob jokes, nuff said.
- Taxes. White people hate taxes. They think those taxes are going to poor black people who spend it on crack and Colt 45 and rap music.
I think everyone hates taxes, and while I cannot say I knew anyone who has done crack, back in college most of the folks who drank Colt 45 and listened to rap were about as white as you could get.
- Foreign languages. They're confusing to American white people and it makes them feel out of the loop. I really should have "being out of the loop" as a separate dislike, but I'll just stick it here.
This is true.
- Mean people. In fact, some have gone so far as to have, "Mean people s*ck" made into a bumper sticker. Many a therapy session has been scheduled just to help white people deal with a mean person in their lives who is just, like, totally ruining their lives.
Also true
Thinking back to a couple weeks ago when a non-white wondered what a birthday party put on by white folks would be like, I think it appropriate to explain more about what makes white people tick. As a white person for several decades, I believe myself up to the task. Let's start with their likes.
These are things that your average white person really likes:
- Sit-down chain restaurants on Friday nights. It's like a suburban white meat temple at your local Chili's or Applebee's on a Friday night. Yes, the food is terrible, but you can practically suck in the stale whiteness that will warm your white soul in such places.
- Farmer's markets. White people love farmer's markets, in part, because it allows them to venture into the city during daylight hours when there is less of a chance of a Negro attacking them.
- Cargo shorts. White people love cargo shorts in the summer months. If you see a white man under the age of 50 who is wearing shorts other than cargo shorts in July, call me immediately.
- Mad Men. Now that we all have cable, Mad Men is "must-see" television for white people. It harkens back to an era when white people were at the top of their games.
- Minivans. Ask yourself this, if you had 2.3 white children, would a four-door sedan be large enough for all 3.3 or 4.3 of you to go to the youth soccer game? Of course not.
- Oprah. White women love Oprah. In the same way Bill Clinton was the first black president, Oprah is the first honorary white person.
- Self-help books. White people simply have more challenges and obstacles than everyone else. Fortunately, there are people out there who have most of the solutions to their problems, and they've written it all down, which leads me to...
- Kindles. White people love Kindles. It's like a book, but even better because there are buttons and stuff.
- Pets. White people accumulate pets like toads accumulate warts. It's a proven fact. Look it up in whogo's science book.
- Motorcycles. Middle-aged white men love motorcycles so much, they will even put on black leather chaps, bandanas and shave their arms just to have the pleasure of riding a crappy piece of machinery from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with only two wheels.
- Guns. White people love guns. This is mostly because white people believe it be self-evident that criminals will want to target them before any other groups.
- Closure. When something bad happens, from a death in the family all the way down to the pineapple upside down cake that didn't turn out, you will frequently hear white people speak of the need to have "closure."
What white people don't like:
- Black men. I cannot properly convey the terror they experience in words.
- Being the objects of humor. Yes, they've heard and even indulged in humor about other groups, but when the humor is pointed back upon them, they cannot be offended fast enough. Tell a joke about white people and watch the righteous indignation rise as thick as steam into the atmosphere.
- Taxes. White people hate taxes. They think those taxes are going to poor black people who spend it on crack and Colt 45 and rap music.
- Foreign languages. They're confusing to American white people and it makes them feel out of the loop. I really should have "being out of the loop" as a separate dislike, but I'll just stick it here.

You mean like Osama bin Laden? He was a "white" man. LOL
I like Sprite and good fried chicken, NO sushi for me. LOL
Only girly men eat sushi.
