Educated Blacks Also Fair Game for Satire
<
Like any good meme, the trend of what certain kinds of people like/dislike is spreading like wildfire.
Thus, I give you: Stuff Educated Black People Like.
This site makes me laugh big time… at myself.
(That is, when I’m not laughing at White people. The latest one to slay me: #88, Outdoor Performance Clothes.)
But seriously, this site may be illuminating to many White folks who know Educated Black People (EBP) because it puts into a context some of the deeper reasons why we tend to enjoy:
- Neo Soul
- Baked Chicken
- Business Cards
- Poetry Slams
- Talking About Uneducated Black People
And much, much more.
What’s really interesting to me is examining all the intersections between the two sites. There are a lot of commonalities, actually — Barack Obama, for example. Or how Atlanta is the new Canada.
(Bonus points for whoever designed the masthead image to StuffEducatedBlackPeopleLike, which I’ve included at the top of this post. Besides being identical in style and form to the original and their overt comparison in the “About” section, you’ll notice a small tribute in the form of a picture of some Black folks in a fraternity step show. In the background is some kind of poster ad — for sushi. Classic.) ]]>
