Pantera is St Louis Bread Co's name he puts on his resume so it doesn't land in the trash.
What's up with black people giving other black people a hard time about doing well in school? Way back in high school and now in college I had several friends tell me they were always catching shit for "acting white" because they sat in the front of class and well, I don't know, didn't hang with the guys who made this shit up? I could never make sense of it, and I just saw it happen to two guys in one of my college classes. I get the picking on the nerd thing, but this specifically is purely racially motivated, and obviously it bothers these guys and I'm not in any position to give advice on the subject...
lmao im so confused yet intrigued
I'm making a real stretch of a joke about Panera which is St Louis Bread Co in St Louis but Panera everywhere else. This joke isn't for other people to laugh at its just for me to laugh at.

The women over here smell like coconut. As if they all use the same cream or shampoo. I was just wondering if that's a thing.
Smells good tho.

Jealously and envy really, especially from those who came from rougher backgrounds, very sad mentality.
Oh, coconut oil? It's pretty good.
I think I read an article about this. It posited that this phenomenon stems from a frustration of not being able to be black and successful. Many black people feel like they have to make a choice of one or the other; that if they choose to embrace their blackness--their names, their cultures, their hair, the way they talk, or dress, etc.--it will be much harder to be successful. They may get tripped up in a world of constant code-switching, or run into strange dress codes or regulations that target their natural hairstyles, or find themselves getting more callbacks for job offers when they stop using their first name "LeDarius" and start using their middle name "James."
Giving peers shit in school for succeeding comes from the other side of that coin: by choosing to be successful, some perceive that to mean one has chosen to forsake their blackness. They say you've sold out, or you're acting white. It's a pushback against assimilation, against a pressure to stay inside the lines, to not be "too black" (or rather too "threatening"). So when those people see someone willingly going along with that, they either shake their heads in shame or give that person a hard time.
I live in Minnesota, and I've been called an Oreo and all that kind of shit early on in school (even by some white friends...). But growing up with a lot of those same peers, there were times when we were older where there was a mutual (and uncomfortable) understanding that we were in awkward social positions from both sides. And I've felt this same frustration myself. So while I think giving someone shit for trying to be successful is pretty shitty, I understand where that comes from.
lol *shrug* I'm waiting to find out what myself
i'll check back for when the host returns.
*seeing fuckery brewing*
now don't ya'll go ahead and turn this into another gaf "why do black people..." thread now.

Is your affinity towards chicken, fried in particular, racial or cultural?
All I know is that people on both sides never believe we're black initially

My love of Popeyes is a genetic predisposition, apparently.
For non-fiction, I'd recommend Ta-Nehisi Coates. For fiction, I've been reading A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon Jones and it is fantastic.
Negative thirty-seven.

Next question, is ODB the most ratchet person in the history of rap?
What is this? Lol
Is this the answer?

That boy invented ratchet.
It's a video of Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah scolding another rapper.

When I die, I'll have Popeyes and Texas Pete buried alongside with me.

In some meme images I have seen a distinction between light and dark skin as a signifier of some trait (personality, behavior, what have you), but I have never been able to figure out whether there is an actual pattern to it. Is there, for example, some perception that darker skin makes you more "black" culture-wise or something similar?
Totally serious question, btw,
Totally serious question, btw,
I've never found it true in my experience. I've know light-skin gangbangers and I've known dark dudes that were kinda nerdy, always into that the whole weeaboo lifestyle. We're all one people, some just can't realize it.

It's not like I have this innate desire to say it. It's also not that big of a deal to just not quote the Boondocks. Just wondering what proper Boondocks quoting etiquette is.
