I don't know if I've ever posted in a BlackGAF thread before, but I figured I'd give it a shot since the Gaming side is still in mid-NPD orgasm.

Where you're from- Tacoma, WA. City of Destiny, baby.
Where you live- Same.
Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy- All I know is my mom's family is from Omaha, NE, and that I'm 1/16th Japanese. Which isn't enough to actually tell the ratchets that I'm full Japanese, so whatever.
Do you know your roots- That was a good show back in the day. :p
Your Age- 23
Favorite musical genre- Hip-Hop
Your profession/major/career interest- Musician
Your religious affiliation- If there was a religion that involved food & beautiful women, I would join it. Otherwise, none.
Hobbies- Gaming, Reading, Spending 10+ hours in a metal booth at school while I try to find the perfect beat & rhymes.

I decided attempted to show Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America to my girlfriend last night. She couldn't take his humor or realness. Asked to put on something else... :/

No matter how many times I see it, it's still funny and brutally honest as hell. I love it.

I know you paid your taxes though.
But let's see. Popeyes, or KFC?
El Debarge or Howard Hewett?
Scrapple or pork brains?
Sugar grits or Butter and salt grits?
Moons over MyHammy or Smothered and Covered?

Homie.

That's like asking me to choose between Tupac & Biggie.

Halle Berry & Kerry Washington

Beyoncé's ass & J. Lo's ass.

Why devote yourself to one when you can enjoy both? Nah, I'm bi-chicken, homie.

As long as it ain't Church's...

El Debarge or Howard Hewett?

Debarge.

Pepper. Get sugar the fuck away from my grits.

Asking someone to choose between Popeyes and KFC is like asking someone to choose between a PS4 and a Phantom.

Basically the way I can compare Ping Pong anime is that the animation and the theme behind the main character Smile is really similar to how FLCL (animation) and Slam Dunk (story, pacing, dialogue) was done. The art direction (believe it or not it was done by one of the artists of Rayman Legends) is very top notch, especially when it hits the bizarre route. Dialogue between Smile, his friend Peco and a lot of other people are handled really well.

So many truth bombs in one article:

I have to say, I don't really care about Jen Selter. She is a blip. What I'm sick of is black beauty only being acceptable when white people start liking it–the mainstream only becoming comfortable with beauty in color when it's on a white body. We see this over and over with certain traits and aesthetics:

–Full lips: Remember when women started breaking down the doors of dermatology offices across America to get lip injections so they could emulate Angelina Jolie–ya know, the first beautiful woman on earth with thick lips?

–Nail art: Which used to be considered "hood" or "ghetto" and now we have Lauren Conrad giving nail art tutorials on her pastel, country club explosion of a lifestyle blog.

–Hair extensions: Newsflash: At this point, 97% of white women on the red carpet are wearing them too, boo.

–Cornrows: Which we now know to be a brand new trend created by Kylie/Karlie/whatever Jenner.

And these are just things that I'M aware as a black woman. I don't doubt that the list is much longer.

All this is is some Christoper Columbus shit: White people thinking that simply because they just discovered something, it must be new. Which in and of itself wouldn't be all the way terrible if they didn't insist on completely erasing women of color from depictions of beauty. So as long as they continue to try to lighten up history, I will continue to remind you of the truth. Don't you forget it.

Heya Black gaf.

What ya been watching as of late?
Click to expand...

Mad Men/GoT back.

Catching up on Falling Skies.

Slaving to Supernatural, even though it isn't good anymore.

Enjoying Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D becoming enjoyable instead of embarrassing.

Slowly working through the 2nd season of House of Cards, but it's nowhere near as good as the first season.

Still Watching Grimm, it's fun.

Watching Once Upon a Time and Revolution.. I don't know why. I'm ashamed.
