Are there any slurs you guys find humorous? I mean it's terrible but I can't help but chuckle (and then feel bad) at some of the old timey slurs.

"Porch Monkey" has increased in hilarity tenfold thanks to Clerks 2
I was joking, mocking the weekly "why America is behind the rest of the world" thread.
My favorite one is Canadians being code for blacks.
code for dont come in looking like a crip/blood/other.
spooks. some woman(not old, mind you) called me that and i just hardcore laughed in her face. the look of embarrassment on her face was so damn beautiful i almost felt bad.

Guy's right. That hairstyle is natural with the growth of mulatto chicks. Black women's hair doesn't grow like that.

First time I heard that term was in Tales From The Hood when the racist Senator was shooting at the possessed dolls that were attacking him. It caught me off guard and I broke out laughing.

The first time I had ever heard that word was in "White Chicks," and I had no idea until now it was considered a slur.

Was wondering if I could get black gafs (actually anyone) view on this topic.
Me and a friend were talking about current TV shows and we both noticed a significant increase in shows regarding British culture and pre-immigration history. We have a lot of shows such as Downtown Abbey which that look at the early 20th century. These shows used to have a moderate niche, mainly with the older crowd but they've exploded in popularity at the moment and have reached mainstream audiences. I've looked around and it seems like the same thing is happening across W. Europe.
He was saying the reason for this is because they do not want to have any black actors (or minorities) on tv. Well not so much from the directors part but the majority want to see white people on tv. His point was the 'loophole' against getting minorities is by setting shows in the past, basically a time where there weren't any and it wouldn't be seen as racist.
My argument was that it's not really a race thing but more of a cultural thing. In the UK at the moment, quite a lot of British people (rightfully or wrongly) feel their culture is being diluted/diminished. These shows hark back to a period when it was at its high and people like to see that. It also just seems like a trend. A few years ago we had a ton of vampire shows (Twilight) and a few years before that, school musical things (High School Musical).
Just wanted to see what do you guys think about this? Something similar happening in the US?
Yeah but there's an alternative that is just as if not more sexy to me.

Clubs want to attract a certain clientele after all. I know many clubs that only allow black, dress shoes.
Also as I a white dude, I love the hair style of the chicks in this page (loose afro). If any girl can pull it off, they should do it, and ditch the weaves.

The part in the video for Fallen when she's in the bathtub=time to break out the lotion.
Why do my reference CDs keep popping up on GAF?

The My Love Is Like Whoa video rocked my mind when it came out.
So what is Black GAF's view of Santa Claus? My wife works in a predominately black school and says mostly all of her black co-workers don't tell their kids about him because they don't want someone else taking the credit for presents they bought. I found this hard to believe until a co-worker of mine echoed that same thought saying "I work hard for what I got!"
Coon/coonery has provided many laughs for me and my friends. Thanks, Spike Lee! lol
My word, she is absolutely beautiful. I should know this, but what's her name?
And cosign with everyone that the loose afro is pretty much the best hairstyle. It's one of my biggest weakness with women.

When I have kids, unless the other parent is adamant on worshiping Santa Claus, I probably won't go that route. I'll have to correct enough of their crazy ideas without feeding them bullshit like Santa Claus and religion.

i only knew
juneteenth and the dice...
my view... why start off raising your kids telling them lies? and from what i've seen lately, it's not so much that they don't want santa taking credit, but it's more of a "you better behave if you want me to get you nice stuff for christmas" thing.

I never cared about santa clause so I won't bother teaching my kids about him or playing along. If my would-be wife wants to do that then it's fine by me.
I stopped believing in Santa early, so it never mattered much to me.
Thought so. I was certain I knew who that was. Just didn't recognize her for some reason. Probably cause it's the first time I've seen her with that hair/not in a suit. lol

It's not so much about being a lie. It's fun. When you are a kid, it's pretty exciting and fun. Why would you remove that experience from your children? It's just a white lie after all. Plus it's fun to see them figure out that Santa is not real as they grow older.

Why can't more black women just go more natural like this instead of perming their hair 24/7 or getting a weave. Like if a study was done I would bet about 85%(probably higher) of all black women either get a weave/wig or perm their hair to be straight. Keep it natural girls!
And Janelle Monae is my future wife. In my dreams

Truth.
I remember back when I sprinted, that shit would be all over the track. We would be like, "damn, yall running out your weaves. Slow the hell down or start buying that Indian quality." Ah, good times.
