Btw just finished reading jack johnson: unforgivable blackness and dude is officially my hero. his balls mustve been made of titanium, and i actually had some tears streaming down my face at the end when his wife said:
'He faced the world unafraid. there wasnt anybody or anything he feared'

Real talk, I've seen this shit like this go down at Church's Chicken. Everybody working there was black and they all came to the front to laugh about a guy ordering chicken while high. Even the manager came to the front and start joking with everybody.
Sorry we spoke out of turn, we will just keep our collective head down and keep on keeping on.

I don't understand this at all. Why is it so funny he's high?

Hah, I was tooling around an Omaha mall with a friend while a bit under the influence, and I ducked into the bathroom behind a large group of black dudes who were pretty obviously doing what I was gonna do (ie, get even more under the influence). Everyone of them laughed at my post intake red eyes, using almost the same exact words in the picture. They also dubbed me mr tightpants lol

were you wearing skinny jeans at the time?

Even worse, skinny pants.
Probably, but its funny how white cashiers will pretend everything is A-OK when there have been times in college I could barely open my eyes at the register. Black dudes just laugh about it and make fun of it, and I like that. One time I was leaving a friends house stone out of my gourd and a car of black dudes rolled up laughing and asking us where to buy some weed. I thought I was hallucinating for a few minutes.

Isn't justjohn in the UK?
I come off stronger than I did before because I'm too lazy to be long-winded about things... But if it had been a homosexual joke in a thread made by gaygaf, then the poster would've been nuked from orbit. No mod contact necessary.
Instead, we've had to put up with Shan, casual racism, willful ignorance, convenient denial, and drive by posters dropping bullshit like "rap culture" in almost every thread where black people are mentioned.
I just think its hilarious that I get labeled for not explaining things and telling people to look up their own shit but in the same thread I sit down and tutor some people on how Rap is a byproduct of a situation, not the creator. They didn't even bother replying either.
Also, that woman was exploited. And I said as much in my 2nd post - but watch as no one will even bring it up again.
theres a difference?

Don't make me get all manshion on you
DY I get you, and I'm not disagreeing. Geh sometimes I just wish the OT was closed to new threads for like a week sometimes.
DY, I really didn't get why you got up in a tizzy in this thread.
Was it because you thought Gaborn was using that particular subject to make a point from this previous thread?
I know people often want to create parallels between the black community and any other struggle that's occured, sometimes it comes off particullarly insensitive. But I don't think that thread was the case.
Maybe the intent of the thread was pretty sketchy considering the OP and you were having a discourse in another thread. I mean it would have been less sketchy had it been early trailblazer in general, rather than the telescopic focus on one particular group.
In any case, I don't think Gaborn did anything really out of line and was just curious at why you had such issue with the thread.

as a stoner myself, it's always funny to poke fun at high people.
Before I posted in that thread, it was ignored by damn near everyone on GAF. Especially by the people here. I don't want to be further labeled as 'the voice of blackgaf', because I'm not - I'm just the last vocal member apparently. Look back a couple of pages and take note of all the people who just steer clear of the entire topic altogether. That's only a fraction of those who just stopped give a fuck completely. Don't even touch on the fact that this woman was exploited, that's above the issue at hand. Just ask them why they don't even feel like letting people know why certain threads rub them the wrong way.
Gaborn admitted himself that he was worried that the thread would ruffle feathers and Count knew right off the bat that the idea of posting it just sounded bad.

Ok Black-GAF, test time;
You're at the family reunion/cookout/get together. Just had a delicious meal fit for a king, the aunts and uncles are all talking about routes home from work in the living room and the little children are downstairs breaking your shit. You and your cousins/brothers need something to do. Quiz time, do you pull out the:
A) Spades (cards, i guess)
or
B) Dominoes
Choose wisely lest your black card be revoked!
Correct answer?

Spades, you fool! Unless you only got 3 people or playing for money then Dominoes is acceptable.

With my fam get-togethers (huge family) when the 16-25 year olds get bored we pull out the cards or the ps3/xbox and have some amazing madden/fifa sessions.
The xbox solves all.

Well if this gets your black-card taken I'll have to turn mine in. I've only played dominoes once and spades never.

Same. I prefer to pull out the xbox.
Dominoe's is best with a 4 person + group...
But I got to admit, I've never really done family reunions... much... usually just unannounced drop by's would constitute as a reunion with a specific family member... and generally growing up unannounced visits happened every month....

haha, I was just joking. Monopoly always starts out fun then turns around pretty quickly.
Videogames, movies, or UNO is what we usually end up doing.

For real though...I've stolen wins from people in Monopoly thanks to taking early control of the Orange spaces. Top-tier strats.

there are two things that i know will ruin relationships. monopoly and mario party. there is some deep seated evil in those.
id rather play a two hour game of uno.
Bring it!
that game is only really fun if you know the people youre playing with. if not, you have to honestly think about the answers.
Bring it!
Only acceptable as a drinking game. Otherwise i feel like a 5 year old.

I always go for absurdity, and if people don't get it that's their problem.
Usually there is at least one other person taking it as silly as you are, and will laugh at the stupidity of the things you match up and vice versa.
I can't imagine playing this when not drunk.
Thats how i was introduced to the game freshman year and i thought it was the most juvenile game ever.
It was waaay more fun once i made alcohol involved.

It takes too long, and most of my fam start to cheat after a while..

lol. It doesn't even take being drunk. Renigging will have people sleeping on the couch. Although strategic renigging is a valuable tool as long as you don't get caught...

Most definitely is. Unfortunately, 90% of the time I've played it was against people that actually payed attention to where the books fell...and could count cards...
