I was called a honkey once.

I was told I can't play the blues cause I'm white.

I was told I can't play bass cause i'm white.

I was.... even called... a cracker.

I think theGrio is only for news involving African Americans.

 

[chi-town_mike]

Well....

Bad joke has twist ending....

Crap.

 

[Strat-Mangler]

You forgot that blacks can never be racist.

And of course, that would conveniently be ignored by the inappropriately-named Dr Cheese.

Never seen somebody lose an argument so quickly in my life. lol!

 

[chi-town_mike]

To be fair. These accusations were at a blues club.

But one thing I AM proud of ( and yes I know prides a sin ) .

This one time at band camp.... no no no...

This one time at said blues club. I was sitting in onstage. just before the show started, and an audience memer was talking to the drummer about something. Said drummer is kinda like a spiritual guidance counceler on the scene. Our local buddha, sorta kinda. Everybody has great respect for the guy is what I'm trying to say..

And pretty danged loudly the guy tells the audience member that he may be white on the outside, but " Is as black as I am! "

Made me feel all warm inside.

I rubbed his head for good luck once.

I ended up getting lucky 10 days straight in a tour in Key West.

Start your own website to tell stories about white folks. Although to my knowledge, there is not a cool English word for a storyteller who maintains the oral tradition of a village or family. All I could come up with was history professor. Nowhere near as cool as griot.

Start a website for whitey..... yeah, lets see how long that lasts!

www.whitey.com are you proud to be white in secret? Does a 2 inch vertical not bother you? Do you put cover sheets on your TPS reports? Then go to whitey.com and let it out!

I give this thread 3 more minutes.

I give this thread 3 more minutes.

Why? I don't see anything posted in here that would warrant a thread closure.

Raconteur fits, more or less.

Of course, given the general IQ of this thread, I wouldn't expect to see it here.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

That's it. I'm officially butthurt.

Being from Georgia, I've never taken offense at that term.

[BassyBill]

I think seeing prejudice where there is none is dumb. But that definitely includes the "Oh, aren't we poor white folks misjudged, discriminated against and denied a voice these days?" silliness.
