Ha. I’m guilty of this. But it’s because I spent my all of adult life in SoCal and almost never wore shoes. (Yes, I had a job where I could wear sandals.) Now that I live in Wisconsin, it’s hard to break the habit and actually put on shoes. I hate shoes.

Yeah, but I’m sure if someone made a list entitled “What Black People Like”, it would not be taken lightly. Moreover, I absolutely hate the way it is OK for everyone to make fun of white people and it is in bad taste to make fun of anyone else.
Since the internet is a pretty anonymous way to communicate, I think “What Black People Like” probably would have been tolerated.
This “Stuff White People Like” doesn’t attack white people for bad things other people who happen to be white have done.
Sure, a “Stuff Black People Like” wouldn’t be taken well if the list had Crack, Welfare, and other bad stereotypes but it probably would have been accepted if the list contained things like “The Jeffersons” and “Baggy Jeans.”
You could have also put up a “Stuff White People Like” list that included serial killers, Christian fanaticism, and other bad stereotypes about whites.
But even if the “Stuff Black People Like” was done in the most racist way possible or done in a somewhat tasteful way, it still wouldn’t be as funny as “Stuff White People Like” no matter what your views are. The “Stuff White People Like” is new and kind of refreshing. I’m tired of people making fun of black, asian, and latino stereotypes because the joke is old. But making fun of how predictable white people are is a new, funny joke. Think about it: all the people you know who own “Performance Outdoor Aparrel” who only step outside to get in their car. (They’re white)
Nonsense, black comedians have been doing this for years. It’s old too.

I was thinking the same thing. Eddie Murphy was making fun of white people back in the early 80s.

Actually, Richard Pryor before him, Red Foxx, Rudy Ray Moore, etc. It’s always been “open humor season” on white people and that’s ok, as long as it works both ways…but we both know it does not because of the likes of Al Sharpton and his cronies. I remember when that fool used to sport a jerry curl and track suits and now he tries to be all dignified.

Correct. I always say, stereotypes aren’t wrong, they’re just not always right.
not reading the rest of the thread but i’ll go ahead and say
opression
everything about black-american culture.
(except the being black part)

I’m ok with it as long as its truly done as a joke, and its mutual.
But hey, slavery is one helluva 300yr punchline… so don’t get offended if you have a few comedians poke at you.

You bring up a good point. Makes me wonder if Jewish standups during Biblical times told Egyptian jokes.

Richard Pryor was the first to REALLY dog white people. He was a pioneer. But he also dogged women, other black men, the police, and himself.
He’s gonna die soon, but that man is awesome. If you can download one of his old albums, you will be laughing hard.

Richard Pryor is already dead, too bad, he was really funny.
My favorite act of his:

I wonder what Moses said when he parted the Red Sea.
OK. The making fun of white people thing has been done. I just didn’t think it had been done like this. Whatever. It’s still funny.

This is the funniest racial comedy I have seen since Dave Chappelle’s heyday on the Comedy Channel. I can see how rural whites might miss the punchline though because these stereotypes fit white yuppies mostly.
…“borderline gay shit”
Telling skinny bitches they’re fat…
Black people that white people like
