I told you, I'm not familiar enough with kool aid. I would probably say red, but thats the only one I can really remember having.

Seriously though, this is getting to be ridiculous. Black folks can't just claim all the good stuff. If we lose beer and pizza I'm gonna be pissed. White people get the crappiest stereotypes, like mayo. Disgusting.

LOL. Busted!!!! :p Nah, seriously, "red" obviously isn't a flavor. It is a color. When asked what your favorite flavor is, it's funny when certain folks respond with "red."

Beer and pizza are way too mainstream America for it to be given to blacks. I'd rather blacks get spinach and ricotta pasta--okay, that's just me. :) I love mayo!!! You suck, dude.

Mayo is so white. I like to stereotype Canadians as having a ridiculous obsession with mayo, but whether there is any truth to it, who knows. I won't let the facts get in the way, however.

I don't blame people for saying "red" when asked about a flavor. I know that is often considered a black cultural thing, but what the hell else can you call it? What about the neon green stuff? Antifreeze flavor? Plus, it probably has a really lame name like "passionfruit sunset apple twistation" that no self-respecting young man would ever use in conversation.

On another note...speaking of seafood...I had to go to the wharf today and pick up a dungeoness(sp?) crab to fix for dinner....yummmy.


I effing love that joint!

SWTXBelle 02-18-2008 04:46 PM

Ohhhhh . . . one of the worst parts of being in TN is that they think catfish is seafood. I miss REALLY fresh shrimp, and red snapper, and crab . . .

I love Kool-aid - Lemon/Lime. (That's what we called it growing up)

I hate mayo, 'cept in deviled eggs and Gamma Phi dip.

I think the site could have been funny, but failed.

Never let the facts get in the way. That's no fun. Mayo is very white but you can mix it with mustard to make it yellow. Who knows if that would change things.

Every pack has a flavor. LOL. I believe red is cherry and purple is grape but that doesn't stop people from saying "red" and "purple." There was no neon green in the stereotypically black households of the 1970s and 1980s when this stereotype picked up. :)

Be a man and make yourself some mangopineappletastic fruitalicious kool aid!!!

Sidebar: There is actually a "kool aid cult" and kool aid was founded in 1927. Interesting kinda.

Question for black folks, if there wasn't the history involved with the watermelon and fried chicken stereotype, would it be funny? Well, maybe not funny, but if the history and negative (I guess?) connotation wasn't there, would it still be offensive? The same question could go to Jewish people and profession stereotypes, etc.

Basically, is it the stereotype itself, or the pattern and tone of usage?

My mother refused to eat watermelon because of the streotype associated with it. :( I would eat it, but not around white folx.

When I went off to college at a small predominately Baptist university, it had a tradition of having a freshman welcoming event called The Watermelon Fest.
At first I was uncomfortable, but soon I realized hey these folx love watermelon and so do I--no big deal.

What's Gamma Phi dip? I'll bet it's good!

SWTXBelle 02-18-2008 07:46 PM

Gamma Phi Dip
 
Equal parts mayo, artichokes and parmesian cheese. Blend it all together, heat it up (browned on top) and eat with Ritz crackers. Yummmmmmm...

srmom 02-18-2008 07:48 PM

I've got to say that some of those entries were pretty spot on, and hilarious.

I really liked the one about "gifted kids".

If the kid is in trouble in school all the time, it's because they are too smart for boring school. Hee! I heard that alot from moms whose kids were terrors!

Hmmm...that reminds me of this old chestnut


What is the difference between Tom Earp and a hoe?

At least a hoe gets paid for showing her @ss off...

Scandia 02-18-2008 08:29 PM

I do not think any of these things are liked exclusively by white people.

If it were the other way around- writing about "stuff (people of another race) like", there would be an uproar. Unfair double standard.

Upon careful reflection on this very sensitive topic, I have decided to offer this observation:

Red and purple make so much sense as flavor names because the favors associated with the words on the package, like cherry and grape, have absolutely no relationship to what cherries or grapes actually taste like.

So very true. And if I went around talking about cherry Kool Aid, I'd get weird looks, so why bother with that? :rolleyes:

macallan25 02-18-2008 09:20 PM

I just made grape Kool - Aid. It's the shit.

Dude, you guys already got beer. Actually, microbreweries too!

My most recent ex was Canadian, well I guess he still is. Ooooooooooooooh, he loved mayo.

Do you like your Kool Aid really sweet and potent or watery and bland.

(another test)

UGAalum94 02-18-2008 10:18 PM

I'm a fan of Sugar Free Tang; sometimes, I alternate it with Crystal Lite Sunriser in Orange. I'm not sure exactly what this says about my demographics.

I like it concentrated enough that I can put ice in it and melting ice will not dilute the orange-y goodness, so potent from the above choices.

I believe these beverage options increase my general quality of life, as does Diet Pepsi.

The Crystal Lite Strawberry-Orange-Whatever flavor is pretty much awesome; I can't believe there's not sugar in that stuff!

And yeah, I go through some serious quantities of generic diet soda ... :o

I like my purple drank sweet and potent.

That shouldn't even be a question.

Who drinks watery and bland Kool Aid? And why?

White people (how's that for turning the hijack OT?) :p

Seriously, though, I remember going to friends houses as a child and being disgusted when their "koolaid" was about 1/2 as sugary as the stuff at my house (and my mom just followed the sugar recommendation on the packet). I think the people who make it this way don't realize that if you want to drink something healthier than koolaid, you shouldn't just water koolaid down. I also visited houses where they served watered down juice -- no joke.

Ok..so what's the deal with co ed sports

I don't know...

But can I ask another question?

What is the point of laying on the ground w/o a blanket?

Senusret I 02-19-2008 10:47 AM

ALL the white people I knew in college laid on blankets or beach towels in the grass.

Do they ever have class outside at black schools?

nope....not really...but to be truthful, from most of what I have seen...get a warm day (warm being a relative term) and people will sit or lay right out on the grass at the drop of a hat...

Give it a real warm and beautiful day and students will skip class altogether--at HBCUs and PWIs. :)

Yes. It was big when I was in college but I saw some college students doing it the other day.

At Morgan, we had an out door class when it got warm...we call it Bridgeology...mostly freshmen get caught up in it unfortunatly....you don't get a grade for it but you went in modest amounts....too much Bridgeology caused people to fail..heheheh
