The Black Card?
 

Some posts over at DST have me thinking about this...what are the things that would cause one to lose their "Black Card" indefinitely? Can be serious or light-hearted...the post over at DST had me rolling (I would surely cite it but alas, I am too lazy to go search, lol :p )

We might have to ask Wayne Brady.... :p


1. Not liking any type of chicken ;)
2. Not viewing the following "The Color Purple" or "Boyz N Da Hood"
3. Never tasting Kool-Aid
4. Not having ANY relatives who are experts (or past experts) in one of the following Crown Royal, E & J or the electric slide.

I may have to watch his talk show this fall, because so many people say this about him. *lol* :p

I've been told..............
 

Not knowing how to play spades.

I'm so tired of getting the look of death when I state "I can't play because I don't know how". :eek: :o People have tried to teach me, but I'm like eveybody has their own rules. I can't be bothered. Let's not forget how serious people can get about this game. I've seen tables get broken over it. I'll pass on all that fun and excitement. :rolleyes:

How about not knowing how to play dominos:confused:
Not liking Greens (any kind)
not liking okra and cabbage

Yeah not knowing how to play spades is an automatic revocation of the Black/Soul Card!

Also hating sweet potatoes! I do NOT like them in any way, shape or form. My grandmother asked me "are you sure you are one of us?"

Do NOT even get me started about getting my card revoked for being a hockey fan! I loved hockey LONG before being married to a Canadian! :p

Re: I've been told..............
 

omg...lol...I started the topic so I am not gonna trip, lol. But in the South you might get kicked out of a party for not knowing how to play spades, lol.

I think

1. not knowing how to dance/ or have rhythm
2. changing your face(ask Michael Jackson:P)
3. If you talk "proper" as they say down South. Basically if you sound like an airhead or Alicia Silverstone in Clueless..like gag me with a spoon....lol

Seriously, their are many faces of black folk. That's why I love our culture because it is so unique. Our ability to blend into other cultures and make it our own makes the black card the only soul card to carry.**raising my fist**

Peace from Soul Sista #1

Don't get me started about talking proper :rolleyes: If I had a dollar for every time I was dissed I would retire by now!
And when G-d gave black folx rhythm, I was SO passed over!

But I have only one thing to say to your post besides:

Re: I've been told..............
 

I already had to snatch three cards this summer for this very reason!

Re: I've been told..............
 

Sis I am right w/ you on that one! I tell people Sorry I aint that Black..lol ;)

I guess I'm not black enough according to some of you all's standards. :( Jill, were we separated from birth? ;)

I'll take a shot:

1.You don't know the electric slide.

2.You dye your hair blonde.

3.You dislike chicken, especially wings.

4.You dislike kool-aide.

5.You can't double dutch.

6.Not supporting affirmative action (I'm dead serious about this one).

7.You listen to country-western music.

Hey! What about the vegetarians:rolleyes: :D

Judging by most lists I guess West Indians ain't black. Oh well, we shall survive, lol.

Vegetarians are black... umm... some of our ANCESTORS were vegetarians before they were FORCED to eat hogmaws, pig ears, chittlens and all them other nasty pork foods. I want to be vegan one day and I want someone to try to pull my black card...

Onethe real, we are such a diverse group of people (be you from the islands or not) that there really isn't too many things that will revoke one's black card. The only person who that has PUBLICLY done something to get their black card revoked would be:

THE ULTIMATE UNCLE TOM-ASS Clarence Thomas

Anyone else who hates being black and denounces being African, Black or Afro American gets their card pulled too.

you are an absolute fooo!!!

bwahahahahaaha!!!!!!!

Outside of the Northeast, I don't think many black girls double dutch. Since I've been in Florida, I haven't met one person who can double dutch who isn't originally from the Northeast. Maybe it's a regional thing.

Some others:

1. You don't know who Alex Haley, Kunta Kente, or Kizzy is
2. "You told Harpo to beat me" rings absolutely no bells for you
3. You can eat potato salad without finding out who made it first
4. You don't know the origin of the phrase "you go girl!"

The only thing that can get your card pulled in my book is being damn near afraid of other black people.

You know this Negro. The one who always eyes you furtively when they see you out and then runs away and talks to their white friends all night, rather pointedly ignoring you whenever confronted with your presence in public. Of course then there's also the one who will talk to you when it is just the two of you, but as soon as their paler friends come along they can not even remember your name.

I always wonder if those people think that the rest of us are going to attack them or what, like we carry around black power parapanelia or something. Like I'm going to attack them with a daishiki?:rolleyes: After an hour we will have them at the next black-people-meeting, ranting about "the man" and listening to boring backpacker hip hop or WORSE, Master P.

LMBAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, get ready and yank my black card because I loathe greens, okra, cabbage and chitlins, for that matter. I also can't do dominos or spades.
:p

AND CTFU@ Soror lovelyivy84's post.

Add Uncle Ward Connerly to this list, too. :rolleyes:

I think we were definitely separated at birth!

And my grandmother thinks I am weird because I don't do chitlins or pigs feet....ewwww!

She cooks them damn things on New Years. I don't care HOW friggin cold it is, I leave the house when she puts them on the stove...and I stay out all day!

Oh yeah, not doing "the nod" when you see other black folx in the store! :D

In Canada and in Western Washington, I always do the nod and mouth "hi"...not many of us in the Pacific NW. Shocked to see there are 3 of "us" in my Alumnae Chapter.

Not recognizing any slang words, in a conversation and you are clueless. I don't result to slang but I understand

at the last smiley

I am TOO Black!!! lol
 

But I do NOT eat chitlins, greens, or other people's potato salad, play spades, dominoes or Tunk, and I have never seen The Color Purple.:p :p

Re: I am TOO Black!!! lol
 

oh dayum!!!

I remember when I found out my LS had never seen The Five Heartbeats but had seen Friday 50 11 times.

How did I forget about this one?

You will absolutely postively lose your black card if:

You got time-out instead of "whoopins" when you were a kid or you are planning on giving your future children time-outs instead of spankings.

What kind of discipline is time-out? :rolleyes:

Yoink! There goes my card... My mom would never spank me... she would just whisper in my ear that if she hit me...it would kill me... so it's best that i go to my room now. LOL! That sounds so funny now...but when i was a kid... that was all i needed to hear to straighten up.

Mine too. I don't have kids, but I suffered enough "butt heatings" as a child to know that I wouldn't want to do that to my own.

Here's one: if you don't know the place that has the best prices on hair for braids/ hair care products/and no-name cosmetics in your town. ;)

I hate to say it BUUTT...you lost your black card IF...especially back in the day.......maybe now:confused:

1. you dated/slept with/married/hung with white women/men
especially if you were a "black nationalists" hollering "black power"
2. dressed preppy..ya know argyle sweater, with the crisp white shirt and collar up, pants rolled at the bottom and the penny loafer fo' sho!

3. moved to the suburbs

4. didn't go to an all black high school/college

5. if you thought O.J. did it! (in my Ced the Entertainer voice) lololo

6. if you listened to heavy metal/ rock and roll (but I like system of a down :( )

7. didn't have a jherri curl (my black card went out the window...because no matter how bad I wanted one my momma wouldn't let me...she said I couldn't put that sloppy shut yo' mouth in my head....THANK-U MAMA!!! :D...kids listen to yo' mama!)lolol

shiiii....i WISHED we lived in the suburbs and i want my parents to move there NOW!!!. the streets is too real!

and can't nobody question my blackness and i didn't go to an all black high school or college. the magnet high school i attended was all-zones so we had some of everybody there and it actually made me appreciate my blackness even more. the same goes for the university i attended. for me, it wasn't about the black-college thing, it was about the whole ACCREDITED degree thing! :D

oh, and uh, o.j. DID IT!!!!!!!

Oh yeah trust me in some people's eyes, I lost mine for all the reasons stated above! :rolleyes: That's ok, I got a duplicate! :D

And no I do not plan on giving my kid azz whuppins...right now the look of death is all it takes! (My momma revoked my card for that one!)

This might make me lose my duplicate card but: WTF is Tunk?????

*swipe*

There goes my card. My son will get time outs. The most he will get is a smack on the back of his hand but no whuppins.

How about this. I DON'T LIKE HOT SAUCE ON EVERYTHING :o

I made fried chicken for my husband's friends and two of them asked me for hot sauce. You should have seen their faces when I said "I don't have any" When I order chicken wings from the chinese spot they always say "hot sauce on side?" and I'm like NO. They look at me crazy too. :confused:

Well...I can't stand hot sauges or chitlins or pig feet or souse..uhk:( and even though I only spoke "proper" English in front of my mother (who would correct me if I didn't)when I was younger, I was always accused of talking "white."

However, I can play Tunk, Spades, Deuce, Whist and I luuuv soul food...And In my opinion you get your black card revoked if...

1. You were never a member of a black chuch or church:) refer to the "You know your in a black church" post if you need clarification..
2. You don't know and/or like Tupac Shakur
3. You don't try to outdo others in fashion...even if it's church attire and in a lot of cases especially if it's church attire
4. You don't know anyone with the nickname Peewee, Pookie, Peanut, Kiki, Tay, Snoop, Lil _____, and Pooh.
5. You didn't sit at the "black lunch table" if you went to a predominately white school.
6. You don't find a single black person attractive. I knew a guy, lets call him Larry, we grew up together and when we reached highschool Larry died his hair blond, got blue contacts, and shopped exclusively at the GAP...Well my male friends thought he was going into a Gay And Proud transitions, especially since thats what our crowd called the GAP but it turns out he told a girlfriend of mine that he had embrace American culture and didn't find most black PEOPLE (although I think he specifically meant black women) attractive at all. Last I heard he's engaged or committed to some redhead. It's called self-hatred...Black card revoked.

DISCLAIMER: I do believe you love who you love, but this brother didn't even love his own skin color...there's a difference.

It sounds like "Larry" wouldn't give a rat's behind if his card was revoked - he didn't embrace/love himself in the first instance. A dayum shame I tell 'ya.

It may be a dayum shame, but frankly, who needs the "Larrys" of the world? I certainly wouldn't want someone like that in my life because I don't want a butt-whipping because I don't match his twisted ideal.:rolleyes:

Word.

sounds to me like A"larry" turned his card in

**in my Ceddy voice** and Rosa Parks just sat her a** down on the bus.....lol

C'mon give O.J. a break....:p

May I co-sign with you, Jill? I have never heard of this. WTH is it?? :confused:
