My class was discussing race/parents pushing their kids to succeed and this 55-60-year old white woman decides that she's gonna put her two cents in on the subject and use her daughter as an example. This lady had the nerve to say:

I don't think that negroes push their children to succeed. My daughter has 5 children by two different negroe men and my daughter wants the kids to be involved in school activities and sports but their fathers don't. She put them in a few sports but the kids came home saying that they didn't want to do it anymore so their negroe father didn't really push the issue and told them they can quit. I think that's why so many negroes drop out of school and sell or do drugs. It goes back to the parents and the parents' parents and their parents, you see?

The professor turned RED and the three white students kinda shifted in their seats with uncomfortable looks on their faces. The black boy that sat next to her gave turned in his seat and gave her the "O RLY?" face.

HS Biology:

A very sweet but very ditzy white girl:

I was told that the reason why blacks are dark and their hair is so coarse is because it was so hot in Africa that it burned their skin and dried their hair like really bad.

Me and a friend (both black) were going to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. In the door way there was a tank filled with crabs. Being that I don't eat crab I turned to the hostess and asked her what kind of crabs they were and what parts do people normally eat. She states "You know my people we eat the whole thing, like every thing but you know you people......"
and the conversation was done because my friend walked out on her and I followed.

LOL...maybe she meant nonChinese people. Do you think she was going to say something about only eating crab legs?

I, and many other blacks, come from coastal families of crab boilers and crab feasters. We buy crabs by the barrels or buckets and eat everything except the "dead man's meat" and the eggs. Some people eat the dead man's meat and eggs (yuck!).

Actually that was my interpretation--that she meant non-Chinese people. Oh, and I only eat the legs - lol.

That's the vibe I got as well, but it's the "you people" I was hung up on. I might not have walked out, but she would've gotten the "WTF" face.

I aint buying it. She selling wolf tickets because she is old enough and yet young enough to know that is not appropriate.

Him: "In America, it is the law that in an emergency, ie a fire, you must save children, then women, dogs, and men last. We are less important than dogs."
My response: "Well, ofcourse your more important than a dog!"
Him: "Ask any police officer and they will tell you that dogs and more important than men. I speak to intelligent people so don't talk to me about this any more. Ask someone else. Intelligent people know that in America, dogs are more important than men."

I think I understand what the gentleman was trying to say but instead of communicating with me and making his point or expressing his frustration, he insulted me!!!

Perhaps it is the case that able bodied people who are not incapacitated are expected to need less direct assistance once the emergency people get there. Able bodied and not incapacitated men tend to be physically stronger than children, women, and pets (which usually aren't saved if it poses a threat to human lives and/or the owners don't express concern over them). This may be what this man was told.

That's the only way this informal practice would make sense. I think that guy just make a logical leap because he's "so intelligent."
