But .. it's fun, so we're going to go with it.
The story is that two magazines decided to do a survey on "what do people fear the most?" One magazine, Country Living, had almost a 100% white readership. The other was Ebony/Jet magazine where the readership is somewhat different.
First .. the results from Country Living. What do their readers fear most?
Nuclear war or an attack on the United States
A child or spouse with a terminal illness
Themselves with a terminal illness.
And what do the readers of Ebony/Jet fear most:
Ghosts
Dogs
Registered mail.
Now ... why did I post this? First .. it passed the Snopes test ... and besides, remember my goal of making the MediaMorons.loons website again this week?
That boy is gonna get himself in trouble
ghostism
dogism and mailism is amazingly scary
honestly
none of that would surprise me, ever had conversations with certain folk where you see what you say just goes right through their ears.
usually obama voters
they have to be the most uneducated ignorant voters this country has ever produced, most can’t even talk in a present tense or future tense.
she gone not she’s gone
etc
Looks to me like whitey be a bit straight-laced while the brothers can have a some fun at the expense of Ebony.
Neal’s puttin on water skis.
Registered mail can be scary.
This is thought-crime, if true, and does a grave diservice to all Deceased-americans and canine-Americans. Not to mention the obvious slur on postal carriers.
I remember a cover of Ebony magazine with Nichelle Nichols on it as Uhura. WOW!
What? No snakes?! Ahz done HATE dem snakes!
Kinda skiddish ov dem dare rollin’ pins, too!

I'd hit its hailing frequencies.
Why exactly would anyone fear registered mail? Bills?
If you like Nichelle Nichols, then you should rent the movie “Truck Turner” with Isaac Hayes, it is too funny for words. She plays a foul-mouthed madame that pimps out women. Warning: gratuitous use of the N-word.
Not surprising when I see african americans watching a black comedian mock them ..they hoot and holler laugh and wet themselves in glee...and don’t even realize they are the butt of the jokes.
I never received good news by registered mail.
This be stereotyping.
OTOH, I always wondered what would happen if you tossed a rubber snake to Reverend Al while he was bloviating on some talk show.
Registered mail can be scary.
Concur. Me brudder was in the Navy in the 80’s. After he’d seen what some of his mates rec’d in their registered envelopes, he also developed a healthy fear of that little pink chit from the ship’s postal clerk.
Boo got shot!
