Every year, I do a post about Black History Month. A lot of people have loved it, and a lot of other people have gotten mad as hell and told me to stick to making music. Last year's post entitled 10 things my White Friends should do for me during Black History Month became so popular that it ended up being featured on The View. That's right, girls and boys... Whoopi Goldberg gave me props. (I can't believe I haven't worked that into a song somehow...yet.) Anyway, in the spirit of tradition, I give you my third annual Black History Month blog. Black History Month is a time to acknowledge the struggles and triumphs of African Americans and our contributions to the world. In this country, we are slowly growing to learn that our cultural differences are not something that should divide us, but something that we should embrace and viciously make fun of each other about. So to celebrate this special time of the year, here are 10 things that my White friends better not discuss with anybody, AT ALL, during the month of February:

1. Don't remind people that President Obama is biracial. Look, White homey. If he's partially Black, that makes him Black.

2. Don't gripe about the unfairness of Whites not being able to say the n-bomb.

3. Don't mention the fact that the dude who ate the other dude's face was Black.

4. Don't talk to me about how so many rappers are a "bad influence."

5. Don't remind me that White girls have *sses now.

6. Don't share your thoughts on the latest news clip featuring a Black person that got remixed and became a Youtube sensation.

7. Don't bring up people who "went Black and then went back."

8. Don't mention Shawty Lo's television special.

9. Don't b!tch about the president being friends with a rapper

10. Don't even mention the term "reverse racism" to me

-------------------

And I bet she would want me to respect her.

Irreconcilable differences would keep us apart.

And to think that our country and her ancestors, so to speak fought hard to get rid of the "one drop" laws and perspective, and the true racism it represented. SMH.

I infer "separate, superior and protected" from her.

How is her perspective POSSIBLY constructive?

[Blueflag]

Language alert, BTW. I know, you’re shocked.

[Red Badger]

I bet she don’t have a whole lot of white ‘friends’...............

[cripplecreek]

OK Nikki, I’ll give it a shot.

How bout you shut your trap and make me a sammich you self entitled piece of trash.

How’s that?

[PGR88]

I don’t even understand half of these. I guess one needs to watch a lot of TV to understand what this person is talking about!

[Red Badger]

As Morgan Freeman once said, “There is no such thing as ‘Black History’, only ‘History’..............

[DManA]

Can I bring up the fact that I have 0 ansestors who owned slaves and most black Americans have at least one?

[dfwgator]

Ain’t it just like “The Man” to make Black History Month the shortest month of the year! - Nat X

[sonofagun]

Is “uppity” the proper adjective?

[circlecity]

Don’t whine about getting stiffed on your tip by cheapskate “pastors”......

7. Don't bring up people who "went Black and then went back."
10. Don't even mention the term "reverse racism" to me

And don't bring up Michael Jackson:

"You could argue that his ever more pallid complexion made him the pithiest shorthand for pop’s history: in splendid contrast to Little Richard and Pat Boone, he was the first black singer to become his own lucrative white cover version."
-- Beyond the Pale: Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009 [Mark Steyn]

[sickoflibs]

That’s a funny list

‘Don’t bring up people who “went Black and then went back.”’

Went back LOL

The black “clergy” have a lifetime immunization against embarrassment.

One day they can agitate for adopting every Great Society program, and the next feign cluelessness when the illegitimate welfare spawn run wild in the streets.

With friends like this...

[showme_the_Glory]

Daaang..What ever happened to plain english like fo shizzle?

[beandog]

I will talk about anything I darn well please, whenever I feel like it. I don’t celebrate “Black History” month, or any other stupid, made up garbage.

This list is just dumb and not even funny. I had no intention of talking about any of this crap before I read the list, but if it annoys the author to have me do so, I think I will.

This country is full of idiots.

So... when’s “White History Month”, lady?

[tnlibertarian]

Our half-white president, was watching the Shawty-Lo television special with his rapper friend the other night. The rapper, who many think is a bad influence, said to the president, "Yo, my (a word which white people unfairly can't say) prizzle, I was watching some youtube remix of a brother eatin' some dude's face, and I saw dat the white girls, they got asses now. I bet that's why folks is going black and then going back. Ain’t that some kind of reverse racism or something? Can you get our boy Holder on dat?"

Did I get them all?

[RoosterRedux]

She could go on and on...

For example, my white friend...

(1) better not axe me to go the the white sale at Pottery Barn,

(2) better not axe me to play black jack,

(3) better not mention that Great White Sharks have been spotted at Martha's Vineyard,

(4) better not mention Martha White's Self Rising Flour (while on the subject of Martha),

(5) and, and, and..."for that matter my skinny @ss white honkie friend should just STFU b!tch..."

;-)
