Care to explain why you find reducing one's 'worth' to a monetary value funny? | |

Unfortunately I hear this a lot. Not about me but about other people. I can't help but to make them know how dumb that sounds. Some people really just need to get out more.

When my sister was having issues with her boyfriend,she felt the need to let me know that he was into bondage,and as if that wasn't enought information she comes to me one day,and says..
"You will never guess what he was wearing last night when I pulled back the covers to go to bed" I still don't know why I asked "what?" A male chastity belt! Everyday after she told me that whenever he was around me,and wearing really lose sweatpants,I could'nt help,but wonder if he was wearing it then.

roodboi said: my grandmother and I had a pretty tense relationship, especially just before she died...a lot of that was due to my fathers (her son) behavior that led to his death, which she refused to admit or believe...he was a less than upstanding citizen and also had anger issues...those along with some of his other issues are the reason he was killed - not murdered...shot and killed before he could kill my mother and myself ( I was an infant at the time)
she would constantly tell me, "You remind me so much of your father, he would have loved you." she knew that it made me uncomfortable to hear that...over & over unfortunately, that's the only relationship we would ever have, the tense one she created.... that would be difficult! | |

DanceWme said: I was in the chinese restaurant yesterday and these two white women walk in. One ask the guy if they sold Snapple ice tea. He said "No, but we have homemade ice tea". So she tell the other woman that she's not sure if she should get it because she doesn't know how it taste. So she asked me. I told her it was good. She says "Is it so so or is it good?". Now I love it so I tell her "It's really really good" Then she looks at me and says "Does that mean it has a lot of sugar in it, like kool-aid?"
I'm like "what did u say" She goes "oh u dont drink kool-aid?" biiiitch what's wrong with folks? | |

He started off his warm welcome to the new minorities of the campus by saying: "You know I'm not much different from you people. I grew up poor, without shoes, and raised by a single mother."

Glad I read this thread before I posted because that was the first thing that came to mind.. You're pretty - for a black (coloured) girl. What the fuck else were you expecting? Girl, now you know "pretty black girl" is an oxymoron | |
