i'm just an ignorant guy from the netherlands,
but what's this supposed connection between
black people and chicken?

this is not some kinda bait post or whatever,
i just really don't have a clue.

i have black friends who eat pork, cow, hell,
they even ate kangaroo at my place, lol.

but this is like the 20th time i've seen some
online joke about black people and chicken,
what the hell is that all about?

Its an ignorance thing...or like a stereotype...that we like fried chicken...etc...its very coonish and stereotype like, its really geared towards african-americans, not afro-euro people...and the sad part is that its other black people that are making fun of other black people over here in the states...sad ...I know I'm up late, talking with someone from the netherlands...lol

lol. thanks for explaining. i'd never heard mention of it over
here in europe indeed. it's only online that i sometimes see it
mentioned. what a silly thing anyway. geez.

how late is it over where you are? i've just started work about
an hour ago: 10:15 am over here.

IstenSzek said:

3:41am...lol

Yeah, I think its a joke, but its still not funny...I dont know how the rumor is over their in Europe, but the US is so damn sterotypical and silly, Just makes me shake my head...lol, like I know how Americans sterotype people from Europe like British people, French people, etc...its kinda like that, I dont know any swedish sterotypes??

What do you do for a living?

i don't really know too many swedish people but i think the stereotype for
them over here in europe is that they are not too clever and like to have
sex all day long, lol.

well, that goes for about 90% of teenagers all over the world

i work in insurance. but i've got a deskjob in a nice small firm so i get
to be on the org a lot as long as i still get my work done



03:41 am do you have the day off tomorrow?

IstenSzek said:

Yeah, good for you, I used to work at a hotel, and used to stay on Prince.org all night long, until my ass got fired...lol...I go into work tomorrow evening...at around 5...I work in retail...oh the joy...lol YOU STAY CLASSY

lonelygurl8305 said:

wow, that sounds like a great job! were you the night watch?

i always wanted to be a night watch cause that might give me
time to write a book.

although, knowing myself, i would spend all my time on here,
never writing a book anywayz

IstenSzek said:

I used to work as a night auditor at a hotel called the radisson, basically paperwork, making sure everyone's checked in, checked out, e-mail reports, kissing ass, etc. I'm happy they fired me, because I was sick of working third shift by myself anyways, I got robbed at gunpoint one time, highly unsafe for a female...WHAT PART OF EUROPE ARE YOU FROM?? How long have you been a Prince fan??

lonelygurl8305 said:

omg. that's horrible. indeed, not a nice job at all.

i'm from the Netherlands, so pretty much all the way
up in the north of europe.

the weather always sucks here

i've been a prince fan since 1988 when i saw the vid
for "i wish u heaven". hardcore fan ever since.

and what about you?

IstenSzek said:

I've always known about Prince, but I didnt actually become a fan until listening to Prince: The hits/B sides, and after since then...I've been a fan, I wouldnt say a hardcore fan, but a great fan of his work . I've never seen the video wish you were heaven, I'm gonna have to look that up :_)

who doesn't love fried chicken? that's what i never got about that stereotype

Tessa said:

Its a sterotype saying that all African-Americans (or black people) love fried chicken, and we can't resist it... kinda like how people say white people love mayo...lol
[Edited 3/2/07 22:22pm]

Gosh, I sure do miss The Sundays.

lonelygurl8305 said:

right, but what i don't understand about the stereotype is that i've never met a white person who doesn't love fried chicken too

Tessa said:

Yeah, white people like fried chicken, hell, I like it, I just dont overdue it, I feel that way about all fried foods anyways...I went out for chinese today, and made sure that the meat that I got wasnt fried, because thats not always good for you...

lonelygurl8305 said:

A lot of us at the org have seen this piece of crap last year. I think I speak for everyone in saying it's freaking WACK!!!!

lonelygurl8305 said:

I'm a black man & I like some mayo in my tuna. But I don't writes a freaking song about it.

TonyVanDam said:

You too!! I love mayo in my tuna...I'm on the late show with that Ms. Peachez thing...lord jesus makes me ashamed to be a black person
