'I LOVE BLACK FOLK'! THERE'S NOBODY LIKE US.
With black folks, everything starts late!
Everything ends late. Time is just a thang!
Black folks arrive late for weddings,
funerals, and Sunday church services! And
then act like they are on time!
Black folks will go to social functions,
particularly at church, and not stay for the
program, but want to wrap up some food to
take home as if the event is fast food 'take
out'
When some black preachers can't think of
what else to say during a sermon, will say,
'Turn to your neighbor and say, 'God loves
you!'
Every black family has a preacher.
When a lead choir member can't reach a high
note or has forgotten the words, the choir
members will get filled with 'the holy
ghost,' get happy, shout and not have to
finish the song.
A black gospel choir can sing a three word
song for twenty minutes.
In the black church, the announcements are
longer than the sermon.
Black folks cry and pass out at the funeral,
but are fine and laughin' at the dinner
following the interment.
The black church takes twenty minutes to
take up an offering at an afternoon program
and only raise $76.34! (don't forget they
take an hour to count it again after
church).
Black folks eat 'fried' bologna.
When Black folks lose the remote control,
they use their kids.
Black folks refer to diabetes as, 'Sugar.'
Don't ask black folks for the precise time.
They respond, 'Almost a quarter after...' or
a 'little after two.'
Black folks will eat ferociously at the
family dinner, and then have the nerve to
start wrappin' stuff up in foil to take
home.
Black cashiers always seem to have an
attitude.
Black folks sell CDs, potato chips, nabs and
sodas out the trunk of their cars after
church and at the football game.
Black folks have at least one person in the
family who still wears a Jheri curl.
Black folks stay engaged for six years and
never get married.
Black folks put hot sauce and ketchup on
everything!
Black folks have at least one family member
that 'almost' made it to the pros.
Black folks will owe you and everybody else
in the neighborhood money but can buy a new
car.
Black folks re-use ZipLoc baggies, paper
plates, plastic forks, spoons, aluminum
foil, and knives.
Black folks put thin left over bars of soap
in jars or plastic containers, run scalding
hot water over them to melt them down to use
as dishwashing liquid or home made bubble
bath.
Black folks won't throw anything away! The
rationale is that you never know when you
might need it!!
IN SPITE OF ALL OF OUR PECULIAR WAYS, I
STILL LOVE BLACK FOLKS! DON'T YOU??
YOU'D BETTER CUZ YOU IS ONE!
