Any particular reasons why you didn't fell in the mood to get into Black History Month? Was it the presentation, the topics, anything specific?
I was trying to make time for the V-Day mood and it took up much of my February Time.
I see no point in frustrating over it here,it'd be best to appreciate and celebrate and read up on the efforts and accomplishments of black people all the time. Why relegate it to just a month and just be like meh the rest of the year?
That's a stereotype? Since when? I've always hated grape-flavored anything.
Does the black people like grape drinks stereotype have anything to do with the fact that sugary fruit drinks are generally inexpensive and that there's also the stereotype that black people are poor?
A Pathetic
I always thought it had to do with 'purple drank
' but I could be way off the mark.
Regardless, it sounds like one of those braindead stereotypes that makes little sense.
YUUGI WANTS YOU FOR DRINKING BUDDY
I am a quarter Danish. Totes not black. :/
No, I'm pretty sure it's just because drinks like that were way cheaper to buy. The drink being grape flavor is just what happened to catch on.

We should have a thread for discussing stupid stereotypes like that

I'm kinda late to the party but I think I see where OP was going with this thread.
My mom is black and my dad is white, and my skin is light enough for me to "pass". However, I grew up with black culture because I spent so much time with my mother's side of the family. I didn't fully embrace a lot of the stereotypical black culture (mainly hip hop) but I am a big fan of gospel music and artists like Otis Redding. As a result, in school, I was never black enough for the black kids, and never white enough for the white kids. It makes you feel left out in both cultures. I think that may be the point of this thread, although I could be wrong.
It's a good thing our last name isn't Drew, because then you'd be Nancy Drew and I'd be Andrew Drew. -Andy Botwin
Otis redding is popular in central Georgia. Music knows know racial boundaries.
Unless you're pre-Thriller MTV, and you don't play music videos by black people.
