Stuff Educated Black People Like
Posted on August 6th, 2008 by catalyst into the Other Blogs categoryBecause evidently, I can't get enough of these lists. Here is some stuff Educated Black People Like:
- Moving to Atlanta
- Howard University
- Neo Soul
- Correcting Others
- Talking About Uneducated Black People
And the best thing educated black people like is:
Here's my favorite part:
Attending services is very stressful on the EBP because it is difficult to concentrate on “the word” and not talk about others. However, Mega Churches have a solution for this problem – the overflow room. The church’s staff of ushers, all wearing white gloves, usually directs those that are inappropriately dressed to the overflow room. Yes, it says “come as you are”, but please don’t go out and buy and outfit that is club-worthy to wear to church.
When it comes to tithing, EBP are very careful to always give the full 10% as it serves a dual purpose. Tithing gives them the opportunity to follow the scripture and it also allows them to show off their salary to the finance committee without actually “showing off.”
I don't really know if this is true, as the only mega church I attended was 99% white people, but I still laughed.

I always thought I wasn’t black enough because I was educated. After reading that blog, I found out that I don’t even like the things that educated black folks like.

To be fair, that’s East Coast Educated Black. I think West Coast would be a different list.

I wondered when someone was going to do this. I know it was only a matter of time. I think it’s pretty funny but I doubt it will catch on like its counterpart. To many people walk no eggshells when it comes to parody of black folks (for good reason).
Come to Los Angeles. You will find plenty.

I do eat quite a bit of boneless skinless chicken breasts though. Today, I really wanted some KFC instead. No Popeye’s, Church’s, etc where I am right now.
