Alright, here's my (soon to be) failed attempt at opening up a new thread. Feel free to ask those questions you'd be afraid to ask your black friends in real life, for fear that they'd shank you.

How do you make a shank, anyway?

And how do you carry a razorblade in your cheek?

I always wanted to know the answer to those.

I hate smiling in pictures. I don't know why, I think it's because my teeth were crooked when I was little, and I do it out of habit now.

I worry that I might look stupid. :/

What's the proper term to use when referring to a person based on their skin color? I mean, I can't say cuz someone's darkskinned that they're African American. What if they're from Jamaica or some shit? Is it aceptable for a white kid to say, "You know Leny, he's the black kid that works in accounting."

I actually made one last week out of boredom. I used a shard of glass, but I know that in prison, metal scraps are common. Wrap some athletic tape around the base as a handle, and you're set to go.

And how do you carry a razorblade in your cheek?
I've always wondered about that myself. I'll have to get back to you. Right now, all I can say is 'very carefully'.

Is it actually bigger, on average?
No, but don't go spreadin that around.

why is it okay for you to say the N word and not for me to say it??
I've never understood that. I'll point you here http://www.daveyd.com/nigaornigpol.html

Although I am as white as they come, i'll give this one a shot.

Ebonics is just another dialect. Although its more of a broken english type thing than anything else, it's still a different language, for the most part.

Would you get mad at an arab guy because you couldnt understand him?

Same thing, except arabic isnt based on english. Ebonics is, so it misleads you into thinking you should be able to understand it all.

They actually require teachers in oregon to take ebonics classes before they can get their teaching cert.

Do you feel that you personally have ties to Africa?
I'm a bit curious. I'm English-American, ancestrally speaking,
But I don't feel very English. I'm American.
I imagine a lot of "African-Americans" are similarly estranged from their homeland,
But they just can't think of a better term to use.
I remember my History teacher used to get annoyed when people would call him "African-American,"
Because his ancestry was Canadian, and before that they were French. It's rather racist, when you think about it,
To assume that someone is African-American just because of the color of their skin.
Or perhaps some of them just keep more of a hold onto their ancestry than I have...
If you go back far enough, we're ALL African-Americans.

Why do so many well educated black folks have terrible grammar?
Because some of it is engrained from early childhood. It's not just black folk, it's lower class people.

Why do black people put up with the pseudo racism they deal with all the time?
No other choice? Why else? Some black people are still pretty paranoid. I still see people cross to the other side of the street when I walk by.

What's the proper term to use when referring to a person based on their skin color? I mean, I can't say cuz someone's darkskinned that they're African American.

Ask them. It's an individual thing. I personally don't care, but you can never understand what some people will get offended by.

why is it that black people complain that Febuary( black history month) is the shortest month.

Do black people think its fair that on a EOE application there is no section for

Italian Americans
Irish Americans
ect,
but there is for Asian and Hispanic and black
and there is no "mixed" section either. i find that to be unfir to both partys

black people actually dont complain about it
they joke about it

its just white people that dont know any black people at all think they're serious when they say "why we gotta get the shortest month"

among the gay communities in the DC area, they call each other a lot worse than just "fag" fairly often.

That's bullshit.

In newspapers, the AP Stylebook (bible among editors) says to use "black," not African American unless they're from Africa.


The term "African-American" pisses me off on forms. I'm not from Africa. I don't know where my family is from, It's not that important. They don't label white people "European-American", so why should I be African-American? I'm black. I don't know anyone from Africa, except the girl in my classes from Cameroon. I've never met a relative that's African, and as far as I'm aware, I don't have any, unless they're terribly distant.

the hair?


I got weave today. Purple and black, because I love purple, and everyone else has red.
I'm trying to grow my hair longer, so I can do a bit more with it. Until recently it was in the "I'm insane!"-fro.

Though, isn't is already racists that we feel the need to have a month for black history, instead of viewing it as part of the regular American culture?

And how do you carry a razorblade in your cheek?


to get one into the prison, I would assume it would takea small superficial incision, where you slide the razor balde in, ect. Another method would be to develop callouses on the inside of your cheeks. The most likely way is to use dental was to cover the edges while it is in your mouth.
