I was forwarded a link to this site today and I thought it was hilarious..yet true.
Stuff Educated Black People Like is a spin off of Stuff White People Like and each person that I forwarded the link to asked, “Who runs this blog? I’m not sure if I should be offended or laugh my ass off!”
On the list of things educated Black people like:
Natural hair – However, what they love most is to give Blacks that wear relaxers guilt trips about how they are conforming to the European standard of beauty. It makes them feel so much better than you to know that they are educated and liberated enough to not have to be a conformist.
Advanced Degrees– Educated Black people like advanced degrees. What better way to show that you are educated than to get a slew of degrees to prove it!
Business Cards– Business cards are also a clever way for educated Blacks to let you know just how educated they are. Some business cards are abbreviated versions of their resume, listing damn near ever credential that they have. For instance, the cards will say something like,
Educated Black Person, Esq., A.A., B.A., MBA, Ph.D., RN, NAACP, AAA
Baked Chicken – Educated Black People have a more sophisticated taste. We like BAKED CHICKEN. Some even go so far as to use lemon pepper seasonings, but this is only for the upper echelon blacks with advanced degrees, so don’t try this at home if you only have an undergraduate degree.
I was rolling! They sure got me pegged.
So much for being an original! Ha!
