The majority of yours are made up, and still unimpressive. That may be the saddest part. You've wasted hours on here fabricating a ho hum existence.
on here is the guy who knows jacksh*t and lies all the time.
The joke is that white people find it funny that Leon doesn't know who Seinfeld is, because they can't imagine people didn't watch it.
But, where you grew up anyone of a different background was clearly something to take note of. I did not grow up in the 'burbs or on a farm. I guess running into some Black people in a Black community was such a mind blower for you it's etched in your memory.
I guess running into some Black people in a Black community was such a mind blower for you it's etched in your memory. I referred to things like that as the subway ride to school. That's right, my school bus was an underground train and all sorts of people rode it. Wow!!!
Again, others have claimed I was making stuff up, both Captain Corea and Mr. C. Both of them were proved wrong. With receipts.The stuff I've said I've been through isn't that remarkable. I'm sorry if your life is such a pile of nothing that it seems remarkable, but it's not.If you think I'm the one who knows jackshit, it's because you know jackshit. Have you noticed that the people who disagree with me the most (i.e. MayorHaggar, SPQR, gogators!) don't exactly come across as the brightest bulbs? Yeah, that was my point. White people can't imagine that people haven't watched Seinfeld, but the reality is, for black people, Seinfeld was no big deal and many black people didn't watch it. Why do white people think this way? Because they live in a bubble. And when you say "They know The Beatles", that shows the bubble they live in.Ann Arbor is a very diverse city and the schools are incredibly diverse experiences. Ann Arbor is one of the wokest cities in the U.S. And Ypsi and Detroit, well.. you trying to say they're white?But that doesn't mean shit if you don't actually hang out with other people.Again, you seem to think that riding on a subway and living in a diverse city makes you aware.Nothing you have said involves interacting and talking with black people. It's all "I live in Toronto and it's diverse."
I don't care how popular The Beatles are or are not in any given subsection of Western society. If I'm told that a huge chunk of any given group are not even aware that The Beatles are a band............... Like. NO.
White people are not going and putting The Supremes on and saying "SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT T WAHT IS THIS? WHATTTT?????????" EN MASSE on youtube
Maybe they should. I bet you could find a bunch of white people who have never listened to Patti LaBelle or Luther Vandross. A bunch of white people had no idea about drumline and the Battle of the Bands until the movie with Nick Canon. Probably no idea about marching band fights.
Also, OnNut81, waiting on your answer- Why don't most black kids who grew up in black neighborhoods listen to rock and why wouldn't they know who The Beatles are (in all but the most basic of terms)? You should know. You claim to know "ethnic communities." Well then you should know this, both the simple answer and the details.
Look at the comment sections of rock music on YouTube. Plenty of black peoples identity with rock music amongst other music genres.
That there are black folks who grew up in the suburbs or even the ghetto does not address why many black kids do NOT listen to rock and would have close to know awareness of any significant rock musicians.By that "logic" plenty of Americans commenting on a BTS video=BTS is huge in America and known by all.
Lose some weight. You know, comorbidities and all that, plus you won't be bothered by the heat as much.
No way DeMartino! Last week all of the air conditioners in my school on the top two floors was out of order and it was so so humid and stuffy because of the weather, even though we opened all the windows (usually the weather and temp is not like this for the end of September). The Administrative office fixed the air conditioners in two days despite the date (almost October). Every teacher and student complained because we were sweating and very uncomfortable. The humidity is the problem!..Not the temperature.I am a normal weight and I was perspiring like crazy. Add to that 30 plus bodies in a room....yuck.
On the contrary, you've given no evidence as to whether they do or do not listen to rock music. All you've offered is loose conjecture and anecdotes which you've tried to pass off as a comprehensive cultural commentary on the black community's music tastes.Unfortunately, streaming is not broken down into racial groups percentages.
OK, gotcha! I don't read a lot of the threads fully. P.S. You are so silly DM
Questions, for you and everyone else- 1) Why do you assume they're lying when they say they don't know The Beatles or the song?2) If they are lying, how come their comment pages aren't filled with black people being surprised they don't know The Beatles and calling them liars?The attempted answers to this should be good.
Lol. Thanks. Though I think most here would use some other adjectives!
