		<description><![CDATA[#3. Eminem

     This person without question may very well be the only white man in America who can call a black man the N-word to his face and get away with it (especially if he&#039;s rhyming with it). Black people love Eminem! He is regarded in some cases to be the greatest rapper of all time. And has on numerous occasions been regarded as being &quot;a black man trapped in a white man&#039;s body.&quot; Having one of his albums is an easy way to gain a black friend. Whatever you do, under any circumstance, do not say his lyrics are weak. That will only make him/her question your knowledge in the field of hip hop and incite a hour long &quot;debate.&quot;Even worse than that is assuming that Eminem is racist. That&#039;s another hour. 

     But this can be tricky sometimes because although they say he&#039;s the greatest rapper they don&#039;t like other races (especially whites) to bring him up first in a &quot;whose the greatest rapper&quot; discussion. The best way to handle this is to bring up a either a hip hop legend like Mos Def or a up and coming artist like Tyler the Creator. That&#039;ll open the floodgates to the rap topic and he&#039;s eventually going to come up. Knowing verses to his rhymes (on the album but not on the radio) seals the deal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sorry your comment is HILARIOUS! I know what you mean! I&#039;m bi-racial (African-American and German) and my husband is African American. We picked this book up in a &quot;coffee&quot; shop, because I was looking for a book on &quot;screen plays&quot;. We had just gotten back from the farmers market, where I was inquiring about selling my own produce there (true story). No wonder we&#039;ve been accused of being so &quot;white&quot;! I swear...he and I could not put this book down! We were seriously laughing aloud, pointing to one another declaring: &quot;OMG you so totally do that...I do that...we soooo do THAT!&quot; Not to mention I practice Buddhism, love foreign film, tried to recently find a Kabbalah center near me, drink lots of coffee and wine, and hope to become a screenwriter some day, but not before spending some time in Uganda where I&#039;ve been asked to take part in a research project on the black rhino (true story). I also scuba dive, and ride horses---gosh, it&#039;s getting worse and worse isn&#039;t it?
Oh well, I guess we&#039;re just white in black bodies--he..he! I love it, we are the best of both worlds I suppose! Pretty cool!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fact #1 – 90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.

We’ve grown up with heavy exposure to movies and TV it’s not surprising we’re interested in it.

Fact #2 – White people like feeling smart without doing work – 2 hours in a theater is easier than 10 hours with book.

No. White people lead busy lives and don’t see the point of learning about something 120 hours when we can learn about it in two.

Fact #3 – If white people aren’t going back packing, they generally like to travel with a specific purpose.

Don’t most people?

Fact #4 – 75% of white people believe they either have the potential to or will become filmmakers/screenwriters/directors at some point.

75% of the white people I know don’t believe that at all.

Fact #5 – White people hate stuff that is ‘mainstream’ – so they go to film festivals where they see movies that every other person in their demographic wants to see. It’s a pretty sweet way to rebel.

No. I hate soulless formulaic shit. My natural reaction to it boredom. 

Fact #6 – It is required by white person law, that you publicly declare that foreign cinema is better than Hollywood Cinema, and on par with Indie Film.

But that would fly in the fact face of being politically correct and not making sweeping generalizations.

Fact #7 – White people earn credibility by being into film from strange countries – “oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into Serbian film now. They had a great retrospective at the Vancouver Festival.”

See response 6.]]></description>
