Among the wrong kind of white people, there are few more hated than the wigger or whitethug. Though it is very acceptable and common for the right kind of white people to dress and act as though they were Japanese, Chinese, or European, it is completely unacceptable for them to act like rappers.

This distaste caused a dilemma for white people who had to show both that they loved hip hop but also that they were aware they were white. The brilliant solution they came up with was to appropriate hip hop words and mannerisms and filter them through a white appropriateness system.

For example, white people find it particularly hilarious to take slang and enunciate every word perfectly.

“Homey, that bernaise sauce you made is wack. Do you know what I am saying? For Real.”

“Well, I used a different type of butter. I switched the style up, so let the haters hate and I’ll watch the deliciousness pile up.”

Since the above exchange involves people who are very aware of their whiteness it is hilarious, but if it were to be said by wiggers, it would be tragic. The difference is subtle but essential.

This is also an excellent way to make white people like you. If you can recite rap lyrics with perfect enunciation, they will always find it funny. As a rule of thumb, the more popular the rapper, the funnier it gets. Best options: 50 Cent, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, or Jay Z. Note: avoid Kanye West as the irony of reciting his lyrics with perfect English is not as great.

In terms of physical actions, there are few things white people enjoy more than throwing up fake gang signs in photos. Again, the same rules apply: if it is done by wiggers it is tragic, if it’s done by the right kind of white people, it’s hilarious. It’s not a good idea to mention how these signs have often resulted in awful, senseless deaths– that will ruin the joke.

In both cases, the actions are done in hopes that a white person will be recognized as “one of the good ones,” who love hip hop, but don’t try to appropriate it in any non-hilarious ways.

In both cases, your best response is to say “did you go to the last Dead Prez/Roots/Mos Def/Twaleb Kwali/Michael Franti concert? It was incredible. I smoked weed and kept this one finger up for almost an hour!”

Though this information has very little use in and of itself, it could be the final piece in the puzzle of cementing your white friendship. At the very least, it is a guaranteed way to help your progress.

I saw two white skinny-jeaned hipsters a couple weeks ago- one with an ironic mullet and the other in a cardigan and ironic oversized spectacles. Oh yeah and they were freestyle rapping, overenunciating words just like you said.

“Wack” does not begin to describe the disgust I felt.

Bring back da Wiggaz! Please!


 

White people hate when white people act Japanese. It’s called “weeaboo” and it’s fucking annoying. And half of this stuff doesn’t apply to any of the white people I know. The rest of it does and is pretty funny.


 
 
 
things black people like on August 2, 2010 at 10:36 pm

STUFF BLACK PEOPLE LIKE:

Using the word nigga is cool because you dropped the er and have made an awful word “YOUR OWN” but if you’re white dont consider doing this because then you will be asked what you just call me and considered a racist.

Welfare… but if you’re white dont consider doing this because it is highly looked down upon and the majority of case workers are African American and very unhelpful.

Having multiple babies by multiple fathers because its a paycheck and when the fathers dont pay bleeding government dry. This might however not work for white women because seems to be easier to find a man with a w2 and have him pay pennies a month.

Holding onto racism because of past events as an excuse but roles reversed white peoples relatives werent enslaved quite as recent so you will just be called a heartless racist

Underground gay clubs that nobody “takes it” and everyones giving it” where protected sex is unmanly and then go home to there gf’s and spread whatevers been picked up where all these clubs are predominantly black…. my question is WHOS TAKING IT and gays gay nothing wrong with it! But dont get it twisted they arent gay!!! right……..

Its cool to talk ignorant but white people dont jump on board cause you are a wigger and then need to be made fun of.

Gangs and violence in poverty stricken neighborhoods where all that is happening is making the problem worse and hurting your fellow neighbor but white people dont consider this cause in suburbia (where all white people in the minds of black people grow up) trust me you are a lot easier to find.

Making fun of white people to make oneself feel better but white people it is not suggested to do this because u will be made an example of

Wasting money they dont have on crappy cars or spending more on the stereo system then the actual car is worth. again white people you will be branded as a wigger

Beans and Cornbread…..

Buying expensive cars with high mileage to look good and getting them repossessed a couple months later.

Cocoa butter….why?????

Slanging and banging cause its what pays the rent…. and its cool and gangster…… and wigger

Pimpin hoes….. and again wigger

Fried chicken but if you are white do not bring up the fact you love fried chicken….. you will end up in a heated debate of who loves fried chicken more.

KFC….. but that can be included in above

Collard greens

Making jokes about white people while we laugh at it but not finding humor in jokes about oneself.

Hatred of the whiteman for enslaving his people even though nobody is alive that had anything to do with any of this (and by the way jewish people have been enslaved more than any other collection of people and are they as mad at the world?)

I just wanted to see if humor and sarcasm will be taken the same way from the other angle or

#1 calling me a racist for a dose of your own medicine. Cause in all honesty racism creates racism and although we all laugh at it none of this is helping the problem thats for sure…….. and whats good for the goose is good for the gander

Do onto others as you would have others do onto you! I dont look at color i surround myself with humorous people and i cant stand a bully who cant take what he dishes out especially with a topic like this where its all in the name of humor when really its more problematic than helpful …. god bless and goodnight!

I have been highly amused by all of these…. for instance I have a Chinese symbol that means mad/insane cause everyone has peace and love and it disgusted me and ralph wiggum from the simpsons with a caption that says my daddy shoots people, i love “bob” along with all types of reggae, conan is the man, camping is the best thing ever, i could go on for hours with the stereotypes this amuses me with. this one however is a bit perplexing…… would it be better if “white people” who you speak of who are into “underground” hiphop/old school rap and sound like they have a brain were into the CRAP that comes on the radio where they say the same damn illiterate nonsense over and over? I say no…. Finally a genre of rap where people dont disgrace the originals by rapping only about all their bitches cars and weed that dont exist and when they do actually end up with shit tons of all of the above they go bankrupt before next album comes out in hopes there next piece of crap will sell to fools that believe their lies of there life in the ghetto and hardships they overcome when really they grew up in suburbia and they’re still suckling on the teat of the older family member who made it or the previous piece of dung who found them and thought it ingenious to give this idiot an actual record deal…. id rather feel cliche knowing my intelligence doesnt allow me to even consider most of the crap that comes on the radio even music…… my dog could do better like seriously he could….. may be if i copy and paste this over and over and over it will be cool and ok to say because thats what raps about now…. repitition…… not intelligence

HA HA HA HA HA, this website is the best!!! I am mixed, half black and half white, its all about taking stereotypes and having fun with them. Taking out the tense, not talked about, situations, and playing with them. Those who take offense, are probably hiding a little racist tension themselves!!! I mean for the love, I love Chicken, AND I love picking my own fruit, one in the same!!!! LOL
