#122 Moleskine Notebooks

moleskine_pocket_plain_notebookSince all white people consider themselves to be “creative,” they are constantly in need of products and accessories that will allow them to capture their thoughts.  One of the more popular  products in recent years has been the Moleskine notebook.

This particular type of notebook is very expensive and was quite popular with writers and artists in the olden days.  Needless to say, these are two properties that are highly coveted in the white community.   In fact, it’s a good rule of thumb to know that white people like anything that old writers and artists liked:  typewriters, journals, suicide, heroin, and trains are just a few examples.

Much like virtually everything else that white people like, these notebooks are considerably more expensive yet provide no additional functionality over regular notebooks that cost a dollar.  Thankfully, since white people only keep their most original and creative ideas in the Moleskine, many of them will only be required to purchase one per lifetime.

But the the growing popularity of these little journals, is not without its own set of problems.  One of the strangest side effects has been the puzzling situation whereby a white person will sit in an independent coffee shop with a Moleskine notebook resting on top of a Apple laptop.  You might wonder why they need so many devices to write down thoughts?  Well, if a white person has a great idea, they write it by hand, if they have a good idea, it goes into the computer.

Not only does this help them keep their thoughts organized, but it serves as a signal to the other white people in the shop that the owner of both instruments is truly creative.  It screams: “I’m not using my computer to check email and read celebrity gossip, I’m using it to create art.  Please ask me about it.”

So when you see a white person with one of these notebooks, you should always ask them about what sort of projects they are working on their free time.  But you should never ask to actually see the notebook lest you ask the question “how are you going to make a novel out of five phone numbers and a grocery list?”

It written by a white person, why so offended?


 

Christian Lander is white. Furthermore, this is clearly meant to be witty and satirical, not mean-spirited. If you can’t take a joke, you’re more than welcome to redirect yourself to another website.

LMAO!!! and I am black just thought you should know! And right if I wrote something like this about black folks, it would be funny. It is just like us calling each other the “N” word. Or Jerry Springer talking about JEWS. There is a double standard, it just is!


 

Guys, Christian Lander is white. He’s the dude who writes these. Calm the eff down. Everyones like, “Oh, that’s so racist.” But he’s white too. Who cares. If there was an blog called “Stuff Black People Like” and it was written by a black person, nobody would give a shit. Why can’t you either laugh at yourself or laugh with us white people. You people just love calling things out that are racist when it’s happening to you(when it’s not) but if it’s happening to someone else, would any of you guys call it out and say,”Hey! That’s not right!”?

This is hysterical. Very witty description of something I can totally relate to. (And not to be taken seriously, people.)


 

Ignorance is so entertaining. Thank you for this artical.:) And your writing style is pathetic. Maybe you should leave that to us white people, huh?


 

Do you know any white people? I know you’re not white, because you don’t know a thing about white people! I am usually amused at the way other ethnic groups describe white people (because we are very proper, cultured and unique), but you are NOT FUNNY, and way off. Your “so called” book is way off, offensive, and you would be getting your sued if you were writing about any other specific group of individuals. There are all these groups that raise hell if you talk shit about hispanics, blacks, asians, etc…. but it’s open season on whites and nobody dares to say shit. Guess what, asshole, I have something to say! Get an education, learn some tolerance, and fuck off!!


 
 

Im white? & here ive been thinking this whole time I was italian of ancient roman descent w/ the dark olive skin to go with it. I guess I should blame myself for your slavery too, socrates? All hail the wise racist philosophical mongrel. I am not worthy.
