Pet Peeves

Someone brought up pet peeves as a topic on a Myspace message board, and i responded. This is the long post i wrote on there because a lot of things do get on my nerves, lol. So i figured heck, i might as well post it as a blog, so laugh if you want, hopefully no one will get offended, and enjoy :-)

Wow so many things...not in any particular order....

(i might contradict my self a few times, lol)

-people who think they know everything (though i've might've been guilty of it a few times)

-people who complain (i've been guilty of that too)

-people who won't take into consideration or listen to what you have to say when having a conversation with them (lol been guilty of that too, but hey i'm working on these things)

-people who talk so much about how people are hypocrites when they've been hypocritical themselves in their lifetime (we are human, no one is perfect, people change their ideas, thoughts and opinions)

-people who try to be funny when they're not-bad breath

-people who wear grills, gold teeth, or whatever else (that is not cute at all! i've got into arguments with people from the south on this)

-racist

-people who think that racism doesn't exist

-people who say black people have it better, but when a black person try to make it, it's hard for them to

-people who say black people make too many excuses (that's not all blacks)-black people that's not trying to do anything with them selves

-parent's who don't pay their kids any attention

-materialistic people! (why are you spending all your money on name brand stuff, then complain about not having any money when you could've gotten clothes at a cheaper price and had some money in ya pocket)

-peer pressure (don't try to make me do something i don't wanna do)

-people who are too scared to talk about racism (if we don't talk about it how are we going to fix it?)

-people who don't want to talk about racism in fear of offending people

-people that take offense TOO easily (not saying you can't take offense to something, but just as soon as someone said something do go all off getting mad at it, or if someone say something they automatically wants to call it racist instead of really thinking about it first and looking at the context of the situation)

-people from the South that think their better

-Black people who give black's who date outside of their race a hard time (you don't know what they've been through with their family already, especially if their family is racist, so you don't need to give them a hard time, they might really be in love)

-Gold diggers

-Black females who give white girls a hard time or talk about them out loud and give them dirty looks because they're with a black guy (you don't know their history or how they got together. don't be mad, just go on tot he next black guy)

-Black guy's who date white women for money or think that they're going to give them head (there are black girls that give head too, so stop stereotyping them white girls!)

-White women who date black men either because they think their rough and like a bad guy, think their penis are huge, think that they're good in bed, or for their money (if their famous, or about to be a doctor or whatever)

-People who think white girls don't chase black men who are well off or rich, and think that they're going with them because they're just in love (no child they're chasing them for a reason, because they got money, white girls are gold diggers too!)

-Black guys that think black girls are easy and over sexed

-Black men that go to white women or any other women because they think black women are too hard on them (they're gonna get a rude awakening)

-So many black men celebrities and athletes that marry white women

-People who say people from Chicago sound country (well hell, due to the 1920's, 30's, 40's, and 50's, a lot of black folks left the South and came north, so yea we might got a lil country twain in our voice)

(i mean wtf? we're all mixed up, if you wanna get technical, everyone came from African and began to spread out, so all of those folks are of African decent too. Also alot of times, those different countries, the people are actually the same type of people, they're just different cultures, so what you're mixed with different cultures? Get the hell outta here with that)

-Black people who say "i'm not black, my skin color is brown (man WTF? We know your skin ain't black, that's just a label to include all blacks of African decent together, if not, you'll have too many categories, which means more and more division! Black folks stick together!)

-Black folks who still say "good hair". Stop saying that ignorant ish!-Black people who act like nappy or kinky hair is bad and will talk about someone who doesn't have a relaxer or say something like "you need to clean up that kitchen on the back of ya head" or "damn you need a touch up". (are you ashamed of your self?)

-Black people who are color struck

-Black people who make remarks like "tar baby", "too black", "mellow yellow", "light bright and damn near white", "charcoal", or any other ignorant shit like that

-Black people who are so quick to say someone is acting white, but don't know a thing about the person before making that judgement (maybe the person grew up around white people? of course they might adapt to that culture and might not do the things other black folks might do.
