Quick Question... Why should white people love white people?

[Orrex]

Because to be honest, some of those assholes piss me the hell off.

[cali]

1. oh fuck.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. OK.

That's one reason.

[CJCRANE]

2. "Why does anybody love anybody anyway?"

[Thor_MN]

70. People Are People

[BeyondGeography]

3. Some of them give me whitemares

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. fucking A, me too. some of them irritate the piss out of me. Stupid being the #1 reason.

[cwydro]

15. I'm with ya!

I've known a lot of REALLY stupid ones lol.

[Dr. Strange]

5. Because they're good.

Especially doused in Worcestershire sauce.

[Capt. Obvious]

7. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR DIABETES

[NuclearDem]

24. Oh you're just the Worcestershire.

[dissentient]

6. Well, from a purely aesthetic perspective, some of them are beautiful

I was on public transit today and noticed a girl, who looked to be Italian, and was just struck by her beauty. Dark eyes, dark black hair, skinny, kind of looked like a gypsy you might see in a movie. It made me think of how the Italian people seem to often be very beautiful, there is something in their genes.

Another time I was recently walking around, and I saw a tall blonde, Scandinavian type, the type that is always popular as a model. Just stunning.

Anyhow, for a deeper reason, you'd have to ask Jesus.

[Capt. Obvious]

8. I don't even think of them as white

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

18. Are they a credit to their race? nt

[Capt. Obvious]

62. It must have been so tough for them growing up in the suburbs

So boring

[Dr. Strange]

55. I don't even see black and white. I see just good, wholesome people...

and the Dutch.

[Capt. Obvious]

63. I see gray

50 shades of them

[Skittles]

61. I am white as this background

yes

[yuiyoshida]

9. People who need people...

first thing that came into my head.

[el_bryanto]

10. I suppose you should like those things white people have done that are positive

and angry about those things they have done that have been negative.

Bryant

[hifiguy]

11. Beethoven, Bach, Shakespeare, Tolstoy,

Leonardo, Michaelangelo?

I dunno.

I yam confoozled.

[BeyondGeography]

14. And Debussy

This life thing would be tough without Claude.

[KittyWampus]

17. HA! I was just reading about the theory that Beethoven was black.

I hadn't come across it before and it was an intriguing.

[hifiguy]

19. Ludwig van was the son of a Belgian/German musician

and a German woman. He was called "the Spaniard" in his youth because of his swarthy skin tone and black hair, but he was as Northern European as it was possible to be.

Beethoven was the grandson of Lodewijk van Beethoven (1712–73), a musician from Mechelen in the Southern Netherlands (now part of Belgium) who at the age of twenty moved to Bonn.[2][3] Lodewijk (Ludwig is the German cognate of Dutch Lodewijk) was employed as a bass singer at the court of the Elector of Cologne, eventually rising to become Kapellmeister (music director). Lodewijk had one son, Johann (1740–1792), who worked as a tenor in the same musical establishment and gave lessons on piano and violin to supplement his income.[2] Johann married Maria Magdalena Keverich in 1767; she was the daughter of Johann Heinrich Keverich, who had been the head chef at the court of the Archbishopric of Trier.[4]

22. Jonas Salk

[Enrique]

12. i hate short people that work at Walgreens

[CJCRANE]

13. I hate people who drive right behind me.

Why do they do that?

[marle35]

36. Me Too

I'm a lesbian. What have short people who work at Walgreens done for lesbians, as a group?

[marym625]

48. I'm short and bisexual

So what do you have to say about that?

What have lesbians ever done for short bisexuals? Huh? Huh?

[marle35]

50. But do you work at Walgreens?

If so, I hate you guys. But as a group, so there's no reason for you to take offense.

Even though people is plural for person, I am not talking about any person. Just lots of them.

I am sure lesbians have done things for bisexuals. But I'm not so sure about short bisexuals. I just realized that probably means you hate me. But only as a group, so it's cool.

[marym625]

56. oh, I can think of a few things lesbians have done for this short bisexual.

But as a group.

No, I don't work at Walgreens, so we're good there!!

No, I have nothing against lesbians as a group or individually. Well, one but that's another story. So I guess we're good everywhere!

Awesome

[demmiblue]

16. Please consider deleting this copycat thread. n/t

29. Palin annoys me.

All the Bushes. Trump, Nugent, Coulter, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly...I could go on.

Oh, and at least one ex.

[treestar]

42. lol

Saw Coulter on TV last night at a friend's house. Going on about how the unemployment rate doesn't account for people who quit looking! She may be the jerk of the century.

[cwydro]

46. I'd vote for that.

[Rex]

25. Why are we called white people? Most of us seem kinda pinkish-yellow.

Kinda pale orange-ish. Wait...was that the question?

[cwydro]

31. Richard Pryor

once had a great bit on that - and they call US colored?

It was hilarious.

[Rex]

32. Nobody will ever fill his shoes imo.

I remember reading about his life and he was married to a white woman at the time - they were at a party and his wife decided to use the N word (all the black folks were saying it). Everyone stopped partying and Richard took her outside and asked her, "point to which star out there is called N." I think that is very deep and made me think of RP more as a modern day bard.

[cwydro]

33. He was great.

I wonder if I can find that bit.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

26. Let me respond

garble

gorgle

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

[wryter2000]

[Skittles]

60. "Be yourself is the worst advice you can give most people."

38. Linus (from Peanuts) said for me decades ago: "I love mankind, it's people I can't stand."

I pretty much take people on a case-by-case basis.

[cwydro]

I used to have that on my fridge in a frame.

Lost it in a hurricane. Dang it.

[MineralMan]

43. Why not just post in the thread you're

copycatting? I don't get it. This thread seems mean, somehow.

[Orrex]

44. Oh, I don't know

I think that most of the responses have been good-natured and in the intended spirit.

I don't expect that any lasting harm will be inflicted.

[cwydro]

57. I agree.

DU used to be all about fun back in the day.

We had good and spirited discussions, but we stayed friends.

[bravenak]

45. This is funny.

[Orrex]

47. .

[bravenak]

53. All in good fun.

[Dr. Strange]

51. Don't encourage him!

[bravenak]

52. Can't help it. I laughed. I'm short too.

[Kalidurga]

59. I couldn't think of a reason in the other thread

and I still can't think of a reason. That being said I have some white friends sort of like we say hi and stuff if we see each other.

[Crabby Appleton]

64. I'm not white

actually more of a pale pinkish light tan

[Kalidurga]

66. Well that's a relief.

[Prism]

65. We single-handedly keep the Vitamin D industry in business

We are job creators!

[HappyMe]

68. I don't know about white people.

I do like the Plain White Ts though.
