"Racially charged blogs" are tearing this nation apart. We saw it on Drudge! America's next civil war is right around the corner and it's all because of Stuff White People Like, a site written by and for yuppies to gently laugh at themselves with smug self-congratulation (or alternatively to condemn the whole enterprise, like we just did—wheels within wheels, people). This alarming site is, as the Houston Chronicle puts it, merely "the latest in a string of racially charged blogs (first came theassimilatednegro.com, then angryasian.com)...." Hah. Congrats to friend of Gawker The Assimilated Negro for apparently being inadvertently responsible for the fucking "Stuff White People Like" controversy. And for embodying the "vaguely suggestive without saying anything" term "racially charged"! [Chron.com]

That picture belongs on my blog, Stuff CodePink Likes.
Wow, Pareene. Is this an extension of my previous post on this site? [gawker.com]
hey, reminds me:
what did happen to T.A.N. ?
Some of "Stuff White People Like" is actually accurate and funny. A lot of it is really just stuff some irritating white people like because they think it makes them clever and ironic...like trucker hats and certain 80s music. And some of it would be more accurately labeled "Stuff Hipsters Like."
The problem with 'Stuff White People Like' is that it would be an amazingly funny one-time LIST of items, but none of the writing is actually all that clever.
My peoplefromthebeneluxconsortiumeatballs.com really stirs the pot.
Stuff White People Like (or at least this particular white people): The Assimilated Negro. How did I not win that Valentine date to the White Castle with him last year! He would have been so much happier with my milk shake.
That's it, I'm grabbing "Stuff Bankers Like" and finding a bunch of .jpgs about golf and prostitution.
I'm tired of white people. Are they done ruling the world yet?
tan, my man... come join us here in the peanut gallery.
@mitchel_stevens: he's been banished to the dustbin of cyberspace by dark lord baltazar, just like every other gawker freelancer.
In Houston, Assimilated=Racially charged. They prefer to keep all races as far away from each other as possible.
And for embodying the "vaguely suggestive without saying anything" term "racially charged"!
Now who's to blame for all the recent inflammatory "gender tinge-d" and "gay infused" blogs and articles out there?
@the cajun boy:
so he works for Best Week Ever now?
@mitchel_stevens: he will be very soon, i'm sure.
@the cajun boy: Speak for yourself, ladypants. Give him the right pitch and you'll be picked right up. Granted, I have absolutely no idea what that right pitch would be. Absolutely none.
@rod: Forkball.
Give yourself a pat on the back Gawker. A little more research might have led them to the minstrel shows on your blog (such as Tionna Smalls, and TAN Events, like his Valentine date photo-opp).
LMFAO
Fact is when anyone says race doesn't matter, a black person somewhere loses a piece of fried chicken. And it hurts a little. The bottom line is: there is a black experience.
Now I have another blog to add to the feed
ha! so now that TAN is part of a trend, gawker wants to claim him...
that's cute.
hey, i may not be the biggest fan of TAN (i'm too much of a lady to explain why here), but if anyone deserved a book deal before, it was him.
@ellagood: Tell it, sister.
@JorgeLuisGorgeous: We'll shoot you an e-mail.
