Things Negroes Like

It’s Tuesday…so it must be time for the weekly update of things you folks like! Well, not so much YOU folks, but all of us…from uppity to the not-so-uppity. And the list begins with…

BABY HAIR!

What is the fascination with this stuff? Should you want anything on your body to be described as baby once you get to be of a certain age? Is it an attempt to prove to the world that you have or ‘once’ had so-called good hair? Even the JLo has an affinity for the baby tendrils. Let’s all get a brush and move on now.

BABY PRODUCTS!

So from baby hair to baby products… noticing a theme here? Our people seem to love all things baby: baby oil, baby lotion, baby powder. Why would you want to smell fetus-like? Grow up and buy some real lotion and some shampoo that burns your eyes.

VICKS VapoRub!

Chances are she’ll pull out the same tub that’s been sitting in your medicine cabinet since 1984, then slather the stuff all over your chest and insert globs of it up your nose. Zicam people! Let’s upgrade our narcotics in the oh-nine.
