Things Negroes Like: Art & Home Edition

It's Tuesday... you know what that means. Since spring is finally here, today brings a special art and home edition of "Things Negroes Like." I hope it inspires you to do some spring cleaning if you have any of these things in your home.

Plastic-covered Couches

Stop this madness please! Have a sit down with grandma and tell her there are fabulous, washable fabric couch covers now. She should invest. And for crying out loud, if the plastic is cracked…REPLACE IT! There’s nothing worse than bleeding to death from the cut you get from some raggedy couch plastic.

Wicker Furniture

We love to take a club flick leaning all over some wicker with our booties tooted to the side. But what is it with the wicker IN the house? Now, don’t get me wrong. I do have a lovely, vintage swing made of wicker. It’s fly and I’ve seen cheaper versions popping all up in Ikea. But for real, the wicker is not meant to be an armchair or a dinner seat. You know it cannot support your aunt every week at the Sunday dinner. Come on.

White Jesus

Now, please don’t wish death and lightning strikes upon me. But ya’ll know you love you some white Jesus. Whether the picture comes with a teardrop, a crown of thorns, on the back of a church fan or the classic Jesus-MLK-JFK trifecta, you people love to see some white Jesus. Can we at least get a tanned picture? Ok, off the soapbox. Lord, don't kill me for this!
