Stuff White People Like by Christian Landers is truly my funniest non-fiction read of the year. There are 150 things that white people like and I'm dividing them into three blogs. This is the blog for 1-50.
Out of the 50 things so far that I have read so far the following are linked together:
# 4 Assists ( like in sports, or just assisting in general.)
# 8 Barack Obama
# (I can't remember and left my book elsewhere) Appologizing
These all have to do with white people feeling bad about the past and trying to make amends for slavery, colonization, the crusades etc. White people like apologizing because they are not only apologizing for what they've done, but what was done by their race. White people like Barack Obama because if they don't they are afraid they'll be considered racist. I found that interesting because in Decatur everyone was so pro-Obama but when I'd ask out of Decatur they'd say I like Obama, he's great but I'm voting for John McCain so he doesn't get shot. White people like to assist in sports because in games like basketball etc. there really isn't much they can do. White men can't jump, can't dunk, but they can pass the ball as an apology.
Landers segments are quick and simple to read and always leave a smile on my face after reading it because it is so funny.
