speak really bad english.

Any time you point out that many inner city black people speak bad English, people call you racist. It doesn't matter if you differentiate between 'some' and 'all', and it certainly doesn't matter that it's true.

So I propose we change the name of AAVE, or African American Vernacular English, to CVE, or Caucasian Vernacular English.  Because it's not a black thing.  Ebonics will now be known as Whitonics and the racial stereotype of blacks speaking bad English will be a thing of the past.

Y'know what I'm saying, dawg?

murder their female family members.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/04/girl-buried-alive-turkey

Sixteen year old Turkish girl identified only as "MM" was buried alive for having friends who were boys.

Family "honor" killings account for half of all murders in Turkey.

How utterly disgusting. How can a family who murders their own children claim to have any "honor" at all?

"The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.

A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried. Her body showed no signs of bruising."

hit their kids.

I'm going to start by jumping off of the SWPD post that made me finally get around to making this blog - a guest post that had an interesting comments section.  The general consensus of that comments section is that black people are more likely to give their children "a whoopin" while white people are more likely to use non-corporal forms of discipline.

Beyond that though, there were commenters that actually lamented the fact that it is no longer acceptable to hit your kid in public.  Lamenting that now they will have to use a form of discipline that doesn't give them immediate stress relief from their frustrations.

Black people also tend to treat their children as inferiors, banished away when "grown people are talking." Their children know they can be hit for showing too much childlike curiosity.

It was posited on that thread that the tendency to keep using corporal discipline is a link back to the days of slavery, which is an interesting thought but not one I'm sure I agree with.

Regardless of my feelings on corporal punishment for children, I find it interesting that it tends to be split by race - black people are more likely to use it, while white people tend to use other forms of discipline, or even talk to their child like a mini-adult.

about, and comment policy.

This blog is one-third parody, one-third satire, and one-third activism. Please keep that in mind when you read it.

SNWPD was inspired by Macon D's interesting blog, Stuff White People Do. It's not meant to be a mockery of that blog, it's meant to be a response.  That blog criticizes white people, this blog will do the same for non white people.

I'm going to be swiping most of my comment policy from Macon's blog, because I think it's interesting how racist it sounds when it's not about white people, and I think it's an eye opener to show that people often think it's okay to be prejudiced against white people but not other races.

Comment Policy:

1. Please don't comment as "Anonymous," because a comment section with multiple Anonymouses will make discussion difficult. If I can figure out how to assign your comment a name based on IP, I'll do so.

2. Do not ask why I hate people of color, or accuse anyone else here of hating people of color. I don't. I'm not writing this to say that all people of color are bad, just that sometimes they do things that are worthy of a blog entry. If you're a POC and you keep an open mind while reading this blog, you'll probably realize that.

3. The posts I make aren't claims that all POC or people of a certain ethnicity do something, so if you don't feel it applies to you, let it go.

4. Don't leave random comments that have nothing to do with the post.

5. If you disagree with something written, please explain why, instead of just posting "You're wrong/stupid/racist/etc." That adds nothing to the discussion. Also, if you do disagree with something, keep your disagreement focused on the content of the post or comment, and not on the person who wrote it.

6. No threatening other people, or the blog owner.

7. Comments should be mostly in English (including a foreign phrase is one thing, posting all in French is another) and if it's not in good English, I might not pay much attention to it. If you don't put effort into what you write, you can't expect others to put effort into deciphering it.

8. Don't bother to point out that white people sometimes do the same thing. This blog is not about white people. That's what SWPD is for.

9. If you're a POC and you want to interact here with white people, stop and consider first that the way you're about to act may actually be a common way that your race acts. Yeah I know how fucked up that sentence sounded. That's why I copied it nearly verbatim from the other site.

But seriously, be nice to each other.
