This website will serve to educate the general public on Black people and the Stuff That Black People Don't Like. Black people have many interesting eccentricities, which include disliking a litany of everyday events, places, household objects and other aspects of their everyday life.
Black people are an interesting subject matter and this website will chronicle the many problems in life that agitate this group of people.

In the history of snowball fights, few have attained the notoriety of the infamous December 2009 snow war that ended with the enraged Washington DC police officer, Detective Mike Baylor, arresting many combatants after brandishing a firearm. No snowball – despite the engineering and precision used in its creation – can compete with a gun.
However, the snow that pelted the eastern portion of the United States had a maddening affect on Black people in Philadelphia, as 100 participants in a snowball battle terrorized a Macy’s Department Store with the fury of a god slighted. According to a local nightly news report – this time courtesy of CBS – the Macy’s was overrun with unruly Black people who created an impromptu Black Friday:
Investigators say a massive snowball fight outside City Hall between 100 teens spilled into a popular department store and ended with 14 arrests.
The entire ordeal began when approximately 100 teens engaged in a gigantic snowball fight outside Philadelphia's City Hall Tuesday evening.
Shortly afterwards, the unruly mob then rolled into the Macy's Department Store located in the 1300 block of Market Street.
Once inside, customers told Eyewitness News total chaos ensued.
"A couple kids were shoving and pushing and people started throwing shoes at each other. Someone threw a sign over someone's head," Eyewitness Brianne Bee said.
Customers inside the store said the incident lasted between five to 10 minutes.
A 16-year-old girl was arrested for allegedly kicking a 15-year-old boy in the face as other teens held him down outside the store. The 15-year-old is listed in stable condition at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Similar to the "flash mobs" near South Street in June 2009, investigators believe Tuesday's brawl might have been organized on the internet.
According to investigators, many of the teens involved in the incident attend Simon Gratz High School.
All of the teens are facing charges of disorderly conduct, while some are facing assault charges.
No innocent bystanders were injured. The incident remains under police investigation.
The opportunities of tomorrow obviously come at the expense of the tax payer, who pony up hundreds of thousands of dollars each year so that these students can eat and then run amok throughout the streets of Philadelphia and obstructing the shopping habits of Macy’s customers.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like is saddened by the exploits of Simon Gratz finest students, for the education they are provided is preparing them for only one opportunity: jail.
Worse, it was Black people’s dislike of snow and errant snowballs that drove them into the frenzy at Macy’s to begin with. Always consult SBPDL before engaging in behavior detrimental to your health.
Black people don't like the snow. They especially don't like errant snowballs thrown haphazardly in the general vicinity of where they might be located, if in fact that Black person is in the unfortunate realm where snow is accumulating.
Case in point, as of the 2000 census, the United States has 36 million Black people comprising roughly 13 percent of the total population. A staggering 54 percent of all Black people live in the south, and these states are known for producing hot temperatures and are routinely devoid of snow in the winter months. Convenient for Black people and conducive to pleasant winters that lack any errant snowballs.
This link will take you to a rundown of Black people's percentage of each state in the union. Notice the colder the state, the near single digit percentage of Black people.
It is said April is the cruelest month, but Black people know that December through February are much worse and supplant T.S. Elliot's prose with its frosty temperatures. A handful of dust won't cause dismay among Black people, but a handful of snow will do the trick.
Sadly, these facts of Black people and their complete disregard for snow, cold weather state-less living and errant snowballs add up to a simple conclusion - they don't like to be cold.
Thus, when Byrant Gumbel complained about the lack of Black people participating in the 2006 Winter Olympics, he was missing important variables that point to this simple truth:
"Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t like them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying, maybe over the next three weeks we should all try too. Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing.
So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention. Try not to point out that something’s not really a sport if a pseudo-athlete waits in what’s called a kiss-and-cry area, while some panel of subjective judges decides who won ... So if only to hasten the arrival of the day they’re done, when we can move on to March Madness — for God’s sake, let the games begin."
ESPN - the sports channel that dedicates its program allowance to spoiling Black people with continuous highlights of Black people dunking basketballs and philandering - finds scare air time to discuss hockey, let alone showcase the exploits of white people performing in the Winter Olympics.
Thus, Gumbel is correct to point out the paucity of Black people at Winter Olympics, but he is misguided in failing to indicate why this occurs. Nations that have non-indigenous Black people in them - the United States, Canada and other European countries - find it difficult to locate Black people who dare venture out into the cold and participate in sporting events that require snow to be on the ground.
In Africa, where they're exist nations that have a plentiful amount of indigenous Black people, snow is a resource difficult to come by and thus, fielding Winter Olympic teams is fools dream (Thankfully, the Jamaican's never fail to dream and field a bobsled team, with the end result being hilariously charming).
So yes, Black people find the Winter Olympics nauseating and Gumbel did articulate the monolithic view of the quasi-sporting contest that Black people have of the games, but it took the eloquent statement of a fellow Black person to qualify why:
"Interest in sporting activities are often dictated by environment. That's why Nordic and European countries have excelled in past Winter Olympics," said Project 21 member Deneen Moore. "It's a simple fact that winter sports are not part of black culture for both geographic and economic reasons. Accessibility, affordability and motivation are key requirements for individuals to excel in sport activities, not the color of one's skin. Mr. Gumbel should be aware of these obvious facts and not try to score cheap racial political points."
The Winter Olympics does give credence the theories of the Ice People vs. The Sun People and worse, that paucity of Black people means that it will be white people who take home all of the gold (thankfully, a Leprechaun is rumored to reside in Mobile). It is sports, mind you, that provide the only positive images of Black people in America and, that point, helped pave the way for the election of Mein Obama. The Winter Olympics, with the complete lack of Black athletes, flies directly in the face of this dictum and dares to give white people other heroes to worship and cheer for that aren't Black!
Black sporting heroes knocked down the door of Jim Crow in the south and ushered in an era of false equality that loosely still exists, but the Winter Olympics - and the paucity of Black athletes in competition for the medals - erodes the white confidence in Black superiority in athletics:
Not that the Winter Olympics reflect the wider world, which is a majority people of color. Let's face it: Ethiopians may make great marathoners, but they don't do well in curling. A Jamaican bobsled team was so hilarious it became the punch-line of a Hollywood movie. The Winter Olymics are a festival of whiteness—on the ground and on the winners' platform.
But it's when the Olympics try for relevance that they turn the corner into imbecility. Seeing the addition of xtreme sports in a frantic attempt to hold onto that elusive young male viewer is like your uncle Jakie in Ft. Lauderdale wearing a backward baseball cap and showing ass crack through his Sean Johns.
Black people know the truth: without images of Black people running with the football, dunking basketballs and sometimes excelling at baseball, the United States of America would be deprived of any positive images of Black people.
Thus, even though snow is abundant at the winter games and yes, errant snowballs and the temperature isn't high, Stuff Black People Don't Like includes the Winter Olympics because of the paucity of Black people.
If Black people competed, Black people would watch. Black people don't compete, so Black people tune out of the coverage NBC provides and pray for the Winter Olympics to end, so that Black dominance of sports and positive images of Black can continue to perpetuate uninhibited.
Of course, some Black people have had success at the Winter Olympics, but this is treated much like a man biting a dog story would be:
Chicago isn't just the home of R. Kelly, Twista, and Kanye West. We can now add Shani Davis to the list of historic Black men coming from Chi-Town. That's not only because he holds the world record in the 1500-meters and Allround Points in 2005, but he has made Olympic history by becoming the first African-American to win an individual gold medal in the Winter Olympics.
Vonetta Flowers was the first black athlete (male or female)--from any country--to ever win an Olympic Winter Games gold medal. In the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Vonetta and Jill Bakken drove USA to an Olympic gold medal, ending the United States' 46-year medal drought in bobsled. The 2-woman bobsled team's time was 1 minute 48 seconds.
Black people don't the Winter Olympics for reasons that make sense: cold, errant snowballs and a lack of Black people competing, thereby challenging the long-held assumption that Black people are superior at athletics.
Our friends at theroot.com have proven our point: a handful of Black people have competed in the white Olympics, yet regardless of nationality, Black people cheer for fellow Black people excelling in the Winter Olympics (or in most cases, merely participating).
Washington DC is a town known for safety. However, Black people are already known not to like the snow and have a difficult time discerning the myriad complexities of gun safety.
Now, combine snow with gun safety and put these two combustible Black elements into Washington DC and you have a recipe for an ultimate SBPDL.
Black people have long been incapable of cooperating with the police, and this difficulty is exasperated exponentially when a Black person is the one carrying around the badge. There are many competent Black police officers in the United States (Chief Moose and Carl Winslow come to mind), and yet the power of the law in their hands leads to a crippling arrogance that, when compounded with high levels of snow fall and a massive snow ball fight, spells trouble:
WASHINGTON — Washington's police chief criticized a veteran detective Monday for pulling a gun during a mass snowball fight. Authorities said the officer is on desk duty while the case is under investigation.
Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said she had watched video clips from the weekend confrontation and has no doubt that the off-duty officer pulled his gun after snowballs hit his personal vehicle during Saturday's record snowfall.
"Let me be very clear in stating that I believe the actions of the officer were totally inappropriate!" Lanier said in a statement. "In no way should he have handled the situation in this manner."
When you click on this story, it takes you to a Fox News link (remember, Black people don't like Fox News, even though the network does little to encourage racism. Here, they picture a white cop with the story who was trying to get the bottom of the event, for a Black detective became irate when he was pelted with numerous snow balls).
A better story can be found here, which delineates the race of the individual who became noticeably offended by the icy projectiles that were flung his way:
"Washington, D.C. police are investigating reports that a detective brandished his gun during a mass snowball fight on a city street after an Internet video surfaced that appears to show the incident.
Police said Monday they were looking into reports that a plainclothes officer pulled a gun after he and his personal car were hit by snowballs. Police say witness accounts and videos from the scene appeared to support the claims.
Hundreds of people were involved in the snowball fight during Saturday's record snowstorm.
Sadly, this Black police who had a difficult time cooperating with snow balls and goofy white liberals (watch the video and tell us these aren't the kind of goofy white people that Stuff White People Like bashes) has been reprimanded:
"A Washington, D.C., police detective has been put on desk duty after pulling out his gun during a snowball fight Saturday.
The off-duty detective, whose name has not been released, was driving past a snowball fight in the city when his Hummer was hit by snowballs. He allegedly stopped the car, got out, and took out his gun. He also pulled out a walkie-talkie and called for backup.
Most of the incident was caught on video and quickly posted to YouTube.
According to an eyewitness, a D.C. Police detective (pictured above with gun) went nuts after kids pelted his Hummer with snowballs at 14th and U Streets NW this afternoon. The veteran detective got out of his car and eventually grabbed for his gun, displaying it to the crowd. He did not immediately identify himself as a police officer. He calmed down once his fellow uniformed cop arrived."
Black people don't like the snow and worse, they find the idea of balls of snow being utilized as weaponry offensive to the rules of civilized war and thus it is incumbent upon them to brandish guns in retaliation for this grievous insolence on the part of goofy white liberals in Washington DC:
A plainclothes police detective allegedly pulled his gun out and waved it at a large group of people in a snowball fight at the corner of 14th and U streets NW Saturday afternoon.
An off-duty member of the Metropolitan Police Dept. was reportedly driving his personal car in the area when the car was suddenly pelted with a barrage of snowballs, according to a statement from the MPD.
The detective stopped his car, got out and approached a crowd of people that might have thrown the snowballs. He then got into a verbal fight with members of the crowd, according to police.
Stuff Black People Don't Like includes errant snowballs, for if an officer of the law can be put in an untenable situation where only a gun can even the score, then it is wise to refrain from throwing snowballs at any Black people. Ever. As the goofy white liberals in the video state, "Don't bring a gun to a snowball fight," unless of course, you will be in a snowball fight in a majority Black city. Then, you might need one.
Sadly, a snowball fight in Philadelphia did become lethal over this Christmas season in Philadelphia. RIP Teven Rutledge.
A 10-year-old girl is fighting for her life after a man whose daughter was hit with a snowball returned and sprayed bullets into a group of children.
Joseph Best, 32, was arrested in Philadelphia and remanded on charges including attempted murder.
Ebony Smith, who police say was not involved in the snowball fight, is said to be in a critical condition with a head wound.
Best's daughter was hit with a snowball as she and her friends walked past a group of girls having a "friendly snowball fight", said Captain Charles Bloom of Philadelphia police.
A scuffle then broke out among the dozen or so girls, aged from 10 to 15. The groups soon parted ways, but Best returned with an older daughter and another brawl erupted, this time between adult relatives of both groups.
Police broke up that fight, but said Best came back again hours later, leaned out the passenger side of a moving car and fired at least five shots into the group of children still playing on the street. Authorities are trying to determine who was driving.
Police said the girl who was shot had been inside a house during the scuffles.
"This little girl had nothing to do with anything. She wasn't involved in the fight," Capt Bloom said. "He just seemed to be randomly shooting into the crowd."
It's just never a good idea to throw a snowball in the direction of Black people, regardless of what race you might belong too.
