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.

The greatest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century will be the displacement of Africans in Africa by the colonizing Chinese. Don't believe us? Just look at the amount of money, time and effort the Chinese are investing into Africa, in an effort to exploit the commodities that the indigenous Africans sadly lack the ability to exploit themselves:
In the foreground, to the northwest, sits Kariakoo, a crowded slum where Chinese merchants flog refrigerators, air conditioners, mobile phones, and other cheap gadgets from narrow storefronts. To the south lies Tanzania’s new, state-of-the-art, 60,000-seat national sports stadium, funded by China and opened in February 2009 by President Hu Jintao.
“Statistics are hard to come by, but China is probably the biggest single investor in Africa,” said Martyn Davies, the director of the China Africa Network at the University of Pretoria. “They are the biggest builders of infrastructure. They are the biggest lenders to Africa, and China-Africa trade has just pushed past $100 billion annually.”
Davies calls the Chinese boom “a phenomenal success story for Africa,” and sees it continuing indefinitely. “Africa is the source of at least one-third of the world’s commodities”—commodities China will need, as its manufacturing economy continues to grow—“and once you’ve understood that, you understand China’s determination to build roads, ports, and railroads all over Africa.”
Black people in Africa love sports, with soccer the unofficial athletic competition of the continent. The Chinese are exploiting this love by building massive stadiums in African countries in exchange for land and rights to waterways and commodities, so that the Africans don't have to play soccer on dirt fields:
Angola is not an isolated case. "The Chinese are all over the place," Trevor Ncube, a prominent African businessman with publishing interests around the continent, told the Daily Mail. "If the British were our masters yesterday, the Chinese have taken their place."
One of the tactics used by China to win friends is to build football stadiums -- 'stadium diplomacy', as it has been dubbed. According to Pitch Invasion, ' The Chinese have built or are in the process of building stadiums across a veritable A to Z of African states, including Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Djibouti, the Gambia, Liberia, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Niger, Guinea, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.'
An unfathomably vast terrain comprising 49 nations, the sub-Sahara represents nearly one-fifth of the earth's landmass. Yet its total economy is tinier than Florida's. Here, 300 million people get by on less than $1 a day. Until they don't: It is the planet's biggest tomb, where compared to the 1960s, twice as many children under the age of 5 are now dying each day from disease; a bottomless badland where $500 billion of Western aid since World War II (more than four Marshall Plans) has barely made a dent in the poverty; a region whose market share of world trade is shrinking by the hour as it gets left behind, perhaps permanently, in the dust of globalization; a place so desperate for everything -- cash, trade, investment, infrastructure -- and so powerless to negotiate strategically, that it's pretty much up for sale to the highest bidder.
During my recovery, I had time to dwell on parasites, how they invade and deplete their hosts, much as successive colonial powers have done over the centuries in places such as Africa. Anyone who thinks that kind of ravenous acquisition of resources is a thing of the past should take a close look at the suction China is applying in the sub-Sahara. The region is now the scene of one of the most sweeping, bare-knuckled, and ingenious resource grabs the world has ever seen.
The sub-Sahara is now the scene of one of the most bare-knuckled resource grabs the world has ever seen.
While America is preoccupied with the war in Iraq (cost: half a trillion dollars and counting), and while think-tank economists continue to spit out papers debating whether vital resources are running out at all, China's leadership isn't taking any chances. In just a few years, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has become the most aggressive investor-nation in Africa. This commercial invasion is without question the most important development in the sub-Sahara since the end of the Cold War -- an epic, almost primal propulsion that is redrawing the global economic map. One former U.S. assistant secretary of state has called it a "tsunami." Some are even calling the region "ChinAfrica."
There are already more Chinese living in Nigeria than there were Britons during the height of the empire. From state-owned and state-linked corporations to small entrepreneurs, the Chinese are cutting a swath across the continent. As many as 1 million Chinese citizens are circulating here. Each megaproject announced by China's government creates collateral economies and population monuments, like the ripples of a stone skimmed across a lake.
The Chinese truly believe the words uttered by Colonel Oliver in Hotel Rwanda, and undoubtedly find the war being waged by Black people in America on Asians as more proof of the need to push Africans out of Africa.
Though Asians were discriminated against in the United States of America, they have become The Model Minority. Assimilating to the dominant culture and excelling in the classroom, Asians have disproved the notion that entrenched white racism is the all-powerful detriment to minority success in America.
Cheng was just one of the nearly 300 Asian Americans who showed up at City Hall to share story after story about being assaulted, robbed and intimidated. The two hours of testimony were tearful and angry. The need to share their stories was triggered by Cheng's experience; the January beating death of Huan Chen, 83, as he left a bus station at Third Street and OakdaleTian Sheng Yu, who died after he was punched by an 18-year-old African American man in Oakland. Avenue; and
The stories highlighted what will be a difficult conversation. The speakers said they felt they were being targeted by African American teenage boys.
"I live in constant fear," Cheng wrote in her first interview, which was conducted over e-mail. "I am afraid to go out any more. I can't eat because I have no lower teeth. I have a big lump on the back of my head ... I walk with a limp and need help to move around. I am afraid I may lose my job. I came from China 20 years ago. I came because it offers its people freedom, freedom of speech, good education. How would I have imagined I would become a crime victim? I have lost confidence in America."
Asians are under attack by Black people in America
African Americans attacking Asians is a reality, said Young Kong, a local talk radio show host on a Chinese language station.
"This is a hate crime," he said. "The supervisors don't want to say it because they don't want to exacerbate the tension. They are too chicken, too politically correct."
Nevertheless, the boycott helped trigger nationwide attention to the violence against Asian students at South Philly High. Months later, a federal investigation was launched following a formal civil rights complaint filed by the Asian American Legal Defense Fund.
"It's huge," said Cecilia Chen, staff attorney for the Asian American Legal Defense Fund.
"It's basically the federal government coming in and saying that the school district has failed to protect the constitutional rights of its students, which they have an obligation to do," Chen said.
According to the complaint, "the District and the School acted with 'deliberate indifference' to the harassment against Asian students and 'intentional disregard for the welfare of Asian students'" at the school.
The Justice Department, which announced its investigation in August, has instructed the school system to improve the treatment of Asian students.
As we stated yesterday, the country deserves a better class of white people. Stuff White People Like (SWPL) whites and Untouchable whites will both call upon America to help Africa when the humanitarian crisis begins in the coming decade there. The Chinese have no illusions about the world, laughing at America as they practice Waiting for "Superman" to save those whom no amount of money or Teach for America Crusading White Pedagogues could ever help.
The date is best immortalized in a painting by Howard Pyle, and his drawing depicts an event vastly important in the history of the civilized world.
1619. The year Black people were first introduced to the North American continent and to the land that would 160 years later be the United States of America:
“On August 20, 1619, a Dutch ship arrived at Jamestown. Twenty captured Africans, who were sold as slaves at Jamestown, were on board. The initial Blacks to arrive were considered indentured servants (servants who were bound by contract), like many whites in similar circumstances. The Blacks were freed many years later, when terms of their servitude contract ended.”
“Despite a seventh straight year of improved test scores statewide, results released today show California schools failed to make a significant dent in a historically immovable achievement gap - one that leaves black and Hispanic students lagging well behind their white and Asian peers.
Based on the rate of improvement from 2003 to 2009, it would take up to 105 years to close the white/Hispanic achievement gap and at least 189 years to close the white/black gap, which has failed to narrow by even a point in English since 2003, according to scores released today.”
Asians – a term used to describe any non- European white who also has white skin – have been around in the United States for a long time. Worse, they have experienced discrimination as well, putting them at the historic disadvantage of Black people (although Black people were saddled with the chains of slavery for a few hundred years):
“In 1763, Filipinos established the small settlement of Saint Malo in the bayous of current-day Louisiana, after fleeing mistreatment aboard Spanish ships. Since there were no Filipino women with them, the Manilamen, as they were known, married Cajun and Native American women.[7]
Chinese sailors first came to Hawaii in 1778the same year that Captain James Cook came upon the island. Many settled and married Hawaiian women. Some Island-born Chinese can claim to be 7th generation. Most Chinese, Korean and Japanese immigrants in Hawaii arrived in the 19th century as laborers to work on sugar plantations. Later, Filipinos also came to work as laborers, attracted by the job opportunities, although they were limited.
Numerous Chinese and Japanese began immigrating to the U.S. in the mid-19th century for work, because of poor economic conditions in their home nations. Many of the immigrants worked as laborers on the transcontinental railroad. Although the absolute numbers of Asian immigrants in the late 19th century were small compared to that from other regions, much of it was concentrated in the West, and the increase caused some Americans to fear the change represented by the growing number of Asians. This fear was referred to as the "yellow peril." The United States passed laws such as Asian Exclusion Act and Chinese Exclusion Act to sharply restrict Asian immigration.
During World War II, the United States government declared Japanese Americans a risk to national security and undertook the Japanese American internment, authorized by President Franklin Roosevelt with United States Executive Order 9066. This controversial action forced the relocation of approximately 112,000 to 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans, taking them from the west coast of the United States to hastily constructed War Relocation Centers in remote portions of the nation's interior.
This chapter in US history was a result of war hysteria, racial discrimination, and economic competition. Sixty-two percent of those forced to relocate were United States citizens. Starting in 1990, the government paid some reparations to the surviving internees in recognition of the harm it had caused them and their families.”
Wait a second. Black people aren’t the only minority racial group in America – 5 percent of Americans are of Asian ancestry? Wait. Asians experienced discrimination at the hands of the majority as well?
Hold the presses… why aren’t Asian-Americans impacted as severely as Black people by the historical stain of racism? Could it be because they are the ultimate manifestation of the “Model Minority”, when compared to the other minority groups in the United States?:
“Model minority refers to a minorityethnic, racial, or religiousgroup whose members achieve a higher degree of success than the population average. It is most commonly used to label one ethnic minority higher achieving than another ethnic minority. This success is typically measured in income, education, and related factors such as low crime rate and high familystability. The term is often characterized as a myth which amounts to racial stereotyping.
In the United States, the term is associated with Asian Americans, primarily Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian and to a lesser extent, Vietnamese and Filipino Americans.
A common misconception is that the affected communities usually hold pride in their labeling as the model minority. Statistics are often cited to back up their model minority status such as high educational achievement, overrepresentation at Ivy League and other prestigious universities, and a high percentage of Asian Americans working in white collar professions (jobs such as medicine, investment banking, management consulting, finance, and law).”
Black people and Asians have faced discrimination in the United States (Chinese were excluded from immigrating to the United States for the fear of overwhelming the Western states in the late 1880s) and yet, crime rates among Asian-Americans are lower than whites:
Defenders of the relative accuracy and reliability of the racial demographic component of crime statistics in the US point to international crime statistics showing remarkably similar results. INTERPOL statistics on homicide, forcible rape and aggravated assault from the years 1984-1996 are reported to show the same racial disproportionality, with Asian (Mongoloid) and White (Caucasoid) populations rating consistently lower than Black (Negroid) populations.
In 1996, the rates per 100,000 were estimated at 35 for Asians, 42 for Whites and 149 for Blacks, yielding a Black rate more than 3 times the Asian or White rate.”
Black people look at the continent of Asia and the success of Asia with disbelief. These non-European, white-looking people have built a massive civilization, had tremendous success in the United States and have dealt with historical abuses from the same European-people, yet still try and act white!
Some would argue the “Model Minority” act more white than European-descended people!
The report, by New York University, the College Board and a commission of mostly Asian-American educators and community leaders, largely avoids the debates over both affirmative action and the heavy representation of Asian-Americans at the most selective colleges.
But it pokes holes in stereotypes about Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, including the perception that they cluster in science, technology, engineering and math. And it points out that the term “Asian-American” is extraordinarily broad, embracing members of many ethnic groups.
“Certainly there’s a lot of Asians doing well, at the top of the curve, and that’s a point of pride, but there are just as many struggling at the bottom of the curve, and we wanted to draw attention to that,” said Robert T. Teranishi, the N.Y.U. education professor who wrote the report, “Facts, Not Fiction: Setting the Record Straight…
The report, based on federal education, immigration and census data, as well as statistics from the College Board, noted that the federally defined categories of Asian-American and Pacific Islander included dozens of groups, each with its own language and culture, as varied as the Hmong, Samoans, Bengalis and Sri Lankans.
Their educational backgrounds, the report said, vary widely: while most of the nation’s Hmong and Cambodian adults have never finished high school, most Pakistanis and Indians have at least a bachelor’s degree.
The SAT scores of Asian-Americans, it said, like those of other Americans, tend to correlate with the income and educational level of their parents.
“The notion of lumping all people into a single category and assuming they have no needs is wrong,” said Alma R. Clayton-Pederson, vice president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, who was a member of the commission the College Board financed to produce the report.
“Our backgrounds are very different,” added Dr. Clayton-Pederson, who is black, “but it’s almost like the reverse of what happened to African-Americans.”
Yet, almost every major city has an area denoted as “Chinatown”, an ethnically homogeneous spot where Asian-Americans have crafted peaceful existences for themselves and their progeny, while building small businesses and creating an environment where their off-spring can join the American majority in the middle-class.
Another 1980s film, "The Guardian" showed life in the ghetto, and how white liberals react to it.
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes the moniker of Model Minority, for if a people who have spent nearly four hundred years on this continent alongside the white majority can’t be denoted the “Model Minority”, then Asian-American’s shouldn’t get that title either.
After all, Black people know their the "Model Minority" anyway, for McDonald's went 365 Black, not 365 Asian. Of course, crusading white pedagogues find the ability for "The Model Minority" to outpace all other racial groups grounds for concern, for positive images for this group don't require sports alone.
