I like chicken, greasy ribs and I like watermelon. Heck, I like grits and cornbread too. Some of my favorite music artists are Black.... I LOVE the Blues and I am even learning how top play a harmonica!
Damn, I just realized that I might be a Black man trapped in a cracker-ass body!!
Somebody PLEASE..... HELP ME!!
how top play a harmonica!= how to play an harmonica!
Like basketball and hate golf as well as have an aversion to mayonnaise, you should seek help.
True story:
My son was in the Navy going through the mess line with some buddies as they looked for a place for four to sit at in the crowded mess, but only ones or twos were available. he then said, wait here, I'll get us a spot.
He grabbed a handful of mayonnaise packets then sat down at a table of all blacks. He set the packets in front of him and started to open them up:
"You ain't going to eat that shit are you?" said one guy.
He then took it and squirted it directly into his mouth.
The table emptied.
ROFLMAO - as a *white & female* blues/jazz singer you’ve got me rolling on the floor! WHO KNEW, RIGHT??? I’m half expecting that when I (finally) get my Original Birth Certificate that it’s going to say either my mom or dad was black! ;)
This racial animosity BS is all so friggin’ STUPID! It’s got me really down lately, frankly. I thought when my Generation (born in the early 70s) were all grown up we’d be rid of all of this - how has it gotten WORSE? And how did people all fall for the hustlers? I’m disappointed in my fellow human beings for absolutely not understanding ANYTHING MLK, Jr. stood for.
In all seriousness though - who ARE these people who continually see racism in things that are COMMON to ALL AMERICANS??? (or at least those with some connection to the South - grits, cornbread, fried chicken were all regular foods in my home even up in Chicago, and it had been a few generations already since my extended family left the South.)
Anyway... Good luck on the harp playing - my Dad got me one when I was little and I never did figure it out! Check and see if in your area they have open mic/jam nights - even if you’re nowhere near performing yet, talking to folks who play could give you some valuable tips!
