Up there some places serve what they call a hard roll bread. The crust is kinda tough and they inject a butter and garlic mix into it and toast it. The whole loaf is either sliced or brought whole to the table and you rip off a chunk.
Yes, by all means, let’s talk about the issues. Pull up chair at my kitchen table.
And let’s start with a riddle.
Q: What’s the difference between brown skinned immigrants from India and brown skinned African Americans from inner city neighborhoods?
A: The Indian immigrants’ kids usually do better in school than the top 20% of White kids, while the few African American kids who do as well in school as the top 30% of White kids get ostracized by their peers for “acting White”.
Yes, but that’s because they are the victims of white people like LBJ.
Dude, try getting pulled over by two California County Sheriffs, both women, and have them try to tweek you into getting upset. And the Black Women Sheriff did the tweeking.

If you’re ‘Splaining, you’re losing...
Firstly I should say i am not an American.
But I am a keen observer of America and American Politics, my first observation into the laudable words of Joel are this.
Whilst words and phrases of love and understanding and co-operation are wonderful, just like a divorce if one party doesn’t want to comply, words or platitudes will solve nothing.
Moreover it not only requires a need to change but a DESIRE to change.
I believe after years and years of every man and his dog calling out the white people of the USA to change and help the poor down trodden minorities, the minorities themselves have shown little if any appetite to throw of the shackles of perpetual victimhood and change their own future.
I have a saying I am keen on “ attitude determines altitude” and this is true for everyone, many minorities have succeeded why?
Because they have an attitude to succeed and reject the hand out mentality and believe that strength in their family will help them all achieve a better way of life , which is why in many cases, they came to the US in the first place.
Certain minorities don’t seem to understand that success and opportunity doesn’t come from holding out your hand !
It comes from effort and education and rejecting easy options.
Joel’s words are Nice but the people who need to hear them are not listening.
I have a hoodie. But it’s a Carhartt brand.
It’s like wearing a baseball cap the way it should be worn: with the brim curved and a little ratty because you work in it.
No self-loathing homie would wear Carhartt work wear or a ‘gimme’ cap unless it had a perfectly straight brim and was immaculate.
As James Woods put it after hurricane Irma had done her worst, “Good idea to hide any cash in your work boots.”
PS A black hockey player?
Because he’s not a big man baby?
Doesn’t’ really sound too bad.
How is it?
Steak and spaghetti/angel hair is VERY underrated!!
You know your stuff :)
We all need to “take a knee’ every time a gay pride parade passes by.
Oh with any pasta? Its absolutely great. Cant leave all that sauce on the plate you know.
Ah, the food and the beaches :)
Yes, the whole world has gone insane.
If she is your niece, i’m sure she has fun but knew where to draw the line.
Heck, I was brought up knowing right and wrong and it came in handy, I think.
Quite lovely gal invited me into her house while i was on vacation. NOT that i planned on doing anything, but she had TWO kids in the house, 2 and 5!!!
I told her i’ll pass on the nightcap.
NO strange man should be going into a house with children and no other man there. And i’m as strange as they get :)
Another creation sneered at by those with their noses pointed up is meat ravioli
It can be GREAT.
Some parts Italy will throw you out if you mention it. Others make it an art.
I love it when it’s done right.
” I have been pulled over by law enforcement for no reason.”
Oh for heaven’s sake. I get so sick of this. My cousin (Caucasion) was pulled over when he was a teen for no reason. Guns drawn on him.. ordered to get out of the car. My son, also Caucasion, same thing happened to him while coming back from surfing once. Same thing happened to my husband in his 20’s. Oh wait, the police all had a reasons. My cousin was speeding, my son made an illegal right turn on a red light, and my husband, oops they got the wrong appt. All of them followed police commands! Hands up, get out of the car, walk backwards. Scary, yes. Scarring NO.
Yup. And I always ask at “other so called” Italian places if they serve their spaghetti right out of the pot. DONT YOU DARE drain it I tell them. Right out of the pot onto the plate. Let it drip off a bit..
ALL Italian and Sicilian food is out of this world if done right.
A local lady in Niagara Wisconsin has ravioli business. Two or three is all anyone can eat. She makes both cheese and meat ravs. The Crispinias still make their sauce. They had the place in Escanaba MI until one brother passed away and the other brother and his wife sold it. They now make the sauce for the new owners...or at least used to, the last I knew.
I promised not to rant in an earlier thread, but I cannot resist.
I know of eight specific examples when I was qualified for a job offer and/or promotion and not offered it because of the color of my skin and my gender (white male).
I _know_ what racism is—and racism against white people is racism.
I _know_ what sexism is—and discrimination against men is sexism.
F___ the MSM jerks that try to pretend otherwise.
Better said by you than me ;)
