I LOVE BLACK FOLK"! THERE'S NOBODY LIKE US.




With black folks, everything starts late! Everything ends late. Time is just a thang!

Black folks arrive late for weddings, funerals, and Sunday church services! And then act like they are on time!

When some black preachers can't think of what else to say during a sermon, will say, "Look at your neighbor and say, ' God loves you!"

Don't ask black folks for the precise time. They respond, "Almost a quarter after...." or a "little after two."

Black folks will eat ferociously at the family dinner, and then have the nerve to start wrappin' stuff up in foil to take home.

Black cashiers always seem to have an attitude.

Black folks sell CDs, potato chips, nabs and sodas out the trunk of their cars after church and at the football game.

Black folks have at least one person in the family who still wears a Jheri curl.
