My neighbors and I are hosting a black party for our street in a lower middle class suburban neighborhood. What are some things that we should have at this party?
Sausage rolls.
>>22009239guns
definitely fried chicken and watermelon
COCA COLA!!!!!
>>22009239Buldak Ramyun Noodles by Samyang is always a good choice. I recommend Carbonara (the pink package) for first-timers.
>>22009239rubenesque caucasian women
>>22009239lawry's seasoned salt
Unironically black people like watermelons (I live in a mostly black area) but if you're very very white (culturally) it might be a little questionable to roll out a cooler full of sliced watermelon upon arrival in a black neighborhood because, depending on the way you frame it, it could be considered a stereotype or an attempt at making a joke about black people foodPotato salad, mac n cheese, bratwurst, burgers, grilled chicken, I'd probably go with something like that
loaded nachos
>>22009239devilled eggs easy mode, just slop the shit in a giant bowl and add a fuckton of crusty bread slices to spread or dip
Beef ribs in bbq sauce, bags of takis, sides of mac n cheese.
>>22009239
>>22009239uzis
>>2200923940oz of malt liquor, crack, Hennessy, ham hock, baked Mac and cheese, fried okra
>>22009239Wait...So when my coworkers say they had a block party, THIS is what they mean?Holy shit. Here I was getting all jealous and shit. Thanks again 4chan!
>>22009239There is something about "conversation circles" that is incredibly unattractive. Everyone involved loses 2 or 3 points.
>>22009387You have no friends at all, do you.
>>22009260Had a conversation with my mutt friend about thisThe whole "watermelon and fried chicken is racist" trope is bullshit, cause again, the combo is AMAZING. Hot, salty protein paired with a cool, sweet fruit on the side? 10/10. Are we supposed to start getting angry when someone brings sauerkraut with bratwursts too?People have to stop being so sensitive ffs (not you specifically, just people in general)
>>22009484The whole world is my enemy.
>>22009874that means you're the problem.time to get a rubber room and a slot for the food tray, anon.
>>22009244
>>22009239>OH N--
>>22009484Fuck you bitch. You don't know anything about me
>>22009866Yeah people who get offended over food are morons. Or virtue signaling. Usually both.
>>22009866Your response actually serves as a great example of the contrast I'm talking about. You're looking for a way to express disrespect without being called out on it, and so you are always on the lookout for loopholes, apparent inconsistencies, and weak rules that you can game, because your intention is not to connect but rather to be a dick and then say "oh you're being so oversensitive, ha ha, gotcha! I am very smart!"To reiterate what I already said: watermelon COULD be considered disrespectful, depending on you. In your case, I would advise against it, because you seem like the kind of guy who just radiates disrespect everywhere he goes. So even if you had the best intentions (which you do not), it may not go over very well.Bratwurst would be a good analogy if this was like, an allied country in the 1940s and ethnic germans were perceived as a threat or a subversive element. Possibly, it would be received as a gesture of kindness. Or, it might be seen as a subtle threat. It really depends on the person giving the food.Just like with words, some things with food have more or less baggage associated with them, depending on the person using them, and their perceived intentions. Like a weak version of the n-word. It can be used in a friendly way, in certain contexts. Or it can be seen as hurtful, disrespectful, or even threatening. It depends on too many things for there to be a simple hard and fast rule. Which is why people often just say "white people shouldn't use the n-word". That's not really always the case, but it's simpler than trying to spell out a strict set of rules that always work for all people in all situations. Because obviously, there will be people like you who will try to game the rules, so you can start trouble and then accuse the other side of that which you are guilty of.

I live in America, I'm from Europe and I used to date a black girl from the American South.My mother came from the old country to visit once and during her stay, we went to a mall. She was hungry so we stopped at the food court, which had a fried chicken place. She was upset my ex wouldn't eat the fried chicken with her. We tried to explain the chicken and watermelon stereotype and how she'd eat both at home and loves them but she's just about the only black person in that mall right now, surrounded by white people, and she didn't want to look like a stereotype."Basically, I'm worried about looking like a nigger."And without skipping a beat, my mum replied in her broken English >then call me a nigger because those things are delicious and I'll eat them when I wantThat kind of took my ex aback but she knew how it was meant to come across (as "who cares what people think? do you") and being who she is, my mother speaks plainly.
>>22009239Pinwheels.
>>22010345The fried chicken stigma comes from a hilariously racist old silent film where after the american civil war, negroes (actually white actors in blackface) are allowed to be in parliament and they all have their feet up on the table and are making a huge mess eating fried chicken and throwing the bones everywhereLater there is a depiction of a gang rape of a white woman by a group of freedmenMost people today don't even know the film but the lore and its resentment have been passed through the generations
>>22009239>My neighbors and I are hosting a black party>black partyFreudian slip.You already know what to expect, just stay inside and lock your door.
>>22010344I laughed quite a bit
>>22010189Fuck you bitch
>>22009256yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
>>22010325>kill yourself and every other piece of shit over sensitive garbage "human" i have to share this planet with>better yet just blow the whole piece of shit up>sick and god damned tired of you useless sacks of crap excuse for a species
>>22010325You're responding to an AI post.
>>22009239>lower middle classKnoxville TN?
>>22010163You are fundamentally right and I agree with your points (all of which book down to life ° subjective experience). However, i perceive you are reading a bit too much into the anon. I doubt this guy >>22010325 is the same anon. But, if he is, then that response speaks for itself
>>22010325>>22011039Very normal and very sane responses
Balsamic vinegar spinach salad. Mostly everyone will grab a bowl so the can eat the junk food guilt free. The vinegar aids digestion too.
>>22011039/pol/ has rotted your mind
Went door to door and passed out flyers tonight. Everyone was super happy to hear that there was going to be a party. We will take pics of our block party when it happens. Thank you /ck/ for all of the recommendations.
I really cant imagine something like this in my neighborhoodWould never, ever, ever happen as its low trust and "diverse" like most American neighborhoods now
>>22010325alium>>22009239lasagna
>>2201034437/51
>>22009239aerial fireworks, but dont use the launch tube, just set them on the ground. preferably in full daylight. ohh and 6 pounds of pasta, 1 minced bell pepper, 2 pieces of pepperoni minced, and 4 whole black olives in a giant foil pan, drizzle a quart of oil over it and serve with the smallest spoon you have.
>>22009239Put out the most disgusting things like uncooked tripas or soil in steam trays and dumb shit like entire heads of lettuce fuckin jello with banana peels in it then sit back and laugh if anyone actually eats anything out of politeness.
>>22009381Sounds kino
>>22012296My block is pretty fucking diverse and we throw cookouts and block parties all the time. We're having one today, in fact, a belated Cinco de Mayo.It has nothing to do with diversity. I'm a quarter Asian, my wife is Indian, there's a Pakistani guy down the street and his half Japanese, half Colombian wife, an Indonesian guy and his Pinay wife, an Indonesian family, a Chinese family, a Japanese family, several Jews, an African girl, an African family, one greaseball eye-tie family, a black couple and a literal gypsy woman who teaches something worthless at the liberal arts college down the street. There are Jews, a Greek Orthodox guy, Catholics, Protestants, a Muslim, Shinto/Buddhists, a Hindu, Quakers and a few irreligious folks so it's diverse in faith, too.My guess? It simply has to do with whether or not you like who you live around, is all. >>22012469LMAOThe gypsy woman did pretty much that at the cookout last weekend lolI never had a pasta salad with peppers in it. I just mirepoix that shit, use vegetable stock powder as seasoning and add peas and a little mayonnaise.
>>22010353Actually I think it probably comes from the fact that blacks certifiably love fried chicken and literally can't act civilised even if their lives depended on it.
>>22009239A big bowl of sangria so everyone can get pissy drunk!
>>22009239Grilled corn
>>22010345Did they call her a nigger?
>>22009239lawry's seasoning salt and kfc and watermelon and grape kool aid and 9v batteries
Visited HEB to get block party supplies. Too many people there at once.Wife got mad
>>22010163Why do you type like a 14 year old pseud?
>>22012872Because, Holden, you're still in high school and going through an edgy phase, so everything is "phony".
>>22012890Do you take pride in being wrong about everything?
>>22012499> Eye-tieWhat is that?
>>22012499Dear God. That sounds fucking grim
>>22013275What would sound better?
>>22013278Your final gasps of breath.
Can’t wait to bring HEB potato salad to the block party
>>22013030Eye-tie-in.
>>22009239This looks mexican. I like it>What are some things that we should have at this party?Ask them, bro. They have phones, there's a lot of ways of doing a poll
Beer........ lots of BEER.
>>22009246> black party
Passed out more flyers. Can’t wait to take pics and display them here.
>>22009866fuck you mean by 'you people'
>>22012499When whites say "diverse" they just mean "people who aren't white". You could have a block where everyone is siblings and if they're black it's "diverse"That's why the most "diverse" city in the US is fucking Houston and not, like, Queens or something
Can’t wait to post our block party pics. Going to be so much fun
>>22017476look in the mirror, you'll see
Tomorrow is the block party. Going to be soooo much fun! Can’t wait to share pics so that /ck/ can criticize the food offered.
>>22017718>Asians, blacks, Colombians, Greeks, Italians, Africans, gypsies, Pakistanis, Indians and Jews aren't "people who aren't white"Good to know, Miguelito.
the humble "4 bottles of costco sangria"
>>22021435Man your reading comprehension fucking sucks, is this the new AI brainrot I keep reading about? There was a viral video where people would show high school kids a basic sentence and they'd get mad because they couldn't read it and were embarrassed.

Sooon!
More ice is coming but this is the cooler for the block party.
>>22022661>SafewayYou're that Safeway shillfaggot, aren't you?

>>22009239I hope your block party goes well OP
>>22022858post pictures of the actual food you tease
>>22012286>those bbq chicken wings
i live alone and none of my neighbors are ever really outside. i kinda know one chick that lives next to me, at least have her number, and the guy across the street has come by to tell me i've left my garage door open, and offered me food after an injury. sometimes some kids play in the street, but not much.i can't imagine living in a neighborhood where people talk to each other, much less a block party. everyone is always inside.
>>22023104It's gotta start with someoneIf you're interested, make some flyers and stick em in mailboxes this summer. Or make a post on Nextdoor or some shit
>>22023104>i kinda know one chick that lives next to me, at least have her number>the guy across the street has come by to tell me i've left my garage door open, and offered me food after an injury>i can't imagine living in a neighborhood where people talk to each otherI've got some news for you...
>>22023111i guess i'm not that particularly interested, i have my own friends and shit that i get out to, but i keep to myself at home. i've just grown up in the southwest, and everyone's so private. it's hot as fuck and no one has lawns, so there's no reason to be outside. you drive to wherever you're going.
>>22023104A lot of people are desperate for community now a days. Its a lot easier then you would think to get people talking. The real problem is maintaining the relationships because that means you gotta acknowledge them consistently even if you aren't talking to them. Kids makes it a lot easier because the kids wanna hang out with each other which just naturally pushes you to engage with community but people have less kids now.
>>22023113i've owned this house for like 15 years. knowing two people isn't particularly impressive. the woman whose number i have, i don't even know the names of the rest of her family. the guy who told me about my garage/brought food... i don't know his name, and he doesn't know mine. i've never really spoken to the rest of his family. my neighbors to my left only speak spanish. i don't know their names, they don't know mine. there's plenty of other houses right in range where i literally don't even know what the people who live there look like. like, the people who live directly across the street - i've never seen once. i see their cars move around, but i have never once seen a human come or go.
>>22023121yeah, i don't have kids. the neighbor kid asked me if i "wanted to see something cool (he) found" when i was coming back in with my mail last week, but a single adult male shouldn't be talking to a young kid, so i politely said no thanks and got inside before the parents would feel weird.he was likely trying to molest me or try to sell me life insurance, so better safe than sorry.
>>22022858You're incredible, OP. this is the best kind of post on 4chan: somebody doing something cool and sharing it. Not only that, you're a good neighbor
>>22023104I moved from a mostly dominican building to a mostly black american building and the blacks are very noticeably friendlier, which is not something I really expected given the stereotypes about hispanics being cartoonishly extroverted all the time. All of my black neighbors say hi. The dominicans just stared at me like I was from outer space and ignored my attempts to say hi. And yes the blacks have block parties. I didn't think this existed in real life, but it does.For context I look "ethnic" but you wouldn't know what kind without asking. I certainly don't look white. Hispanics sometimes assume I'm one of them and get upset when I don't respond in a perfect representation of their regional dialect.But I do think there is something wrong with caribbean hispanics, because mexicans, guatemalans, colombians, and ecuadorians have always been nice. But caribbeans carry around this weird attitude. Cubans for sure, dominicans too, puerto ricans less so. Not always, but as a community behavior, it really do be that way. I don't really understand it and it is not often discussed in the mainstream media.
>>22023129do not praise him until he posts the food. he is going to try to get out of this without posting the food at all. i know his game.
>>22023137totally makes sense. i'm a standard white dude living in semi-suburbia in a major city, and while plenty of my neighborhood is still white, my neighbors to my left are some flavor of hispanic and i think multigen, my neighbors across the street on one side are indian and multigen, dunno about the others across the street, and my neighbors to my right are blended samoan/hawaiian/white and multigen. there's only a 2-3 people to the six homes to my left and right that i think own their homes as individuals, like me. it's not based in racism at all, it's a cool, mostly safe place.just private. i wave at cars passing by when i come and go as a courtesy, but i recognize the cars more than the drivers.
>>22023141He deserves it for the drinks and snack tables even if he doesn't come through on some delicious home cooking
