mental preservation? thats the worst excuse i’ve ever heard for acting like a jackass. i went to school @ a school where EVERYBODY “kept it real”. thats why it annoys me when people like this go from bryant gumble to odb when its convenient for them.
oh boohoo billy was high school hard for ya man? you know sometimes black people arent thugs or from the hood and dont try to be. that seems real to me
I’m black and I grew up in the mean Alberta suburbs. I don’t think I’d be able to keep a straight face if I started to dress like all the black people I know who, in the parlance of our times, “Keep it real” do. I Know that they all grew up just as comfortably upper-middle class as I did.
I’m not hood, the kids I grew up with were not hood, so why should i dress hood?
Why is EVERY black person supposed to be “hood” and if they’re not then they get railed on for being a Bonky/blipster/Uncle Tomsinstead of just some dude/ette who came from a time/place and reflects that?
I, as a whipster, do not take issue with any bonky even if they have 2+ accents/styles/vocabularies which change depending on the cultural realm they are circulating. Even if they are just speaking “english” it is a form of bilingualism.
@ 17, all your point proves is that it’s a class thing, not a race thing. rich blacks (like you) are the same as rich whites, in that they lack any feeling of self-satisfaction (via being handed everything in life), so they attempt to differentiate themselves from their parents by means of fashion/music/lifestyle/etc. in order to give their meaningless lives some sense of purpose. poor blacks, like poor whites, live in communities so inherently dangerous (albeit for different reasons), that they need to basically conform (read “keep it real”) or be abused/robbed/swindled/killed. so you’re right: you’re not an “uncle tom”, you’re a cake-eating baby
WTF has race got to do with this pic? anybody wearing those clothes deserve to be sentenced to life inside a NJ mall with nothing but Black Eyed Ps playing. somebody get me some Febreeze to get the smell offa the street.
I HATE YOU ALL. Why must we smoke crack, be skanky, and not speak correctly to be black. fuck me. fuck stereotypes. and fuck everyone of you pseudo tolerant assholes.
I’m be willing to concede that it’s a class thing but to a point. It seems that you’re implying that poor whites who try to “differentiate themselves from their parents by means of fashion/music/lifestyle/etc” would be treated the same as their black counterparts.
Or are you trying to say that my privileged (totally not ashamed to admit that my life has been a fucking cakewalk compared to oh…90% of north americans/98% of the world) ‘reactionary’ self-differentiation is taken on the same level as a white persons?
I mean, of course, it’d be a fuckin’ no brainer to dismiss class as a factor in anything, but it’s just as short-sighted to dismiss race.
The term “oreo” has been around since the 70s at least. And black kids used to take that real hard, usually tear up and pout. I once asked a black kid why they called white people “honkies”. He said it was because white people honk real loud when they blow their noses, but black people, having big nostrils, don’t. I liked that explanation because it made actual sense.
It says a fucking lot how a picture of a black person can’t be posted on this site without a back and forth about what black people should and shouldn’t be.
The bull dyke, no.thanks and 17 got it right. Don’t be butthurt billy cocks, if it bothers you so much, I’d suggest you take it up with the 0 black/minority friends it obviously seems you have.
all social commentary aside, the word Bonky is fuckin funny.
Does that mean that Pee Wee Herman’s robot with the ghetto blaster head was the original Bonky/Uncle Ben Jemimah Tom?
So then what term would you use to describe black kids that dress
White kids from the 80′s?
Wigger was a perfect term albeit rasict. But anyone that knows a Wigger would know there is no better way to describe them. Except for master wig.
If it was a black guy in a collared shirt and jeans. He wouldn’t be a bonky, because that is something that universally normal and cross racial. So no, black people do not need to dress all ghetto and thugish to be black.
It’s just when the dress like white kids from the 80′s or white hipsters they has to be a term to describe that.
I think bonky does a great job. Blipster just makes me think of blimpies and then sandwiches, which may be more racist.
Nhites might works , but that might be touch for Africans
Blipsters.
i’m offended
“blipster” is a better term.
in the caribbean, a “bonky” is a booty…
and that definition is deeply ingrained and tough to get past.
Bonkies has me rolling on the floor, and i think would quite possibly get ya killed said to the wrong meth’d out hy fy ‘g’
these aren’t ‘bonkies’ or whatever, this is jus normal black ppl.
na na na, those black people get weird looks from normal black people.
Those kids get good grades and talk like Barack Obama.
yo jucifer, i know you are joking and all (and I did laugh), but i still think you should kiss a bag of dicks. these are normal black people.
^^^no they ain’t.
man. sometimes white people really get on my nerves. I really just can’t get past it sometimes. Anybody know any good therapists? Wait. Nevermind.
GOOD WORD im using it tonite
these are the black people that act black when they need to “keep it real”, and grow up to be people like barack obama and oprah.
talking to a white person
::stiff white person walk:: hey there john, how in the heck ya doin?
then a ghetto black person walks by…
::cool swag:: yoooo niggah wassup?
oreos my friend, oreos

bill cox…….its called mental preservation. all minorities do it.
you are the white guy that gets totally freaked the fuck out when the blacks who “keep it real” walk next to you.

Prince called, said “Take my damn shirt off. Damn.”
All the Pandas in China just called to tell that Donna Summers midget the same thing.
Chuck Taylor just weighed in . . . guess what he said.
how come white people are the only ones that can dress like morons?!!! Racial Equality for EVERYONE who wants to be a douchebag scenester!
I HATE YOU ALL. Why must we smoke crack, be skanky, and not speak correctly to be black. fuck me. fuck stereotypes. and fuck everyone of you pseudo tolerant assholes.
@ Cpt. Obvs:

The only way these kids could look stupider would be if they were wearing promise rings or holding a Creed CD.
BLAH BLAH BLAH….The guy in this picture is sexy!All that other stuff yall talking bout don’t even matter.
nignogs

White people like you will be all gone in the next 40 years…chew on that.

I just think it’s funny that cultural commentary happens on a section of a site with the theme “street boner.”
