BREH. We could start a whole thread on the drama that pops off when black families get together for events.
At my granddad's funeral, my uncle, who is a wannabe preacher was NOT asked to read the eulogy, but was asked to read a very brief scripture. He's also real goofy, so picture the dad from Meet the Browns getting real deep all of a sudden on some smart dumb shyt. He took the eulogy thing as a slight, and hijacked like 45 minutes of the service with black Israelite shyt that had nothing to do with nothing.
Now this was a hot ass deep Georgia church, aunties were passing out and everyone had tears in their throat still, so nobody was in the mood for that shyt
My uncle was like
Had to literally take the mic from him. No fukks given. Granddadd raised a lotta the people in the family, kids that were his or not, so it was already a touchy day. Let's just say Unc didn't show his face at the cookout.
Being an Afro-Latino =
The food I get to eat is![]()
What part of the region of GA are you from?
Being non latino black American... one thing I envy about Latinos is......
Absolutely nothing![]()
Oh.. and there is the way black americans cook at their family reunions too
As a foreigner I have to give them props for cornbread tho. That is one of the few things in American cuisine that makes me weak in the knees![]()
Yeah i notice that about black Americans. They take family reunions seriously. They'll travel from one coast to the other for that sh!t and they have fun doing it too. they be having group tshirts and shyt.
Caribbean blacks dont really do that. We only get together for kids parties and other holidays
PROPS
