Channel surfing the other night and came across Wheel of Fortune. Saw a black chick on there and i was pulling for her like some sports team. I guess it's my blackness and awareness of our struggles that makes me want to see other black folks come up.:ehh:

However, it seems the Black people have the worst luck on game shows. :snoop: After the last round, the final totals were (and usually are) something like:

Contestant #1 (cac): $18,900
Contestant #2 (Latoya): $1,300 (nonstop "bankrupt after bankrupt", "lose a turn", etc)
Contestant #3 (cac): $9,740

Do you find yourself pulling Black folks too?

Yea even tho I know they dumbass gonna lose.

We Wuz Kangs

I don't know about now, but back in the day it was rare to see a black person win at a game show.

But to the original question, my parents ingrained the "root for the black person, no matter the circumstance" philosophy.

Talking bout "We Won!!!!" whenever they got a prize.

I always bet on black off top and I look at black folk who don't with disgust instinctively. This is off topic but I remember I went to a friends house to watch the Floyd vs Pacquiao fight. It was mostly black ppl in there with 2 Latino's and they were rocking with Manny of course and there was this one breh who was rooting for Manny and I called him out and gave him the scust face throughout the night.
shyt was disheartening.

I was changing the channel last night...Family Feud with Steve Harvey was on....a black family (all women) were on and I was rooting for them cuz I am aware of our unique struggles in this country and one of the younger females on there was cute and seemed like wifey material cuz she carried herself well, was educated, had good job, etc.

Anyway...the last category (4 answers on the board)...which was do or die for each family and the category was "which sport has players that have the biggest waistlines".....and why the fuk did one of the sistas say basketball....:gucci::mindblown::stopitslime:.....I was like sista...come on. U don't have to be a sports guro to know that basketball players are generally slimmer, lanky built and more narrow around the waist to handle going back and fourth on the court and have to have endurance. And with women...I would think most women would know this by looking at the players in that way like how us dudes look at Serena Williams, Maya Moore, Candace Parker, etc.

#1 answer was Wrestling, #2 Football, #3 Baseball and the last one was Bowling

The first sista said Football which gave them control....the mama said Wrestling....but NONE of them said Baseball...and I was hoping that one would say Baseball....and of course the cac family said that and all of them was telling the man in the front to say it. Oh and nobody said Bowling cuz that was one of the hard ones that only 2 out of 100 surveyed mentioned.

But to choose a sport like basketball or soccer for players to have the biggest waistline was just a huge brain fart. Might as well say track...lol.

I was that one black kid who repped my school at the Quiz Bowl for the county

So I'm passionate about quiz games especially dealing with categories like history

Hell yeah.

When I'm at work I have the game show network on in the afternoon. Anyone ever notice that the 2 teams are always different races?
I hate when the black folk be saying dumb shyt. But I guess they be too nervous
