   Reminds me of the movie White Chics starring Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans. White people make fun of black people, but there’s plenty of material in white psychology that’s cringe-worthy.
   “Ok..so she like says..ok like..that outfit doesn’t GO with your hair. And I’m like… major offended, ya know..MAJOR!”
   “OK..so he comes to pick me up in this old beat-up..like car..and I’m like thinking..there is NO WAY I am going to my Dad’s country club in That!”
   “I know two black girls who live in my dorm..and they’re like really nice. I mean they’re black..put they’re not like..ya know..ghetto black..or anything..they’re just like..like..normal people!”

   She even has the white female accent down.

   I was reminded by this blog post over at Racialicious which points out the hostility black female characters on TV often receive from predominantly white female viewers:

   I found QuietDame’s comment, which mentions the particular hatred white women show towards black female characters who are paired up with white male leads especially interesting.

   And on a related issue of white-black exchange, Chauncy de Vega has a very interesting comment on the interactions of a white woman and a black woman over the former’s fondness for the highly racist movie, Gone with the Wind — http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/05/1051984/-Race-in-Real-Life:-A-Black-Woman-and-a-White-Woman-Talk-About-Gone-With-the-Wind-And?via=spotlight

   Ignorance and lack of effort to find the truth are essential to perpetuation of the old white racial frame.
