So I finally decided to come here and look at your website, after literally 3 months of you talking about it Valley Bobs. Nice job, I do not know if this is a compliment but this is very white. Good job and ill let you know if I passed my license test.
Sincerely, the only Jewish kid who got your theater and 80s references.
Hi Aydrea!
Love the site and the pictures look great! can you e-mail me some of the photos so i can have them for my portfolio? let me know! fun working with you!
Ok, so I’m sure someone has to have thought of this idea before. But is there a dating website out there, that specializes in people like us? Its so hard to find black women that can relate and be on the same level as myself. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Otherwise, I have found a few Oreo havens in town. I’ll only share what they are under oath that we’ll coordinate schedules so as not to darken their doorstep with too many of us at once. Otherwise, it’ll look like a black thing.
I like your interview on C.O.W. You were great! I would love to have you on my radio show “Racial Harmony Live”. I think you were a blast on The C.O.W.’s. I hope you check out my book “Life Through The Eyes Of An Interracial Couple”
by Steve A. White and Ruth B. White. I look forward to hearing from you.
Oh. My. Bob.
As a fellow oreo, I have to say your blog is BRILLIANT.
I’ve been sitting down reading it for an hour straight.
And as a 17-year-old girl in Texas, I kind of have to find a dose of racial narcissism to get me through the week.
Thank you so, so much for creating this blog.
And an afterthought: You have excellent musical tastes. If I ever see some My Chem or A7X on here, I’ll faint. XD
Wow. Thanks for the links. My favorite part about yahoo answers are the incredibly sincere, almost thoughtful, often philosophical responses to crazy, crazy questions.
So playing tennis, and listening to opera makes someone an oreo? or maybe I should say plazaying tennis and listening ta opera makes someone an oreo, yo? Just because the majority of whites do it doesn’t mean we’re not suppose to do it. To say that blacks aren’t suppose to listen to rock, opera, play tennis, violin wear certain clothes, read certain books, eat certain food or talk a certain way actually sounds that someone is being racist and placing limitations on me. Oh and did you know there’s nothing wrong with a black person listening to classical music since there have been black composers,classic instrument players and in opera and rock. So it’s not always a white thing. I’m not trying to insult your website, but you should be careful about what you say. By the way I like your white people to the rescue video, I agree completly.
I also really don’t believe in using the term Oreo to define a black person who likes to do things that most caucasian people would be seen doing since you can be true to your black heritage and still listen to Bon Jovi, and Metallica for example. Working hard is esecially important to black pride; I don’t believe in affirmative action because it demeans us all. To me if someone is an oreo it means they are trying to ACT what they THINK is white behaviour, but there is no such thing as acting white or black since it really depends on the environment someone was raised in
A lot of the things you have posted here are really funny, but sometimes it seems that you dislike being black. Just because you like certain things doesn’t make you an Oreo, it makes you well rounded and open minded. I too have more caucasian friends than the typical african american, but I never see the need to completely denounce my race either. I always figured that if I was a good person, I would be surrounded by good people. Sometimes in certain posts you come across as judgmental ( especially the Obama stuff) but I guess that’s what all that freedom of speech hoopla is about huh? LOL… Well that’s my 2 cents! Good luck in all that you do!
She really does seem to have a unhealthy case of Colonial Mentality. She seems to enjoy worshiping white folks and seems to think herself different of “RBP”, which is a horribly elitist and offensive acronym btw. I’m proud of her relatively successful lifestyle and writing flare but could she turn down the self-hate some. Many who read this blog has been called an Oreo because society tells us our behavior is more white then black, many label themselves as a term of affection but she seem to want Oreo to be her whole identity. I bet she would orgasm at the idea of being called Oreo-American instead of black.
I like your blog. Having given countless waking hours to Morrissey, Mahler and Merchant-Ivory, I consider myself to be something of a DOUBLE STUFF. Anyhow, I appreciate you giving an appropriately ironic voice to the madness that is being an intelligent, open-minded black person in an environment that often fosters neither trait.
Oh, and thanks again for totally validating my marital choice the other night at the IO.
If you’re trying to seem melanin deprived, where are the hunting references? There’s nothing quite like duck hunting or fox hunting and then going back to the lodge for drinks. Of course this would present the challenge of fostering a good first impression while both being melanin gifted and hold a gun, but you do well with challenges. Naturally, the right attire will help.
I also thought you might appreciate a social networking page a relative became a fan of, “Stop saying I am trying to be white just because I am black and speak proper English.” Or not.
Was looking at good hunting saddles this weekend. And I think one can get away from dark folks/gun issues when that gun is a period-appropriate musket…or was used by the South in the War of Northern Aggression.

Grammercy, sir! Please do let me know how the test turns out and I shall raise a cup of mead in your honour!

THIS IS AWESOME! I laugh. I cry. I scream. This blog site brings truth and love to my soul! Great job!
TRUE GENIUS!
Oy. Disheartening, but I figured this would be something of interest to you. Yahoo! Answers is full of idiots, truly.
