The sport of shin-kicking is decidedly Caucasian, evidence by the video below which is -- thankfully! -- lacking in melanin. I wonder if it's because black communities don't have access to amenities like shin-guards (straw?) and, um, shin-kicking fields, or if it's just because WE'RE NOT FRIGGIN' RETARDED.
another decidedly white sport
ReplyDeleteslap for slap
(also known as face slapping-blow for blow until someone give up).
Black people dont do this because everyone involved knows that someone will eventually feel like the other slapped too hard and its no longer a game.
*cue real fight*
incredibly, there seems to be some strange worldwide kicking fad afoot. i work in opera, and one (extremely bizarre) new trend in operatic stage direction over the past year or so seems to be for singers to be asked to kick each other (often in the shins, though not always) when their characters are upset about something. it's not just certain companies, either--sadly, it seems to be universal. i have no idea what is going on, but it looks like shit always--whether on some fancy stage or in a field with a bunch of morons with straw stuffed up their jeans.
ReplyDeletewhat in the...? and the had referees, too! wow. that right there is the reason black comedians make fun of white people- they're given sooo much material!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hay?! Pun intended...
ReplyDeleteIt's a quaint local custom handed down from the original terminally bored serfs of the region. It's not like any outside Gloucestershire has ever even asked to participate. I don't think. Chinese peasants, on the other hand, invented kung fu, so that probably tells us something.
ReplyDelete"WE'RE NOT FRIGGIN' RETARDED"
ReplyDeleteAre you aware that your statement is considered bigoted and a form of hate speech to many members of the disability community? Many of whom, btw, must actively fight for their most basic civil rights/human rights on a daily basis.
Thank-you.
D'oh!
ReplyDeletehmmm.
What should I say? "We're not friggin' disabled ... mentally, physically or otherwise" doesn't seem to translate as well.
Maybe: We're Not Homer Simpsons
?
I guess there's no hope for lazy humor anyway you slice it, but I am open to suggestions....
as a caucasian, I am greatly offended by your implications that light-skinned people have access to shin-guards. That is such a stereotype.
ReplyDeleteShow me a white person, and I'll show you someone with shin-guards in their closet.
ReplyDeleteI'm literally stunned. Did you see how many people there were watching this bad boy?
