Then clue us in. Otherwise what's your point?

Edit: As far as "study" goes I spend an inordinant amount of time trying to discern the commonalities in human thought so that such superficial traits as skin color are irrelavent. Part of the problem with the big picture is that people are so unwilling to loose themselves of aspects that they have no control over and that can be used as an excuse or as an artificial barrier to distance themselves from people who are really all the same.

Try this:

If you are able, the best time to listen (study) would be sometimes btwn 7am-12 noon, then from 7pm until 1am.

Trust me, you'll find the answer to your question there.

Are you saying that this is the case? I certainly hope not, because--while it could be true based on sheer numbers--the chances of you being able to back up such a statement aren't very good.

I find watching white people try to discuss black culture funny because I believe that the vast majority of white people are ignorant about black culture. Though white people tend to be incredibly good at talking about things of which they have next to no knowledge.

Not really, more a case of an assinine response to an assinine remark.

You might have noticed that I put a smiley face next to my original comment, because--while I do find it funny that whites are talking about black culture--it was meant to be humorous. Of course, you could have just asked what I meant without throwing your asinine remark in.

Though I can't back it up with any type of study, I think whites have the lion's share of the "talking out of my ass" market.

And I think blacks know way more about white culture than vice versa because they live in (what is still) a predominantly white culture.
