Being afraid of some black people is just good sense. Like Emmanuel Lewis- black people are historically carriers of dwarfism. And anybody who isn’t afraid of Della Reese ([NSFW](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOJoz3wdTjU)) is a fool. (Notice how many people in that scene are dead now- but she’s still alive.) ---

Black people are afraid of salad? Is it like Kryptonite to them like pickled eggs are to white people or salt is to the English or is it just something they don’t particularly like?
