monstro, I like your cookie style. That made me chuckle.
All this talk of cookies is making me hungry. Which one of youse Dopers is a Nutter Butter???
Was this at a dopefest? I’ve got to go to one of those! 
But really, Biggirl, what’s an oreo? I can only assume you didn’t really mean the cookie in your OP.
That aside, nice list. I may print it out and post it in my cubicle for my supervisors to see. Yeesh.
An Oreo is a person who is black on the outside but white on the inside, just like the cookie.
That’d be me
I’m right with you biggirl. My family and some friends go on and on about how I’m always reading. Then sit in amazement when I answer Jeopardy questions.
<Rip Torn>
Still not getting the big brain thing…

Don’t forget the mint Oreo’s- the only ones worth eating!
One time my stupid, drunken friends pulled out a dictionary and tried to find a word I didn’t know the mean of. They were so amazed. In reality, all I had to do was get kinda close tot he word and they would give me credit. Thankfully, it was one of those little soft back dictionaries. They are such suckers, but it’s nice to be king.
I’m no braniac, but I like to read. I’ve come to the conclusion that you should never take your level of intelligence for granted because not everyone is so generously endowed. There are tons of folks smarted than us, but even more who are less so. Way less.

The mint Oreos: for those black on the outside and Irish on the inside? I’m not sure about that. 
Thankfully Stuffy stepped up to the Nutter Butter plate. I’d hate to go hungry!
I thought the stereotype for fat black women was “sassy and clever.” I guess I should subscribe to some stereotypes newsletter or some such, just to keep up.
The biggest fools I’ve met have been people who are quite bright in their area of expertise, but then think and act as if that expertise translates into all other areas.
I like cookies. Did you know the word ‘cookie’ is Dutch in origin? Those whacky Hollanders!
See, I knew this. I wish that I had to ask. 
Why is it that being smart and having eclectical musical tastes makes you “not really black”?
But then, I suppose I never liked the concept of calling someone a “wigger” either.
Keep fighting the good fight against ignorance, Biggirl! At least you have us!
It’s not because you’re smart (or appear so) that your family thinks you’re an oreo. Let’s chat a little bit about watching funnycars – it is the whitest activity in all of whitedom.
It seems I need to apologize.
My relatives (two of them) have read this thread and have informed me that it is an example of my own arrogance and self-righteousness.
Soooooo. . .
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, you non-looking up, can’t-admit-when-you-are-wrong, takes-arrogantance-to-know-one family members.
Did I mention that I’m also called “mean”. Can’t imagine why.
You also can’t be black if you’re clumsy and have no breasts or booty.
And you also have to be able to go cobra on people. I can’t do the stereotypical neck thing, even though I practice in the mirror every night. The whitest people in my department can do it better than I can, and they tease me about it. You know you’re bad off when even whitepeople tease you about not being black enough.
I’m joking about it now, but it makes me genuinely sad sometimes.
Wow.
They can like, blow a goat.
They can call you names but you can’t bitch about it, I guess. Do they wanna defend calling you an oreo here?
To those who read and bitch about it: grow the fuck up.
I have to admit I’m really bad in some stereotypical ways. I have no butt. Actually I have a large butt, but it’s movie screen big and not J-Lo big. I’m also Puerto Rican and I can’t cook rice unless it’s in a bag.
But I got the neck action down pat. You can’t be rude or mean without the neck action.
It’s CobraGirl…tah-dah!!
Now I have to really, really apologize.
Arrogance does run in my family and I’ve got my fair share of it and yes I can get quite high and mighty sometimes. The family members who have read this thread have never called me an oreo.
They’d post here to tell you but I went and got all mean and now they’re afraid I’ll bite thier heads off. I tend to bite people’s heads off. Come on out folks. You know I really love you!
You can be rude or mean without it (hell, stiff-necked people can be mighty rude!). But you can’t cuss someone out without the neck action.
And the neck thing isn’t the only thing. You also have to be able to hold up your finger in concert with the neck motion. You have to have both elements for Genuine Cobra Action.
For some reason, flamboyantly gay men–from many races and creeds–tend to have the cobra thing going for them. Did that they get it from black women? Or did black women get it from them? Maybe I should ask Cecil.
Heck, I’ve been saying that for years – “Biggirl isn’t as smart as I think she is”.
I mean “Biggirl is smarter than I thought but not as smart as I think she is now”
I mean “As smart as I think Biggirl is now that I figured out she’s smarter than I think she is, she’s outsmarted me because she isn’t as smart as that.”
Which is really smart of her if it’s smart of her to do that. To outsmart me and make me thing she isn’t. Is.
My head smarts.
