Assimilated Negro interviewed him back in the day (February 28), some 20 million pages views ago:<BR/><BR/>http://theassimilatednegro.blogspot.com/2008/02/stuff-white-people-like-interview-part.html<BR/><BR/>My site is an attempt at the white-analysis-by-a-white-guy that you're calling for, and SWPL was my impetus to start talking/blogging about it. Like you say, though, I know no book deal will come out of it, which is quite all right. I just appreciate the chance the Internet gives me to spread the word, or rather the counterword. Thanks again for helping with that, AND for the inspiration I find on your blog.macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330039258193454269.post-84391263672336602312008-04-25T13:41:00.000-07:002008-04-25T13:41:00.000-07:00Nope, he's a white dude ( http://www.racialicious....Nope, he's a white dude ( http://www.racialicious.com/2008/02/25/meet-the-man-behind-stuff-white-people-like/ ).<BR/><BR/>And it wouldn't matter if he was Black the blog is still kinda fucked up when you think about it, even more so that this white guy has a book deal.Jack Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349703689965815558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330039258193454269.post-63429524164808876152008-04-25T09:17:00.000-07:002008-04-25T09:17:00.000-07:00Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm sure the SWPL bl...Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm sure the SWPL blog is written by a black person. He was interviewed by a particular magazine once with his photograph shown.<BR/>As much as I agree with the blog not tackling serious issues facing race in America, I think the blog was merely supposed to be poking fun at the upper-middle class whites and their, "quirks". As regularly pointed out by the commenters on the site, the blog does not really include ALL white americans, but the rich yuppie ones lol. It's all in fun though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
