Black pudding is a sausage made by cooking down the blood of an animal with meat, fat or filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.
In the West, pig or cattle blood is most often used, sheep and goat blood are used to a lesser extent, and blood from poultry is very seldom used.
A legend attributes the invention of blood sausage to an absinthe-induced bet between two drunken Bavarian butchers during the 14th century. This is unlikely, as absinthe was not developed until the 18th century. In fact, there are ancient references to sausages made with blood, e.g. from Homer's Odyssey.
What a hero and well worth celebration !

But, perhaps even more important than The Game was Jack Johnson
One of the first African Amercians to stand up against the blue eyed devil. Forty years before King, this brother was challenging the way in which black folks fitted into white American society. You can trace the modern black civil rights movement to the boxers of the early twentieth century.

The practice of removing the hair from the upper lip of slaves was to demoralise and humiliate the victim, making sure that without the facility to lead and inspire men, the slave would be submissive and weary of heart.
At the turn of the century of the 1800s, at a nameless cheese farm in Mississippi, one Zanzibaba Ndluchunkskrin at only 14 years of age have developed a small patch of hair growth on the left side of his upper lip and whipped up a frenzy of machismo and posturing in the slave quarters. The uprising turned nasty and when Zanzibaba was asked to return to his quarters after a double shift of brie polishing and refused. Several men also joined in his anarchic stance and the farmer was left with no choice but to show who was in control and the price was in blood. Zanzibaba was cut severely with a razor but was mercifully spared with a small square of tissue paper.
In 1885 young black men were allowed to be employed in cinema as runners or teaboys but the ban was still strongly in place. They were forced to make long journeys often without cooling balm for supplies for film shoots. They were expected to often go long periods hungry whilst filling the rich white folks stomachs with BLT sandwiches and those coleslaw Ginster bars.
It was 99 years later when Eddie Murphy burst onto our screens as Axel Foley. Donning what would change the lives for black Americans forever. A sleek and stylish moustache. Although slavery was probably abolished by then. Moustaches on black men were still taboo. As were tight stone washed jeans. Such heroes as Chuck Norris were seen sporting tighter jeans and fuller facial hair in their bid to win the racial war. Eddie (real name Eddbakmatfat Grotius Murphy) was a huge hit across the globe and broke down the long standing barrier between white and black brothers, proudly trimming their hair follicles in unity.
Back in the height of British Apartheid in 1988, computers were called 'blackboards'. Early attempts at creating blackboards involved the skinning of black men and children, and the stitching together of their skins to form parchment. These were met with failure, however, as it revealed that what makes a black man black is not the pigmentation of his skin, but in actuality the black tar like substance that pumps round his body in place of blood.
So instead white teachers had to settle for a symbolic opression - taking a black board and continually marking it with white chalk. This terrifying racist fantasy instilled in our nation's children the unconscious suggestion that not only was it OK for the whites to mark blacks, it was laudable; educational.
In today's more politcially correct society, teachers use technology developed by Global Hypercolour to mark a board that continually change colour according to the racial-make up of the class. Modern 'learning--boards' cycle through white, black, yellow and brown, with the ink changing colour appropriately. This new teaching technique has finally consigned racism to the dustbin of history, save for a few towns up north where they still think it's 'cool' to bash someone for being a coloured. Remember: we all bleed red in the end (except for blacks, who bleed black).

Now you'll have them all thinking we're racists rather than simply the usual good natured mocking of some event (matters not what it is, we mock the lot) they'll all be up in arms and a new yet more terrible flame war will start..
I'm really no longer in the mood for board wars 'specially when its something like this and is designed to start trouble or grief and basically bring the name of this forum up where it would not normally be mentioned or get the content taken out of all context by users pulled over from other forums who may well be offended by the comments made in this thread (due to them not knowing the 'twisted' sense of humour that most people on here have or indeed any of the forums history)
Take a time out - Go sit on the naughty step for a while (till mondayish).

Huey Newton Gunned down by the Man. Huey, author of the exhilirating Revolutionary Suicide, was not only the founder of the Black Panther Party but also invented the American version of the fig-roll biscuit.
If it's true that Public Enemy is number one, then it goes without saying that Flavor Flav is the son. As the leader of the militant black rapping group, Flav has been a modern day pioneer of african american awareness. Although he often took to the stage with the amusing yet ultimately frivolous Chuck D, Flav was still able bring gravitas and urgency to the Public Enemy message.
So incendiary were his lyrics that he needed his own personal group of bodyguards, aptly named The Security Of The First World. Here's an example:
quote: I can't do nuttin' for ya man You want six dollars for what? I can't do nuttin' for ya man You better man kiss my but I can't do nuttin' for ya man I'm busy tryin' to do for me I can't do nuttin' for ya man That's the way the ball bounces gee
These days, with hip hop taking a different course, it's hard to imagine that power that these lyrics had in the nineties. In fact, so radical were his ideas that he has now become a spokesman for black people everywhere, preaching socio-economic empowerment from his many hi-profile platforms. Recently, he has engaged with the white mainstream from popular TV shows such as "This Surreal Life", and the dog eat dog world of Channel 5's "The Farm".
It was on The Farm more than anywhere that we got to see the real Flav - brooding, intelligent, and a man of measured words. Facing off against Lionel Blair and Keith/Orville, we witnessed a raw intensity that even shocked TV bosses. As one journalist reports:
quote: Flav & Keith Keith also finds Flavor intensely irritating, while Flav distrusts the ventriloquist, accusing him of eavesdropping and being too focused on the money. Flavor has not enjoyed Keith assuming control of the shopping and cooking, and feels he has been selfish. Keith on the other hand spoke through Orville when calling him a "tosspot" after another row. Although they don't get on, they have calmed down with each other and when Keith confronted Flavor for not doing any chores one day, it remained civil.
It's hard to imagine what life is like when one remains so dedicated to a single cause. Flav has selflessly pioneered a message that brings black issues to the forefront of 21st century culture. With nothing but an oversized clock and a Yeahhhhh bwoooyyyyyyeeeeeeee, Flav is white America's wake up call.

The whole point of this thread was to turn today into a positive-discrimination recruitment drive. Honest. The whole thing was planned. Getting kovacs canned was just a bonus.

Some of the threads there are quite interesting> The only one I vehemently disagreed with was about Asian shopkeepers, where the poster described the treatment black men get in such shops (staying on the phone, dropping your change, failing to give you a bag) etc and complaining that for everyone else it's completely different. If it makes the man in question feel any better, I'd like to let him know that this is pretty much par for the course in any newsagent I've ever been in. One time I had to stand at the till for 15 minutes waiting for the shopkeeper to finish the newspaper article he was reading.

I can top that! Once an Asian shopkeeper made me do a dance for him by firing his pistol at my feet.

Nope - IP ban is off I've just put his username on our new naughty step.
Race relations are tricky issue and I'm not having the forum dragged into it by the deliberate posting of an 'in TMO's sense' comedic thread into a forum designed specifically for 'Black' culture. I’m not in the mood for forum wars, so I’ve put Mr. K on the naughty step for a while and turned on the registration queue.
It's not conducive to a happy forum or a peaceful life for me when things like this happen and right now I’m not in the mood to get the sites name dragged through the mud just for a laugh...
