Get the Anti Rebound Paper mug.An actual test, along with the so-called ruler test in common use in the the early 1900s among upper class Black American societies and families to determine if a Black person was sufficiently white to gain admittance or acceptance. If your skin was darker than a brown paper bag, you did not merit inclusion. Thousands of Black institutions including the nation's most eminent Black fraternity -- Phi Alpha Phi, Howard Univiersity, and numerous church and civic groups all practiced this discriminiation. The practice has 19th Century antecedants with the Blue Blood Society and has not totally died out.
Zora Neal Hurston was the first well known writer to air this strange practice in a public. The practice is now nearly universally condemned (at least in public) as being an example of "colorism". Particularly cogent modern day critiques can be found in Kathy Russell's "The Color Complex", Tony Morrion's "The Bluest Eye" (an Ophrey Book Club choice) and Marita Golden's "Don't Play in the Sun." The best known send-up of the pactice, however, is Spike Lee's scathing and hilarious 1988 movie, "School Daze."

"Though the brown paper bag test is antiquated and frowned upon as a shameful moment in African-American history, the ideals behind the practice still lingers in the African-American community" -- Rivea Ruff, BlackCollegeView.Com

Get the extrememe rock, paper, scissors mug.1. A very pointless, unnecessary, and painful game: On a table are: a Large Rock (3+ pounds), New Extra-Coarse Sandpaper, and a large pair of Sharp Scissors. The game:
A Group of males sit around the table and masturbate in unison. "Rock...Paper...Scissors" is called out loud uniform to three pumps. At the end of the third pump a Rock, paper, or scissors hand gesture is made by each male, they must all be the same gesture in order to what gesture was made last 3 pumps (order rock, paper, scissors). If at anytime during the game a player uses a wrong hand gesture, that player loses and whatever hand gesture he used, he must use that object to harm his penis. If you ejaculate at any time during the game, you are disqualified. The object of the game is to last longer than any other player. You have to have good memory, or be a very early skeeter to play this game, or else you will leave with either a very deformed penis, or no penis at all. This game is much more unnecessary than soggy waffle.

If you lose: Either you will have to drop the huge rock directly on your penis. Or you will have to wrap Coarse sandpaper around it and masturbate with it. Or you will have to cut your meat off with the scissors.
