shades

A racial slur, coined by racial anthropologist Dr. Andrew H. Eberle after his time at Yale, when upon auditioning for a predominately African American acapella group of the name Shades, did not give him a call back. The term was created on the spot out of Dr. Eberle's frustration, and came to be used to refer to any member of the African American race.

Shades Gang

Like the Clock Crew and the Lock Legion, the Shades Gang are a NEW flash group from Newgrounds. However, even if they are pretty popular and gaining members as days go by, they also are pretty hated throughout Newgrounds. They attracted two clock crew members, IceBlock Clock, and SaltShaker Clock to come and join them. They also attracted a few Star Syndicate members and Kitty Krew members. They have very few allies on Newgrounds, but they have a ton of enemies who do not enjoy thier delightful peace and some spam. They are currently aiming for a "collection" on Newgrounds. Collections are short movies mocking something (e.g. Powerpuff Girls, Runescape, Ed Edd & Eddy etc.) involving the collection. Thier website consists of a clean invisionfree forum with excellent security. They also have 4 groups, "Admin, Co-Admin, Moderators, Original Shades, Regular Shades, Lurkers, and Banned" They try thier hardest not to spam as much as the Kitty Krew, the Star Syndicate, and TTA, however sometimes they can't help themselves. Unlike the Clock Crew and the Lock Legion, who have thier own "Day". The Shades Gang has their own "WEEK", 'Shades Week' which lasts the week of April 8th through April 12th. Thier original founding members include, GoldenShades (block of gold), LampShades (lamp), PizzaShades (pizza), DeathShades (a gravestone), AxeShades (an axe), 7UP Shades (can of 7up), and RoboShades (a robot rolling on one wheel). They accept anyone into their group, no matter what your flash skills are. The are like a family and care for each other. That is what makes them such a historic Newgrounds fad.

Tim: Here use this lamp shade
Nick: Sounds legit, lets get shaded.
