Best Quote:
“I graduated Princeton in ’92 and moved to Williamsburg in ’03,” [Mr. Butler, the Brooklyn Flea Market organizer] explained. “I bought on old fixer-upper in ’04 and started the site, and I realized I was miserable working on Wall Street and that Manhattan was only for rich people and felt played.”
“Brooklyn, and particularly Fort Greene with its heterogeneous population, had “so much more soul and texture,” observed Mr. Butler (who actually lives in Clinton Hill), echoing a view voiced by many before him, probably beginning with Walt Whitman or, anyway, Spike Lee.”
Worth Noting
Please take a look at the slideshow to show the fantastic “texture” of people at the event.
Change in Policy
The white people of New York have been properly documented. This experiment has shown that they are featured in at least one article in every Sunday New York Times. As a result, we have concluded our study of white people in the New York Times and will no longer take submissions from the New York Times. Instead, we hope to expand our search to help document how white people thrive in environments other than New York
McCain hates scavengers.
Got to love the New York Times….

That post is what I waited a week for?!….come on get it together, write an original blog, im tired of reading about white people in the new york times, i want to read about stuff white people like. This new post looks like you made it in about 5 minutes. I have some suggestions for future posts that I would like to see some elaboration on.
having babies when your 40+
1) having maids, but feeling sorry that you do, and cleaning up before the maid comes.
2) vintage sunglasses
3) costco
4) flip-flops
5) Murses
6) outside movies in the park
7) protesting the olympics
9) vitamins
10) restoration hardware/ z gallery
I would like you to get back to how this blog was like 3 months ago, because for awhile now, it has been slipping a bit.
Um, don’t care about the WP in the news. Are you not doing blog posts anymore? Sheesh…. There are so many more topics to cover…. get to it
You people are a bunch of ingrates!!!!! It’s not clander’s responsibility to please YOU! Start your own freakin’ blogs and see how far you get. I’m positive you wouldn’t be getting anything like 23 million hits.
It’s obvious that the blog will suffer because the book is being written. However, brown eyed girl’s argument is dumb. I suppose you can’t post a negative comment without first having written your own successful blog. But useless comments like “You rock” and “Gee, look how much this blog affirms my whiteness” can run rampant without complaint.
Uh, no. Posting a negative comment isn’t what I was referring to. It’s the more more more, better better better demand that’s dumb. Clander apparently just created this blog for family and friends, and it unexpectedly became wildly popular. So for people who’ve enjoyed his blog for FREE, and for whom this blog wasn’t even intended, to demand anything, is obnoxious.
Im not stupid, i knew the blog would suffer while he was writing the book, but come on, 1 post a week is quite lame. an average writer could easily put out 2 posts (that arent already written on newyorktimes.com) a week and still write a book. He is already writing a book and has only had this blog for 4 months, while im sure the book will be great, he shouldnt neglect the blog, which are the roots for the book. You kill the roots, and the book will die on book shelves at barns and noble and borders. He shouldnt alienate his core readers who helped make this blog successful. Because there is something white people dont like, and thats waiting. Us whiteys make stars, and we can also get rid of them, hello britney.
“Im not stupid, i knew the blog would suffer while he was writing the book, but come on, 1 post a week is quite lame. an average writer could easily put out 2 posts (that arent already written on newyorktimes.com) a week and still write a book.”
What’s quite lame is the above statement. I’m sure he has other things to worry about as well, like a job for instance.
“He shouldnt alienate his core readers who helped make this blog successful. Because there is something white people dont like, and thats waiting.”
You feel alienated because he’s not satisfying your demands for more? That’s weird! Where’s your loyalty and appreciation for the entertainment he’s already given you? You don’t get as much as you want anymore, for FREE by the way, so you start writing a list of demands as if he owes you something?! Whatever…
We’re not getting this blog for “FREE,” you stupid C**t. We pay through our time and continued interest, through which the writer gets ad revenue.
The bigger question is why you’re such a bossy cow. Negative and positive comments provide a metric through which the author can see how he’s doing. If he reads the comments, he now knows that he needs to create more frequent posts with more original content in order to keep his readers satisfied (and thus maintain his popularity).
In fact, your whining (unlike that of disgruntled readers) serves NO beneficial purpose. Therefore, not only are you a creepy whiner, but you’re also a hypocrite.
Ahh, just when I think I might actually be reading a decent debate with actual logic and rhetoric, Mr. Whitey obviously feels he cannot keep up with Brown Eyed Girl’s obvious grasp of conscious thought and resorts to (quite pathetic) name calling and insults. Yes, yes, I of course see the reasoning, that since she is defending what is, in my opinion, an outstanding blog, she must be a C**t. Argument won. Way to be, Mr. Whitey. Way. To. Be. Brown eyed girl, if ONLY there were a few more intelligent people in this country that were able to articulate their beliefs into actual words, not just infantile schoolyard taunts.
(Comments wont nest below this level)
MB,
I provide both insults AND logical argument in my comment. The former doesn’t negate the latter. I’m sorry you have such poor reading comprehension.
(Comments wont nest below this level)
Yes, my dear Whitey. It’s free. Unless you’re reading more ads than I am (zero), you’re both wrong and needlessly personal in your attack.
(Comments wont nest below this level)
Dear Ding,
Your error comes from an inability to grasp that the category of “cost” includes more than that which is monetary. As I mentioned, our enjoyment of this site has a cost (albeit an affordable one): our time and attention. Time and attention are limited resources, and the author of this site benefits when we spend these resources here. The site views and comments that result from our investments of time and attention create an objective measure of his success (i.e., site “hits” and comments) that prompts book deals and profit for the author.
Because the author’s success depends on his popularity, which further depends on audience appeal, negative comments are useful as a measure of appeal.
I’m sorry you’re an idiot
Enjoy the middle class.
(Comments wont nest below this level)
Well I don’t know about Ding, but I sure am enjoying the middle class! If being in the ‘upper class’ (as you apparently think you are) means mingling with people like you, then I’ll stay right here, thank you very much
Go Brown Eye!
And Britney is famous whether she’s up or down hrhkat.
There is a big difference in having a career and being famous, and not having a career and being famous for the wrong reasons.
Gee, where did you get the CLEANING UP BEFORE THE MAID idea? Oh, wait, FROM ME!!!!!
WHITE PEOPLE LIKE CLEANING UP BEFORE THE MAID!!!!!
I did totally steal that idea from you! BUt its soo true! I clean for my maid everyweek! it is good enough for an entire post, i was just trying to keep it relevant by bring it up again. I never really thought about it until i read someone else say it, then i thought of all my white friends with maids and how “they are to busy to clean for the maid” to go to lunch. Yes i stole it from you….would you like a gold star? lol
John Cartwright McCain is so insane hates being FIRST…… might pose a problem in November…. Pray 4 JC McCain’s sanity… Hard!….

Another gem from New York Times… the white people bible as I like to call it
wp love gems.
White people love bibles. As long as there are only white people in them.
Jew York Times is not representative of “white”. Does “Arthur Sulzberger” sound White to you?
The article didn’t push transgenderism either, which also is not representative of “white”.
I hate myself.
Join the club. We all hate you.
Go here, http://onomatopoeiablog.blogspot.com/ . It might make you feel better.
But it probably won’t.
another impostor
people shouldn’t hate. People shouldn’t be anti-White, and you know who you are……(liberals).
I think Arthur Sultzberger sounds about as white as Adolf Schicklgruber, whom you most likely identify as kwite-a-witey.
Hillary would sell Chelsea at a flea market if it meant she could become president
What’s your point?
Hillary is pimping Chelsea…..I think Chelsea wants her chance in the Lincoln bedroom!
first
McCain owns you. He also hates you.
Wrong.
Don’t you mean the white people quran, eliza?
Jesus hates white people.
And so do I!
http://stuffgodhates.wordpress.com/
I know.
Jesus was white, mofo.
Christianity is a weak religion that is non-White and Semitic in origin.
It’s soft ideas are the downfall of Whites. Contrast that to racist and collectivist and non-inviting tribal religions like Judaism and Islam.
Oy. Yet another who doesn’t understand sarcasm–even with a smiley.
You don’t need to see any identification.
“It’s” is not the posessive pronoun you’re looking for.
Move along.
cunni-linguist!
Everything about the author of this blog screams intelligent Conservative or Libertarian trapped in Liberal society and as such has resorted to studying one of the strangest species on the planet, the rich, white liberal white person.
Any liberal who reads this site and feels any sense of pride is an idiot.
No.
wp love disagreeing with biting, accurate summations of their intellectual ineptitude.
“the rich, white liberal white person.”
So eloquent. Color me bitten.
Eloquent? Really?
No. Not really.
those people in the article certainly don’t seem rich, far from it actually.
Who wants a piece of my ass?
Whitey looks pretty interested.
I’d like a piece, please.
impostor post or not?
IS this an late April fools joke…?
No more white folks in the New York times?
The study is complete?
There is so much more to learn
wp love Shaft.
mmmhhhmmm. i do love me some shaft. fo shizzle!
