Oreo

I started my soccer career, if you could call it that, as a carefree kindergartener. Soccer at the time was just the thing that preceeded the real event, the postgame snack that would traditionally consist of cupcakes or Oreos and a juice box or occasionally the god-awful apple from a health conscious mother. So how is it that this sport would grow to become one of my greatest sources of joy and pride? This pride I speak of has not come from any particular standout skill; I am by no means a…

I’ve heard comments from black girls saying to other black girls “she’s not black, she’s a white girl underneath, an oreo.” I, among many other white girls, had comments made about us, which sounded like “you’re too white to be doing that.” The fights that occurred were usually between blacks; you heard racial slurs—“Nigger, ghetto-ass nigger”—being shouted to one another…

close enough to touch. Past the gate, the sidewalks are lined with food stands featuring all kinds of delicacies every few feet. The food stands have huge posters of whatever they may be selling, whether it be nachos, funnel cakes, pizza, or fried Oreos. The fresh, hot funnel cakes at the fair are sections of buttermilk batter fried, layered high, and covered in powdered sugar. They smell like a cake straight out of the oven that has been tossed in a huge bowl of confectioner sugar. They also…

“Beware! Beware! Ides of March.” Ladies and gentlemen are you ready for the craziest season of March madness. I mean crazy, some of these teams have some powers they can use to their advantage. Maryland has a player named John Mary that can walk in the air because land generate under him. There is a couple different ways Maryland can use this to their advantage. First this one-of-a-kind player can stay above the opponent's goal and“ when the other team gets a point they can throw the ball to…

Mixed Up I didn’t start getting questions like “What are you” and “Are you an Oreo?” till I hit middle school, 6th grade to be exact. The first time I got asked these questions was from a young boy in my grade. I was confused as to what he was trying to ask me but I answered with “what do you mean? I’m a girl, I’m me”. That answer did not service so he asked me again “No. What race are you?” So I told him my mom was white and dad was black, then he kind of looked at me blackly and said “Oh ok…

The year 2008, my name Wesley C. Coffey, my video game of choice S.L.A.I (Steel Lancer Area International) a little known, highly underrated sequel to Phantom Crash and this was the night my life would change. Like most fourteen year olds' who could stay up as late as they pleased and didn’t have access to the wonders of the world wide web, I was channel surfing for, how do I put this without sounding obscene, ‘porn’ when I came across a show by the name of X-Play, which didn’t have any smut but…

I hate living in a small town, nobody locks there door, I mean just because you know everybody doesn’t mean there still can’t be burglars. Anyways why complain when there is nothing you can do about it. I’m going to go have some hot chocolate and Oreos and tease Liz about her crush on Donny Davis. Bye for…

your really are. Kylie and Bailey ,both 14 year old girls , both go to the same school, and both have siblings that are friends too, but both girls are very different personality and interest wise. Kylie and Bailey go together like the oreo cookie and the oreo icing, pb and j, black and white, totally different apart but great together. I guess you could say that they are opposites that attract. One day Bailey gets a call from Kylie saying how much she hates her life because of school, family,…

complaints. The first African-American Barbie was released in 1997 when Mattel teamed up with "Nabasico" to create a Barbie doll to encourage young children to eat Oreos. How ironic! They released a Caucasian and African-American verison of this doll. It was viewed as being extremely racist as the African-American community argued that Oreo was a derogatory term used to convey the message of "black on the outside and white on the inside" much like the cookie sandwich. One mother was appalled…
