Blackspeak: Fireworks.

Back when I went to the fireworks display on the 4th, I went to go watch the ones downtown from this park on the lake where you can see off the north bank four or five miles right to downtown. Everyone was out there on their lawnchairs and blankets, and they all started clapping when the first fireworks went up, even though the fireworks were like two inches high from where we were sitting. As soon as that happened, this one black kid near me who was just standing around and hugging his girlfriend in the middle of the crowd was like, "C'mon, we ain't clapping for that."
