Jesse Williams' BET Speech did you catch it?

That's what you get..

 

No, not necessarily, and that is where biracial individuals will catch hell. Both ignorant black & white folks will shit on them for not being fully black or white.
See the response from your boy Richard Karma Cooper. And he's someone who claims to be attracted to white women....

 

What's disturbing is how anyone could see Jesse Williams speech as anti-white.

It's a sad day in 2016 when someone speaking out against white privilege and institutional racism is seen as hating on White people.

White people in '70s/'80s/'90s used to be more sophisticated when it came to discussions on race.

His critics are going after him like he went full Farrakhan at the BET awards.:smt118

 

That's like the pig hating on the cow because at least the cow doesn't live a pen filled with mud and shit.

BOTH of them are going to be slaughtered.


Don't let that house nig/field nig shit cloud the real issues.

Let's be real, it was Black folk who placed undue preference on lighter skin, which is kind of an odd sentiment for one to be speaking out about on a board for BM who PREFER WW.lol

I wonder if people back in the day people hated on Malcolm X because his ass was too pale.:lol:

 

Well stated. I saw Richard Karma Cooper's statement. He hates everyone. He's a troll

 

Exactly.

 

Yep. Both were being used and treated like less than men. Black people are the ones that placed premium on light skin. That's why you see blackfolk here hating on this guy.

 

That's because most black men who work with that mindset are all about getting the same level of fucked up White Male Privilege as white men and just like those white men that thrive on that level, they don't give a damn about anything or anyone unless it benefits them and their status in some way.

 

And there it is!

(damn can't rep you)

 

Talk about false equivelancy. If you can't see there was a stark difference in treatment between house and field slaves then there's no conversation to be had. House slaves got an education sometimes they would even get property, who do you think all the light skin aristocrats who started clubs like Jack and Jill were? Why do you think there was a paper bag test there was a definite benefit to having lighter skin are you honestly going to deny that?
A better analogy might have been one slave has to beg for water and another had to wait for rain to drink.

 

There's fucking levels to this shit stop playing like there isn't. Do all immigrants have the same experience. Are Mexicans treated like Swedes or British people?
They're both immigrants right?

 

That's asinine, so pointing truth is vying for white male privilege. This is the problem with privilege and why this bullshit can't and will never end because people love to dismiss shit without even thinking. You make the same argument about white privilege, every man woman and child not born into wealth is a victim of capitalism and wage slavery. We will all toil for a company until we are of no use and then discarded and it doesn't matter what "race" you are, but with in that system of oppression there is a hierarchy. Some based on accidents of birth will be offered privilege over others, they will have access to better education, better opportunities, less oppression by coercive institutions based on nothing more than skin color. All under the same oppressive regime but some get a raincoat and an umbrella to deal with the harsh weather while others are plain left out in the cold.

 

What planet do you live on? Are you telling me that you are that naive to think that there aren't any black men that don't trade in their blackness in some vain attempt to achieve something that passes for equal level of White Male Priviledge??

 

No I'm saying bringing up difference in treatment doesn't in fact exemplify that attempt. It appears there's friction for just bringing it up.

 

I was pointing out the fact that we have black dudes on this very forum who care nothing about the black community or other black people on any level, never mind they don't actually like white women as much as they claim.


Any black men claiming to be attracted to white women, but has issues with light skinned blacks or biracial people, that's more than just some friction. That's some type of privilege issue going on. Especially if they are ALWAYS finding ways to inject and talk about black women in any conversations and how much a problem they are.

 

Amen brother.

 

That shit is no different than the neo confederate/conservative minded black folks who are always acting as mouth pieces for racists white folks when they parrot their scripted anti-black propaganda. It all comes from the same place. Black folks trying to curry favor from or pretend they are on the same level as entitled racist elements of society.

 

Did I say it was not a difference? If you see a man with 10% of his natural rights as being privileged just because his darker cousin only has 5% of his rights. That's your issue.

 

Ouch. You are so right.
Statements like ricardo is very hateful on every level. Its not a good look.

 

False equivalence
We aren't immigrants. We were stolen
