She's stupid and black and the media loves it whenwe make a fool of ourselves especially when she downs bm in the sane breath. But like many others have pointed no other race of women ever down the entire group like bw do. This dummy is way overrated. Let her keep her undeserved oscar for getting banged out by a white dude. Her precious white knight left her dumbass in the dirt and she'll live a very long lonely bitter life. Good example for bw everywhere. Being considered the most beautiful woman a live and having white babies with white men don't mean shit if you're a bitter bitch. You'll still find yourself by yourself.
No it's not. It's only that in your opinion. If I agreed with you, it would be almost everyone on this site against you and me. I'm smart enough to know not to follow in your footsteps.
Exactly. Race is a game that has been played in this land for generation. It is not about Genotype in America, it is about Phenotype and what you look like. America loves to put you in the BOX, she hates ambiguous & likes to classify each and everyone. If you have 90 % white gene and 10 % of black gene but if any of your feature looks a representation of Africa, you're black PERIOD. If 90 % of your gene is Blk and 10 % is white but somehow you are passable (look white), then America is going to consider you White. Obama has been asked about this half a dozen of time, despite his white mother and white upbringing, Columbia or Harvard did not think he was a white or interracial kid, he was considered blk. Cab drivers in NY were not pulling for him, he realized what was up and played along with it and look where he has gotten, to the white house. RACE is a muthfuggin game and it aint changing anytime soon.
no doubt. people (watching african american lives part 2) hated to find out or at least was astonished to find out that they had a large percentage of white in them. Don cheadle , If im not mistaken, had like 30% white in him . he found out when they ran a genealogy and tested him to find out how much white he had in him. he had a look on his face like..what the fuck
If you dont know too much about the race game and war whether you're a WW or a BM, I suggest you pick up a good history book, interact with blk intellectuals and historians at Cafe shop, poetry reading, etc..... There is even a decent movie played by Anthony Hopkins THE HUMAN STAIN-about a light skin brotha passing as WM.
exactly. she would have to look at herself and find out why in the hell everyone is dissing her. I mean damn. she is good looking and rich. Now that surely says something about her. She maybe good looking on the outside but has the looks of aunt esther on the inside.
All that is well and good and all but his white side played a part aswell. If he didn't tell the world his mom was white therefore making him biracial he might not be president right now cause he might not got as many white votes. He needed all of them. He identified as black making black folks happy enough to vote for him especially with his black wife on his side cause you know if she would have been white he would have not gotten as many black votes. But every chance he got he mentioned his white mom and grandmother that raised him allowing whites to feel a little more comfortable. We see this all through Hollywood and the media. There is more African Americans with black parents than mixed with a non black parent and yet but yet the majority of Hollywood and political leaders that are black are actually mixed and many of the ones who are black look like they are mixed b/c they have a mixed ancestry.
Negative. He mentioned his family just like every politician. How is he any different from Clinton who also had a single mother he mentioned all the time. I doubt his white upbringing had much to do with his likeability he's just very charismatic. At the end of the day he still has brown skin and as we've discussed before that's all people see regardless of background or accomplishment. I agree him having a black wife definitely worked in his favor with voters but his white background makes very little difference
what is your point? Malcom X, Du Bois and other civil right leaders are mixed, but were considered Blks. Professor Skip Gates is mixed and has white wife meanwhile he was harassed by a white cop in his own home. Another point, marrying a WW and procreating with her does not mean you're negleticng you community "black community" whatever that means in America. Fredrick Douglas was married to WW, lots of civil right leaders and NAACP leaders were married to WW or courted WW.
hot damn !!!!! somebody hit it on the head. It has been said mean of times over. shit. Your ass would get two reps from on that one dog.
I've never seen someone mention their family so much a def never heard them say MY WHITE MOTHER, MY WHITE GRANDMOTHER. He stressed they were White. Which I'm sure his what ever you call them people that help him with his speeches probably was advising him to do. It works. I know lots of white folks that would not have voted for him if he wouldn't have had a white mom b/c the fear the of black man turning on the white man runs rampant through white community. Obama eased those fears b/c what's the chance he would turn on his own family.
no he didnt play up his white side of the family , the media did that for a hot second. hell in the beginning it was a negative for him because black folks (especially) black women stated he wasnt black enough but when they saw M. Obama and how dark she was then they were on board. it has been well stated on the Tavis smiley conferences you use to run once a year on C-span
Most those folks you mentioned were biracial. That is the whole point. Colorism is alive and well. My point was it's much deeper than anyone with noticeable black in them being treated as black. Yes that is true however dark skin is still treated much worse than light skin or biracial. It's sad reality that I hope one day will change but we haven't got there yet. Everyone should be treated as equal. Whites should not have privilege for being white and dark skin should not be treated the worst. Equal.
Obama aint no dummy, after all he is a Chicago Politician. He was running to be elected and to make history. Like Reverend Right said politician will say and do anything for reason of electability. If he had to say a million times that he had a white mama to get across a thick skill & make at ease of some toothless trailer trash racist red neck, then he is got to do what he is got to do, I aint mad at him. If you recall both Obama & Clintonwent to Blk church in the south and quoted scripture and tried to sound like a southern blk preacher, it is called a very smart strategic campaign.
If colorism doesn't exist the please explain the fact the most of Hollywood, politicians, etc are mixed race or light skin? Explain why statistics show that light skin people are making more money and more likely to get a job than dark skin people? Why is it so many mixed race people take most of Black first in the US?
with large influx of Hispanic, East Europeans & first generation Asians acquiring power and money this is a fantasy. America is created by blood and it will go down by blood. All these let's hold Kumbaya, it dont matter if you black and white Micheal Jackson song is a never land fantasy.
