Because YOU said it and you are no expert in anything. It's all your opinon based on other people's opinions that you "researched" on the internet that happen to fit with your world view. ANYBODY can search the internet and find any opinion to fit their view point to fit an argument as well as counter points to break an argument. What are you twelve years old are something? It's obvious that you have little regard for other peoples intellegence. GROW UP. SMDH
The self-hating little roach said "we as a race have very little to be proud of"....if he is Black....he's a sad excuse for a BM.
Well, I'm asking you now, what do we have to be proud of?. Name a few things so I can change my mind.
Exactly. This guy is funny. When is obviously a white boy trying too hard to win points. Who else would say that Blacks don't do anything to be proud of, then turn a blind eye to Nobel Prize winners. Who but a white boy would would speak dismissively of a Black man because, "he didn't look black enough". Who but a white boy would try to minimize the importance of Vivien Thomas' true contributions by suggesting that he was "only a lab tech." The fact is that HIS techniques, regardless of his position, were the ones that resulted in finding a cure for the "blue baby" heart problem. But, just a white boys earlier in history wrongly took credit for the inventions of slaves and other Black men, so this boy wants to give them credit for that disservice. What can I say, they are what they are, and that's why we have to be vigilant.
Not matter what I or any other black man here answers to any of your questions will be valid in your eyes.
My point was: Nobel peace Prize means NOTHING, you don't need any intellectual achievements to win it. Also, I didn't minimize the importance of Vivien Thomas, he was important, I'm just saying that isn't enough to make me proud, it's gonna take a lot more to make me proud, I'm proud of my self and the things I have accomplished in my life, but no, not proud of my race.
he's been shot already but doesn't want to admit it. I haven't read anything that was convincing on his part, just the classical white boy attempts, like most of early history to use distraction when he can't make a logical argument. The idea of suggesting that Charles Drew wasn't a Black man when he died as a result of car accident, was taken to a hospital, and was refused treatment because he was a Black man. So, obviously he was Black enough, and looked Black enough to be denied treatment. I tell ya, these white boys gotta get a little smarter...
Whatever, if you all are proud to be black, congrats, I'm a realist though, not buying into that "be proud of your race" bullshit, I'll be proud when I have a reason to be proud, and no, I'm not a self-hating black man, I'm proud of myself, and that's good enough for me.
You know every well what I meant, he was black by the one-drop rule, but he wouldn't be considered black in most of the world today, he's not what people think of when they say black people, and I don't know how that changes anything, Charles Drew or not, we're still grasping for straws to find reasons to be proud.
