hahahha... :smt043 Surprising insight on hollywood's part. wonder if that scene was written by a black dude
The main reason BM are so punkish is because we are a matriarchal people. We actually see the world through the eyes of our mothers and grandmothers...We have a negro in this very thread just like that.:smt042 What makes a group is patriarchal or matriarchal comes down to the FEMALES. WW for example...have a boy child preferance...therefore her people are patriarchal. The BW on the other hand.. have a girl child preferance...making us a matriarchal/laughing stock people. That's why we have Rondell instead of Ron. Dontrell instead on Don. Marquise instead of Marcus. Lamicheal instead of Micheal. Even sissy names such as Shawn is too macho for our community...LaShawn or Shawntrell is how we roll. Truth be told...the ONLY thing African about us that wasn't outlawed is the matriarchal system. They let us keep that weak shi.t..... for reasons that are obvious. If matriarchy was a positive it would have been banned right along with everything else. Chancellor Williams wrote in the 'destruction of Black civilization' that Africa was conquered SEXUALLY before she was invaded militarilly. A matriarchal system is the only system that can be conquered sexually. Take away all the racism and we'll still find a sexy,nice-nasty way to wind up DEAD LAST. We think everything is cute. Throw something on our side of the fence...we keep it...throw something on the white boy's side of the fence and he'll throw it back. While others leave their inheritance and businesses to their sons....we leave ours to our daughters. We do not invest in our sons yet we expect them to perform as if we do. We send our sons to the pen and our daughters to Penn state. The day we put our sons first like the latinos asians whites ect ect....there will be a new Jerusalem. Then and only then will we have our day in the sun.
my man you sir know what the hell you are talking about, ? I can't tell you how many times in childhood I went thru this and had my black ex wife had her way I would be a beer drinking sitting on the couch shuffling ass negro scared of my own shadow
Look up the book Black Like Me. It was even made into a movie starring James Whitmore as the white reporter who disguises himself as black, sees and experiences the treatment of black people in the South during Jim Crow first hand.
I read the NYT piece on the book and it made the family sound highly intelligent, yet deeply broken, with the wife as some sort of arch-fetishist.
nope black mn= slf-hating raccoon. i'm not the one who bashes his own race due to my insecurities, nice try tom.
it called common sense. point1- when was miley ever seen with any black ppl circa hannah montana? she only with them now to show she's a bad girl to steer away from her good girl image. point2- both justins have been criticised in the black community but they have sellout blacks like jay-z and pharrel giving them cover so it gets in the white mainstream media. ppl support a robin thicke because he genuinely embraces r n b. just like jon b before him. ppl would criticise brit because she has no real talent. no one criticises adele or amy winehouse. point3- macklemore has been criticised because he tried to lecture ppl on hip hop and had a so-called gay anthem even though he is not gay. point4-there is no mentality besides your obvious color issues. point5-xxl is run by whites and iggy is managed by a raccoon named ti. getting positions in a mag has nothing to do with journalistic merit or else why would gwyneth paltrow been named most beauitful over scar jo, gabrielle union,etc. point6- azaelia takes issue with someone who has no talent getting recognition over her. she wouldn't have an issue with macklemore because he has talent and isn't her direct competition. jay-z vs nas,christina vs britney, bsb vs nsync. dmx vs ja rule. point7- where did i say bm/ww didn't get discriminated by black people. the point is whatever happened inthe black community pales in comparison to the lynchings and jim crow. bp didn't have institutional power.
Hmmm.. I think I could make 7 point comments on most of these comments but I won't right now.. seems like it would likely fall on deaf ears anyway. Soooooo about the book. I decided to download kindle version. Very interesting read so far. Has anyone else actually decided to read it?
great find, you surprised me for once. you are still a raccoon though. are you familiar with any of the works by van setima, dr ben, john henrik clark or anta diop. we never had control over our community in the united states and that was what i was speaking about.
It's supposed to be a family reunion. A gathering of family. I have never seen the double standards you speak of. If your family members have an issue with a member who has married outside the race, then don't go.
I have to agree with hetero. My sister, for example, critisizes me when I date or get friendly with white women, but then she does similar with white men. If I call her out on it, she'll act oblivious to it.
That's why it is called sibling differences. We all have them(if you have brothers or sisters). My sister has not dated a white or Latino man and she made sure she didn't. She often asked me,"What do you see in white girls?" I answered her saying,"They're nicer to me," and she hit me a number of times for it. I couldn't hit her back because of the fact that we were living with mom then. And mom had the final say. I had no autonomy when it came to family. But I was a kid. And my sister got away with a lot of shit growing up.
