Calm down lying old hag...nobody is blaming you sisters.:smt042 Where did all the half-breeds come from? Africa was matriarchal....just like you...bitch.
I remember seeing a film from China. I think it was titled Uniform . It was a story about a young man who finds a police officer's uniform and he wears it to extort money from people. The director of the film used his experience of being a victim of a police impersonator to tell this story. It was interesting. Not as extreme as in most past television shows like Hawaii 5-0, CHiP's, The Shield and others. Or even comedic like Let's Be Cops. In this day and age, police impersonators are a seen, yet, unseen danger. A high school kid in Miami became a police impersonator and fooled even his girlfriend, who thought that he was a police officer. I was taught in college about the wearing of the badge. When you wear the badge of a law enforcement officer, you wear the responsibility of the providing security and carelessness for the community you serve. It is very bad when officers of the law use their badge to do harm.
Great points, I'll rep you once I spread more I don't think your theory is racist; as a mixed male with a non-bm father and bw mother I can relate to the points you've made. I didn't grow up claiming anything other than black, because I was raised by a black mother and her black-Hispanic family members. My relationship with my father is distant; so I've never felt the responsibility to claim Portuguese despite that being my father's background. The few times we would visit Dad he never made us embrace his side. I believe that was because he was Americanized prior to meeting my mother. It was never enforced on me or my sister so we could never try and claim our father's race. Our hair was wiry, skin tones brown but too dark to be beige, broad facial structure, etc. Black was what we saw so black is what we claimed. Socially, we gravitated towards our black side. Never felt inclined to form social circles outside of them, we got in where we fit in. On the flip side I've met other mixed people with white fathers or non-bm fathers and bw mothers and they too showed some anti-black symptoms. An example: Since social-media has blown up you can find a lot of groups for bi-racial/ multi-racial people that do meet-ups or just talk on facebook. My sister joined one of these and she invites me from time to time. I've been to quite a few of these meet-ups (more than 15) and every time they meet all they do is talk mess about their non-white side (which is usually the mother's side). Most of what they say is just pettiness: Like getting dissed for having freckles or talking like a valley white girl, stuff like that. But every blue moon they'll say some slick shit. One of the more memorable quotes: "Black girls just mad cause they can't keep a man happy with steelwool hair and ghetto vernacular." I was like: Hope you don't say that with your moms. (The women who said that had a Puerto Rican daddy for the record) But, I suppose that's because a lot of them grew up outside of their mother's ethnic social circles, so when they get confronted by mom's side they don't know how to act. As a defense they clap back with some sly shit then pull the black card when someone calls them out. They only pull the black card when it benefits them and daddy's whiteness or non-blackness isn't an available option.
Don't get it twisted though -- there's not a damn thing wrong with being "half black" as you put it. Neither "black" people nor "white" people are better than "mixed" people, nor vice-versa. "Mixed" people are just people, and they're going to be affected by the race paradigm just like the rest of us. Live in the water, you're going to get wet. Live in america, and you're gonna be touched by the "race" equation one way or another. It's just that there's a "grain" to it, with whites at the top, blacks at the bottom and people "in between" vying for proximity to "white" to whatever extent they can claim... and distance from "black" to whatever extent they can claim. Race is bullshit, but racism is very very real, and it has its impact on people's psychology. In fact, practically the only way that "race" has impact on making you you is through the vector of racism. ...And it's all above most folks' heads, because most folks are dull as dirt. Anyways, for comic relief, here's an interesting little vid of a latin woman going around asking mexicans what "race" they are. You'd be surprised how many claim "white"... I like when the lady at 1:10 first says "white", then when pressed on it, kinda chuckles at herself and reverses her answer. :smt003 To their credit, most of them say stuff like "I don't know" before claiming white, or they'll say "I'm hispanic" initially -- which is the more accurate answer because culture is quite real... Unfortunately racism is a big part of hispanic culture :!:, so you get these fools claiming they're the same race as sweet baby jeezus... :smt003 [YOUTUBE]b6CxIu9QfMc[/YOUTUBE]
What's interesting when you think about it is the amount of hours wasted on this race shit could have propelled humanity into becoming a type 1 planetary system using the resources well living in harmony getting ready for space exploration. But nope we'd rather waste centuries arguing for skin pigmentation. Dumb as fuck
I was just saying that I'm glad that I don't have 2 or more different races of family to deal with.Dealing with family of one race can be hard enough.Don't get me started on racism in Hispanic culture.I know a lot about that due to my Bahamian roots.
