Jesse Williams' BET Speech did you catch it?

with chemicals, yes.

 

Lol did you just pull the I'm not black enough to have an opinion bs. For one your experience is not the only fucking experience there is, again there is plenty of literature on colorism and you show how incredibly ignorant and misinformed you are by not doing a simple ass google search. And in his own damn words, his own reflection on his experience Jessie Williams acknowledges how being a light skin black man has helped his career but hey you obviously live his life for him so you know better.
One more time for the slow kids, I never said that being light skin freed you from any of the oppression that all blacks felt but there are levels to this shit. Yes it was hard for all black people to find employment but certain jobs where a person has to be visible and seen by the public its more likely for a lighter skin person to get a damn job.
And news flash Mississippi and Alabama are prime fucking examples of states where people who could pass would again whole publications on this shit but hey keep playing ignorant it suites you.

 

Shots fired huh bitch lol

 

You never been to Alabama and you say what?

 

so reading what other people who do live there say doesn't count?

 

Lol

U were trying to say Vanessa Williams could pass. You disqualified yourself.

Lol

On the real you are just a tad all worked up

You may want to stay in your lane

 

You're still seeing this color preference thing through the eyes of a Black person.

White people don't look at Black folk the way other Black folk do.

It's rare you'll find a White business owner make a decision on hiring two equally qualified Black candidates based on skin tone.

Only Black people are deep into that shit.
You ever heard the expression from Whites that, "all Black people look the same??"
Because in the minds of many of them, we might as well ALL be the same.
They aren't really spending all this time segregating us based on skin tone.:smt043


But Black folk??? We live for that shit.

You're just overlapping and mixing so much shit up.
How many Black people do you think honestly were passing down South??lol

Outside of someplace like southern Louisiana???
This is another example of the BS you spout cause you "read it in a book.""

It was such a rare instance and to use that as example of light skin privilege is moronic.

99% of light skinned Black folk did NOT pass, because they couldn't.

Again, most of this shit is abstract and academic to you.
There's a part of the history of Black American culture you're missing, for obvious reasons.

Just know that sometimes you say stuff about race, class and sociopolitics that sounds plain nutty, because it lacks any practical reality.

 

Says the guy that constantly whines like one. Your projections are A1 classic. :smt043:smt043:smt043


Keep them comming!

 

He's too much of a chicken to roll through North Carolina let alone Alabama. Even tho most black people live in the South.:smt043:smt043

Then has the nerve to call someone else a bitch. :smt005

 

So basically not blindly agreeing with you is whining ok got it lol

 

According to you. So its nutty and has no practical reality because you don't agree. So tell me how long were you white?

 

If you don't whine who does???


I can't wait for you to answer that.

 

Since you want to base everything on what you read, how about reading the dictionary. How is that blindly agreeing?? :lol:

 

You can't learn Blackness from a book.
Keep trying though.

You say a lot of shit as if it were fact because it was written down somewhere, and the fact is much of what you're saying are generalizations and mostly just plain wrong.


You dropped some nonsense like light skinned privilege and failed to provide any real examples of it.:smt017

Quit while you're behind.

 

What whine? I disagree with you that's it. Stop making it more. You know what we can just agree to disagree no one's position is moving on this.

 

Ok everything you are saying right now can simply be said when a white person or any non black person hears our struggles. Simply dismissing them doesn't make it untrue even if you yourself don't have to experience it.
And negro go fuck yourself with that learning "blackness" from a book bullshit. As if I don't have the same obstacles and struggles as yourself. Because I don't agree with your skewed perceptions I am all of sudden less black?
I provided real examples of light skinned privilege but you don't agree so they don't exist to you period the end.

 

Yep. I can't agree with someone who makes his own definitions. You have your own language now? Where do they speak that at?

 

Well its cool he is reading a book. Most fools would run away from one. On top of that most fools wouldn't watch a documentary about black history

I want to know wheres iRicardo and flame and the other dude who cosigned it saying its llogical.

They always kicking hatemongering crap in the forum that mostly goes unchecked.

Have Ricardo come back and backed his statement. Nope. Why?

He's a troll.

 

In any case going back to appropriations I'm kinda with the person who said its about using other people stuff and not knowing about, appreciating and not giving credit.

I think the people who went off on jt was being way over sensitive but I can see their point when it came to the Janet Jackson situation

 

Timberlake caught the backlash that he did for essentially being willfully ignorant to the fact he has benefited from black culture. Not only benefited but been embraced by black people.

Had he not responded in the somewhat condescending way that he did (or better yet not at all) to the person who called him out on the Janet Jackson SB scandal he would have been good. But he had to be the typical patronizing white person with his "You poor soul/We are all the same" response that came off sounding a little too much on the "All Lives Matter" end.
