You don't know anything about black people. ALL blacks have been affected by slavery. ALL of us. You are removed from our situation and you only see our issues on the surface. You can’t dig the historical significance of our post.
Quote from: drowles on May 18, 2005, 12:05:15 PMBlack = StruggleNo Black = no struggle..That is such a sweeping and closed minded statement. There are plenty of people that would find this comment ridiculous.. I mean, I understand the point of the post, I just dont think its fair (to anyone) to make statements that label an entire group.. You have the second sentence backwards. It is not "no black = no struggle." As you have it written, the phrase implies that if so long as you are not black (you are white, blue, green, whatever), you are not struggling. This is patently false--struggle and suffering affect all people of all races and creeds (white, blue, green, whatever). What I DID say was that it would appear that if a black person is not struggling, then they are subject to criticism for not being black enough. (no struggle = no black)I based these remarks on observations made in my own life. I have seen how black people who are successful are often criticized by other black people for being whitewashed, or an oreo--basically, for not being black enough. But how can that be? Their skin color hasn't changed--only their level of income and education. And if we're to the point where it is socially unacceptable in some circles to be both black AND educated with a good income, we're at a sad, sad day...

The vast majority of blacks view themselves as inferior. This is the truth. At the very center of black identity is self-hatred drowles. Most of us hate everything black: schools, and businesses. Most of all we hate who we are because we are not white. It’s some deep sh*t. Goes back to centuries of slavery. Slave culture was passed down from generation to generation. Think about it. Slavery didn’t end 1,000 years ago. Hell, my grandmother knew someone that was a slave. That’s some deep sh*t when you can talk to someone who actually knew a slave in this country. As far as black people are concerned being black has nothing to do with the color of your skin. That is why Bill Clinton was voted as one of the greatest African-Americans in this country, and Collin Powel is considered a sell out cracker. Negros are messed up man.

Colin Powell is a sell out cracker because he didnt stand up to George W, Bill Clinton was voted a great president because he spent a lot of his time on the current plight of African Americans. I know several blacks who do not "hate who they are".. Its simply ridiculous to think that because a few of your friends hold this view.. or even all the blacks in your community that this is a view of the black population throughout the nation.. I dont take issue when people say "some blacks".. or "i know people who".. but when you say "all" or even "most".. you are stereotyping.. and its shameful in my opinion..

I am trying to have a civil discussion with you.. And by the way, I would never contend that you know NOTHING about white people just because you arent one.. We are all people dude... chill out.. we'll never get anywhere (race relation wise) with that attitude..
