Yeah but that just means Beethoven was the original Elvis.Beethoven is black? WuuuI don't know if you're aware of this, but whites are physically and mentally incapable of creating anything new or useful to the world. Everything they do or have done, has been stolen from other cultures. So of course beethoven was black.
That coli thread hahahah
King James was also Black, so was Yue Fei.
why are my people so superstitious :fbmDrowning men clutch at straws

Beethoven was pretty cool. I bet he could've been black if he set his mind to it.Maybe if he went blind instead of deaf.
"The feminization of black men" thing has been a trending topic amongst the 5%ers who congregate my barbershop. Same dudes who make sure their waves are 100% right, wear matching clothes, have to wear spotless shoes at all times...complaining about the white man turning our black brothers into bitches.Only women buy jordans, real men buy expensive euro sneakers.

It was only to get back at black people for stealing fried chicken and watermelon from us.QuoteWatermelon is thought to have originated in southern Africa, where it is found growing wild. It reaches maximum genetic diversity there, with sweet, bland and bitter forms. In the 19th century, Alphonse de Candolle[1] claimed the watermelon was indigenous to tropical Africa.[2] Though Citrullus colocynthis is often considered to be a wild ancestor of watermelon and is now found native in north and west Africa, it has been suggested on the basis of chloroplast DNA investigations that the cultivated and wild watermelon diverged independently from a common ancestor, possibly C. ecirrhosus from Namibia.[3]
Evidence of its cultivation in the Nile Valley was found from the second millennium BC. Watermelon seeds have been found at Twelfth Dynasty sites and in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.[4] Watermelon is also mentioned in the Bible as a food eaten by the ancient Israelites while they were in bondage in Egypt.[5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken#HistoryQuoteA number of West African cuisines featured dishes where chicken was fried, typically in palm oil, sometimes having been battered before. These would be served on special occasions in some areas, or sometimes sold in the streets as snacks in others.[6][7][8] This provided some means of independent economy for enslaved and segregated African American women, who became noted sellers of poultry (live or cooked) as early as the 1730s. Because of this and the expensive nature of the ingredients, it was, despite popular perception, a rare and special dish in the African-American community.[9]

Billionaire Says "Black Women Are For Grown Ups"http://www.balleralert.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2015113%3ABlogPost%3A1684312&commentId=2015113%3AComment%3A1684944&xg_source=activity#ixzz2edjpVHCK
This article was brought to my attention and I decided to share it with you all. More and more everyday billionaires are dating black women. While thousandaires and athletes have chosen to date "others" it seems that more and more wealth men (notice I didn't say rich) are dating women of color. Billionaire Ben Horowitz was said to have been quoted as saying “Billionaires prefer black women, they are loyal and guard your interests. Black wives are for grown ups” which led me to research billionaire men dating black women. So don't worry women. Your skin may not be light enough to snag a rapper, but you can still snag a billionaire business man. Just remember that to attract a billionaire you have to be Educated, have you own career/interests and have ambition. No dumb door knobs over here ladies!
Check out some of the lucky ladies below!
Martin Luther King taught black people how to be good house niccas, post slavery... dont fight to establish your own shit. Then when we integrate instead of children being educated on who they are, instead of them receiving teaches from our own people WHO KNOW THE TRUTH AND STRUGGLE, we whine and bitch for them to go to white peoples school. Now black kids dont know who the fuck they are. NO BLACK INDIVIDUAL IN AMERICA HAS ANY ORIGINALITY. Majority of the things we do has been DONE by somebody else. niccas wanna be gansters, dick riding Italians. Black women want European grade hair, coochie riding white women. Then till this very damn day THE RICHEST nicca IN AMERICA DONT EVEN OWN HIMSELF. In order to be rich, you have to be the white man RICH nicca BITCH. Meaning no matter how much money you make YOU DONT OWN SHIT!! If America can dictate ANYTHING about your possessions YA ASS DONT OWN IT!!!

i agree it's not black it's a so called black its different shades of brown that gook don't know anything he's a mongoloid with slander eyes born of incest he has down syndrome and incest is heavy in Japan
Lends new meaning to the term Black Irish, I'll say....That could very well have been the conspiratorial seed of this nonsense. :stahp
What's up with people thinking that you can only think or believe one thing at a time? How the fuck does being a feminist take away from also advancing your race?
This thread has become a catch-all for black shit, so I figured I'd put it here. But if I were to bring conspiracy into it...SMH @ the idea that this is a "white feminist" ploy to "distract" black women from the REAL ISSUES: racial civil rights. What's up with people thinking that you can only think or believe one thing at a time? How the fuck does being a feminist take away from also advancing your race?
Did they talk about how black people traveled to the Americas 2000 years ago?
"see this statue with african traits, which was found in a Native American temple? the big lips, big nose? clearly a black man traveled here first"
it's probably true...but who cares. One of the biggest things I remember my African American Studies class focusing on was the concept of vindication. Black men found America, black men ruled Egypt, etc...and the (European) white man hasn't given them credit. Sure it's shitty but what does that have to do with...you know, not getting important shit done in your own community? I couldn't care less about Columbus: what are you doing to address violence in your community, or after school programs for kids?
The thing I don't understand is...why does she give a fuck. What harm is being done to her? Feminine gay dudes don't exclusively talk to black women like that...they talk to everyone like that.
There are major hurdles between the communities, although I feel like most of them are propagated by black people. Specifically the general resentment of gay people, whether it's born from religious sentiment or hyper masculinity. Or this ridiculous idea about culture appropriation. Gay people referencing the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s in no way "steals" or lessons that movement.
And on another note...can we stop listing various shit some black people do as "black culture?" Twerking isn't "black culture," it's an urban dance that some black people do. You would never hear someone argue racketeering is Italian culture - it's something a certain group of Italians, ie mobsters, participation in. I can't take her argument seriously do to this shit.
If you're tired of gay white dudes allegedly trolling you, go hang out with someone else. Go hang out with black guys or something...assuming you can find one.

What is this about strong black women when feeling sad? I didn't get that in the article at all?

What is this about strong black women when feeling sad? I didn't get that in the article at all?
The article does take to task gay white men who like to call themselves black women, but you're right it doesn't specifically mention anything about feeling sad. I only added it because the times I've personally seen people call themselves black women, it was used as form of self empowerment. That if I'm as strong as a black woman I can overcome anything. This kind of usage might not be as widespread so feel free to disregard that part of the sentence if that's the case.
We have no problems with cacs posting in this thread. Just don't do any of your cactivities in here.*reaches for hair when he's not looking*

It means you're a tapdancing coon obviously. I tend to think of you that way based on your self-hating comments. I'd also put Oblivion in that category.
An abstraction isn't a metaphor. It often treads close to / steps over into straw man.
I find it a problematic abstraction for the reasons you described and others I don't feel it's relevant for me to share, but I didn't feel it was my place to label it as such itt.
Great post (point of disagreement aside).

To me the article read like it was more in opposition to gay white men and others pulling the whole "I'm a strong black woman" thing as though black women's identity is a costume you can throw on whenever you're feeling sad. Saying such racist things is harmful to black women in a lot of ways. The CNN piece focused a lot more on cultural appropriation, which I personally don't feel as strongly about. The line between participation and appropriation seems razor thin. Black people come up with a lot of cool shit, so it's understandable that others would also like to enjoy our stuff.
I don't really have a counter to the bolded. I'm reluctant to call racketeering a part of Italian culture only because viewing any kind of criminal activity as one of a group's defining characteristics is obviously pretty racist (Italian is more of a nationality than a race, but you get what I mean).
I'm curious as to why you're so resistant to accepting twerking as part of black culture though. Your comparison to racketeering above as well as previous comments on GAF tell me that you really don't like that idea. I'll concede that "it's an urban dance that some black people do" isn't strong criteria for making it a part of black culture, but let's just say for the sake of argument that this is a good reason. Is twerking such a negative thing to be associated with? Is it something to be ashamed of? What about sagging pants or AAVE? Those fall under the same category of "things associated with blackness that some black people wish weren't."
the whole holocaust thing in x-men...I just never saw that magneto being a holocaust survivor improved his character and severely limits him and makes the story more complicated than it should be.
How come people are fine with Jewish people having their own country but not with Black Americans separating ourselves from American society and making our own country? That was the crux of Malcolm's separatist argument. Is there something I'm missing?

Lots of people aren't and weren't fine with it, particularly the people who were dispossessed and disenfranchised by the creation of Israel. Many Americans are supportive because the US didn't have to give up anything, and the calls for a Jewish state didn't directly challenge the legitimacy of (white) American government or society. It's a lot easier to be sympathetic to ethnic nationalism when you're carving up someone else's nation.

Nah black people never got over it, and it seems even worse now as "light skin v dark skin" is bigger than before, at least for black women. I don't think it matters for dudes. There was always a dark skinned dude winning for us out chea, from Jordan to Wesley Snipes to Idris Elba today. Dark chicks haven't really had that since Lupita guess...
Himu: I guess Houston is different. When I was in Texas I saw a lot of black women with natural hair styles, whereas here there are a lot of weaves or straightened hair.
I'm talking about Ypsilanti, which is like 10 minutes away from Ann Arbor. Lots of weaves, especially amongst younger and older women. The women in the middle, say 28-35, often have natural hair styles though. I rarely see a black women with a big curly hairdo outside of my ladyfriend.

I thought it was pronounced Kah-vee. I was sorta close? :stahp
On top of that my dad was understandably upset (he named me) he's like "you don't like the name I gave you?" saddest thing is my name isn't even hard to say. It's two syllables yet people here have been struggling with it my whole damn life, so I switched to my single syllable name.
Just fucking annoying, man.
that moment when you feel empathy for and have common ground with Squiddy :fbmHey, we're brown, you should have seen it coming.
well not really. my family on both sides were assembled ragtag from indentured slavery, and most of us at this generation are floating between cultures etc. For example you have a defined choice between being more like a kurd or being more like a swede.Unfortunately your surroundings don't necessarily respect your choice. It's rarely malicious and kind of understandable, since assuming one way or the other can be problematic too. Can't win if you're obviously 'foreign' in some way.
I still go by Yazeed, cause it's not difficult at all to say and is a unique name that I've grown attached to. Some people call me Yahtzee, and i much prefer that over " oh it's yujeij! eugene!? ezekial?" where I can tell it's not trolling but they're trying to seem cultured in thinking I'm giving them a simpler way of saying it. It's Yazeed, pronounced ye-zeed, "ye" like in "yen", "zeed" like in "weed". Shit is simple as fuck.

Meh, talk is cheap. Maybe actually do something about it.
Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson proposed legislation on Thursday aimed at demilitarizing domestic police forces, amid national criticism of heavily armed cops going after protesters in Ferguson, Mo.
"Our main streets should be a place for business, families, and relaxation, not tanks and M16s," the Democratic congressman wrote in a "Dear Colleague" letter to members of Congress. "Unfortunately ... our local police are quickly beginning to resemble paramilitary forces."

I was talking to a socialist friend a few years ago about some things, and he brought up Obama's OFA organizing group. After Obama won the election he didn't do anything with OFA; he used it as an organizing tool to get elected and then moved to Washington. My friend was never an Obama fan, but he noted how intrigued he was by the 2008 campaign, and how shocked he was that a legit community organizer like Obama would just discard such a valuable vehicle. Imagine if Obama had found a way to transition the various OFA branches into local activism, local elections, etc. All those people who were trained could have easily helped take over school boards across the country, among other things.They didn't discard it, they just transitioned it into more beneficial purposes for the organizers...
What is the OFA; sounds like a terrorist group
We need a decisive list of black owned American businesses. Need to support our own and build up our communities and follow Asians lead.

That completely sucks. Nothing worse than that feeling.
I once had a car full of fellow college students drive by me while I was running shouting "hey distinguished black fellow, what store did you rob?" and "got any fucking crack?".....about a mile down the road they got a flat tire. A million options went through my head including death and dismemberment. However when I got there I just ran by and said "have a super day guys" and watched as the jackals became sheep. I played ball at this time and was going about 230 pounds at the time....fyi....biggest one of them might have been pushing 170 pounds.
edit: Nice autocorrect, didn't know that happened. Anyway I assure you they didn't call me a distinguished black fellow lol.

Ann Arbor?
:whew\
There are a lot of decent people there (hell, I live there) but it's true you get to see quite an interesting dynamic of poor white people trying to shit on blacks and Hispanics. My brother used to live in an apartment around here and I helped him move in. Naturally we had his door open since we were constantly bringing items into the room. At one point the 40something yo white chick n the apartment room opposite of his walked up to us and was like "moving in? Cool. I hope you boys won't be playing your rap music loud all night." I kind of diffused things by jokingly saying "actually I'm just helping him move in, and yes he's very loud :heh "
She wasn't amused, I could tell she was serious.
:beli
I've been here since about 1998 or so, iirc; my fam moved from Detroit to Ypsi. Used to live in an apartment on Carpenter before moving to the suburban area of Ypsi with the family. Been living near EMU for awhile, during and after college.
And yes I know what BW3 you're talking about. My dad goes to the new-ish one all the time but fuck that. I used to like going but too many assholes in the crowd.

Recommending ethnic people restaurants with food they've eaten their whole lives is a classic, top-tier cactivity.Christ. This so much.
what'd they say? "hey i know where you can get good sushi" or somethingJust stuff along the lines of, "Are you okay with eating American food?" Then again, a lot of these white BJU students where homeschooled or went to private schools with predominantly white student bodies.
what'd they say? "hey i know where you can get good sushi" or something
It's usually more offensive than that. Think of some of the most most generic menu items from an ethnic restaurant, and the white person will be like dude, " :gladbron have you ever had ____________ ? It's so good! You should check out Golden India Tiger Palace!"
This of course doesn't apply to Mexican food.
There's a Chinese place in town that has two menus one for the cac professors and one for the actual Chinese students. And they deliberately used the worst sounding translations possible for the "actual Chinese food" part of the menu. :lol

One of my favorite real life troll talking points revolves around spanking. Whenever I hear my mom and her black friends discuss spanking, they always point out the wild white kids in the neighborhood who aren't spanked and act like fools. And I just point out that if spanking is so helpful and such a contrast between black and white kids, how come black children are more likely to be involved in the criminal justice system and go to jail as adults?
(http://i.imgur.com/rVtN8WL.png)

Spanking is child abuse.
There is no excuse for it.

Was just at the supermarket and overheard these old WASP (?) ladies going on and on about how jews are evil, sexually perverse, and alcoholics (is this a thing)? Always find it so :whew to hear caucasians hating on each other. Reminds me of my now-dead grandpa telling me south Indians are ugly and weak, and that their language sounds like a pinball machine ( :dead ). He was a twat.
I've been meaning to establish some sort of CAC hierarchy for a minute now based on what I've observed in America. Basically I can't say I have it finished but I'm fairly sure Germans and the English are on top, and eastern euros are the cac underclass. Religion is a whole different story.

I don't trust racial theories from from Indians. They are all like 'Aryan' this and 'Aryan' that. I only trust racial theories from Germans because they are like 'Aryan' this and 'Aryan' that.

It's funny how white money has propped up hip hop since day one, yet now people are mad labels are pushing white rappers beyond just Eminem. Go see any rapper live and tell me what the audience looks like. White women dominate record purchases. If black people want to "take things back" they can start by buying some fucking music, or going to concerts. I've seen Robert Glasper and Esperanza Spalding live and was was one of the only black people there. SMH.
I like Macklemore. Not in the sense that I like his music, but in the sense that he brings diversity to rap. And diversity is good, right?
It's really baffling how folks claim hiphop is on a decline and how the majority of it is subpar now, but absolutely will not support what they do like. Will rant and rave about the leak but come release date? "I aint got it breh...it's real out here (http://i5.minus.com/ib0QmYLL3apxWu.png)"
Now I'm no saint, I download albums too, but I make it a point to support artists I genuinely like and want to see succeed (even if I just keep the CDs in their shrinkwrap and just play the mp3s)

While the same could be said for lots of genres when people say hip-hop is in decline or they don't like modern hip-hop, they mean the mainstream stuff that people listen to either on the radio, or the stuff that was popular on the enthusiast shows like yo mtv raps/ rapcity, etc.
Yes there was also bad stuff that was popular but it really was easier to navigate and find the good stuff.
I think it is much much harder to do that today. The popular stuff is shit. And its much harder to just kick on the TV and listen to really good hip hop. So the impression the average person gets is that most of it is shit.
just my opinion.
There is also just a generation gap. There are a lot of older people who grew up liking hip hop but who don't have the time to spend looking for the good stuff and who are really really detest the mainstream stuff now.

I see what you're saying and you're not wrong, but I can't agree with folks not having the time to search for the good stuff. Yes, it's not as abundant as it was way back when as far as the radio or TV (though I can't think of anything now that would show videos on the regular on non-premium cable other than 106 and Park on BET and that's practically a fossil at this point), but it couldn't be easier to look for it today. All it takes is a quick Google search to find a treasure trove of good music, be it legally or illegally. Hell, if you have time to register on a forum and complain about the state of hiphop, you've got time to look for stuff that's more to your taste. :yeshrug

For what it's worth, I think the genre is in a much better state than it was 10 years ago. Those days were terrible. I think it's the best its been since the late 90's. It's just that I outgrew it. Still can jam though.

Funny you say that. The most bizarre racial experience of my young life was at a McDonalds in Alabama on the way to Gulf Shores. We got our food, sat down and then realized that the restaurant was full but dead quiet. And that we were in the middle of it. Surrounded one half by black oeople and white people on the other half, both giving us glances and muttering shit. Had a young Esch pretty creeped out. My dad and mom ended up picking all our food up and we drove off in the car.

What's the longest you've gotten it to grow? Mine is really curly/nappy so it's always short. I didn't get a cut from September-early December and it was still less than an inch off of my head when I combed it. I've gone much longer without shaving it in the past and it always stops growing at about the same point.
And yeah my mom always made me go to the barber about once a month too. She would tell me I could keep it if I brushed and combed regularly but I never felt like doing that. Still don't really.

I think what it's saying, given the tags on the tumblr post is as much as we cry unity we're still divded. In the sense that we don't ride for black women, or women in general the way we ride for our men. That we should be fighting more for each other instead of focusing on where all these lines are drawn (in this case im specifically talking about black people as a whole regardless of gender/sexuality).

Alabama Ex-Cop Indicted For Body Slamming Indian Grandfatherhttp://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/eric-sloan-parker-charged-unreasonable-force-slamming-grandfather
A former Alabama police officer was brought up on federal civil rights charges stemming from a February incident that left a visiting Indian grandfather partially paralyzed, the Justice Department announced Friday.
A federal grand jury handed down a one-count indictment against Eric Sloan Parker, 26, for allegedly injuring the man by slamming him to the ground. Parker subsequently turned himself in and was arrested on third-degree assault charges. He was later fired from the Madison, Ala. Police Department.
The indictment alleges Parker "deprived the man in Madison of his right under the U.S. Constitution to be secure from unreasonable seizures, which includes the right to be free from unreasonable force by someone acting under color of law," according to a Justice Department press release.
Sureshbhai Patel was visiting his son in Madison when Parker allegedly stopped him while he was walking in his son's neighborhood on Feb. 6. Graphic dash cam video of the stop showed an officer slamming Patel into the ground. Patel is identified only as "S.P" in the Justice Department press release.
The ex-police officer's attorney told the Associated Press that his client would plead not guilty to the federal charges.
"We are shocked, disappointed and overwhelmed by all the ways Eric Parker is coming under attack," attorney Robert Tuten told the AP by email. "However, we are looking forward to seeing the indictment and having our day in court."
Patel has also filed a civil lawsuit against Parker, according to the AP.
We all live with the choices we make.

I discovered that being a black man had some fairly interesting upsides — other than giving me a leg up with medical schools, was that suddenly women SAW me.

Yet Obama wasn’t too frightened to confront West. According to Jonathan Alter’s 2013 book, The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies, at the 2010 National Urban League convention, Obama barked at West, “I’m not progressive? What kind of shit is this?” Other foul words were uttered, West added, and Obama “cussed me out.” A photo of the exchange exists: West frozen like a dear brother in the headlights as he smiled broadly and stood speechless.

EXCLUSIVE - An analysis of social media traffic in downtown Baltimore Monday has unearthed striking connections to the protests in Ferguson, Mo. last year, according to a leading data mining firm that shared its findings exclusively with Fox News.
The firm, which asked to remain anonymous because of its government work, found between 20 and 50 social media accounts in Baltimore that were also tied to the peak period of violence in Ferguson. While further analysis is being conducted on the data, it suggests the presence of "professional protesters" or anarchists taking advantage of Freddie Gray's death to incite more violence.
...
One account, which also tracked the recent union protests in New York City as well as other disturbances, tweeted photos of Gray's funeral and used language that seemed to anticipate violence in Baltimore.
The discovery that some social media accounts were tied to cities 825 miles apart was described to Fox News as “surprising.” While it is possible to spoof accounts and make it appear as if someone is in one location when they are really in another, the data mining firm told Fox News that it can’t fully explain the numbers.
The use of social media to fuel violence in Baltimore has already been highlighted by law enforcement. On Monday, police said an online call was issued for a "purge" at 3 p.m. ET, starting at Mondawmin Mall and ending in the downtown area. That type of threat is based on a movie called “The Purge,” the plot of which involves rampant lawlessness.
The Washington Times also reported Monday that law enforcement intelligence officials issued a warning after someone sent a text urging people to “kill all white police officers” in reaction to Gray’s death. The text has fueled fears that the violence in Baltimore could spread nationally, according to safety memos obtained by The Washington Times.

The discovery that some social media accounts were tied to cities 825 miles apart was described to Fox News as “surprising.”
The funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died in police custody this month, had ended hours earlier at a nearby church. According to the Baltimore Sun, a call to "purge"—a reference to the 2013 dystopian film in which all crime is made legal for one night—circulated on social media among school-aged Baltimoreans that morning. The rumored plan—which was not traced to any specific person or group—was to assemble at the Mondawmin Mall at 3 p.m. and proceed down Pennsylvania Avenue toward downtown Baltimore. The Baltimore Police Department, which was aware of the "purge" call, prepared for the worst. Shortly before noon, the department issued a statement saying it had "received credible information that members of various gangs…have entered into a partnership to 'take-out' law enforcement officers."
When school let out that afternoon, police were in the area equipped with full riot gear. According to eyewitnesses in the Mondawmin neighborhood, the police were stopping busses and forcing riders, including many students who were trying to get home, to disembark. Cops shut down the local subway stop. They also blockaded roads near the Mondawmin Mall and Frederick Douglass High School, which is across the street from the mall, and essentially corralled young people in the area. That is, they did not allow the after-school crowd to disperse.
Mother Jones has an interesting piece on how the riots in Baltimore got started:Quote from: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/04/how-baltimore-riots-began-mondawmin-purgeThe funeral of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died in police custody this month, had ended hours earlier at a nearby church.

So is the police freaking out over reports of some kind of super-gang starting a war on cops.

Conservatives base this logic—that the city somehow proves government investment and social programs are bad policy—on a selective history of Baltimore, noting for instance that its residents have elected only one non-Democratic mayor since the 1940s.
Federal and local policymakers of the time redlined areas with "undesirable racial concentrations" to omit them from mortgage insurance programs.
And over the century, the same neighborhoods faced one destructive policy after another, from mass incarceration to the rise of predatory banks.
“If the goal of early segregationist policies was to concentrate black Baltimoreans in a single location, separated from opportunity, then it worked,” Jamelle Bouie writes at Slate. “More importantly, it’s never been unraveled; there’s never been a full effort to undo and compensate for the policies of the past. Indeed, the two decades of drugs and crime that marred Baltimore in the 1980s and 1990s helped entrench the harm and worsen the scars of the city’s history.”
throughout Baltimore’s history, lawmakers at the local, state, and federal level adopted policies that entrenched poverty and segregation in the city.Democrats couldn't have failed Baltimore during their reign of absolute power because they adopted bipartisan, corrupt and wrongheaded policies, just like Republicans do!
As the Washington Post notes, research from the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center on Society and Health shows that the segregated black neighborhoods of the 1930s “still have lower rates of homeownership and college attainment and higher rates of poverty and segregation today—as well as worse health outcomes.” Another fact from the Post: “From 1951 to 1971, 80 to 90 percent of the 25,000 families displaced in Baltimore to build new highways, schools and housing projects were black.” Only a decade ago, banks marketed subprime mortgages to poor black homebuyers, leading to a wave of foreclosures.
The tough-on-crime approach WSJ suggests only made things worse. During Thomas Carcetti's mayorship, arrests spiked as police swept up people for offenses as minor as loitering by targeting low-income neighborhoods with Carcetti's database, CitiState. Today, neighborhoods like Sandtown-Winchester in West Baltimore, which is 97 percent black and where half the households earn less than $25,000 a year, are still reeling from these policies.

“I just feel like I didn’t mislead anybody; I didn’t deceive anybody,” Dolezal told Vanity Fair. “If people feel misled or deceived, then sorry that they feel that way, but I believe that’s more due to their definition and construct of race in their own minds than it is to my integrity or honesty, because I wouldn’t say I’m African-American, but I would say I’m black, and there’s a difference in those terms.”
Black people think in terms of we because we live in a society where the social and political structures interact with us as Black people.
White people do not think in terms of we. White people have the privilege to interact with the social and political structures of our society as individuals.

What I love is that, no matter what the person's background his and whatever the site they decide to engage on with their schtick, they trot out the same ridiculous copy-paste about Diop, paintings and king's surnames.
These corny mother fuckers always about that Egyptian shit when our ancestors were from west Africa :neogaf it never ceases to be comedy how they pump their chest with the idea of black pride while at the same time unironically throwing their ancestors to the bushes by fetishing a single culture and country that our victims of the diaspora didn't even hail from.

According to the Sun Sentinel, Everett kidnapped her daughter to keep her from being vaccinated, attending preschool and learning about black history.
Everett's boyfriend at the time, Carlos Lesters, was reportedly a gun and confederate flag enthusiast. Having weapons around Lilly made Baumann uncomfortable, he said.
Before disappearing, Everett left this letter to Lester: "You are a great dad. If I let them take her and vaccinate her and brainwash her, I wouldn't be doing what's right. I cannot let a judge tell me how my daughter should be raised. We will miss you. But I had to leave."

Summary: poor black St. Louis area school district fails so hard it loses accreditation, allowing a thousand of its students to bus to a middle class, white district and creating an unintended experiment in integration. The audio of some of the white parents at the public meeting is... something.

Because when I was five, my kindergarten classmate told me I couldn’t be the princess in the game we were playing because black girls couldn’t be princesses. Because I was in third grade the first time a teacher seemed shocked at how “well-spoken” I was. Because in fourth grade I was told my crush didn’t like black girls. Because in sixth grade a different crush told me I was pretty — for a black girl. Because in 7th grade my predominantly black suburban neighborhood was nicknamed “Spring Ghettos” instead of calling it its name (Spring Meadows). Because I was in 8th grade the first time I was called an Oreo and told that I “wasn’t really black” like it was a compliment.
Because in 9th grade when I switched schools a boy told me he knew I had to be mixed with something to be so pretty. Because in 10th grade my group of friends and I were called into an office and asked if we were a gang, or if we had father figures. Because in 11th grade my AP English teacher told me that I didn’t write like a college-bound student (though I later scored perfectly on the exam). Because when I volunteered in Costa Rica that summer, I was whistled at and called Negrita. Because when I asked my host father if that was like being called distinguished black fellow, he said, no, it was a compliment because black women are perceived to be very good in bed. Because I was a kid. Because I watched from the bleachers while the school resource officer didn’t let my brother into a football game after mistaking him for another black boy who was banned. Because the school resource officer maced him for insisting he was wrong. Because I was suspended for telling the school resource officer he didn’t deserve respect. Because my senior year boyfriend said distinguished black fellow.
Because I was one of two black girls in the freshman class at my college. Because at meetings to talk about how to attract more black students, someone suggested that the school attracted a certain demographic (sustainable living, farming, general hippiness) and that maybe black people “just weren’t interested in things like that.” Because my college boyfriend called me a “fiery negress” as a joke when he ordered for me at a restaurant. Because the boyfriend after that cut me off for saying he was privileged. Because I can’t return to my hometown without getting pulled over.
Because when I got married people assumed I was pregnant. Because people who know I’m married call my husband my “baby daddy.” Because my pregnancy with my son was plagued with videos of black lives being taken in cold blood. Because their murderers still walk the streets. Because the nation sent me a message that my son’s life didn’t matter. Because when Tamir Rice was murdered I curled up on the bed and sobbed, cupping my belly. Because my son heard me sobbing from the inside. Because they don’t care about us. Because when I was 7 months pregnant my neighbor asked me to help him move a dresser up a flight of stairs. Because I am not seen as a woman. Because I am not allowed to be fragile. Because the nurse that checked me in at the hospital to deliver wouldn’t look my husband in the eye. Because the vast majority of people won’t look my husband in the eye. Because when the doctors put my son in my arms and I saw that he was as dark as his father, I knew life would be even harder for him. Because he will be regarded the same way I was. Because he will be forced to grow up before he is grown. Because strangers at the store think it’s okay to reach into my son’s stroller and touch him without a word to me. Because we aren’t entitled to boundaries. Because they think we are here for their enjoyment. Because people don’t think we are people.
Because my nephew told me he couldn’t be Spider Man like he wants to because Spider Man is white. Because when he was four he said that he wants to be white so that he can go on a boat like the people on TV. Because I couldn’t save him from that. Because I can’t protect my son. Because I can’t protect myself. Because my stomach sinks whenever I see a police car. Because when my husband leaves the house at night I am afraid he’ll be killed for looking like somebody. Because I worry that if I went missing like the 64,000 other black women in this nation, the authorities wouldn’t try hard to find me. Because I am disposable. Because I am hated. Because we keep dying. Because they justify our deaths. Because no one is held accountable. Because I am gas lighted. Because I have been told that by speaking about being oppressed I am victimizing myself. Because our murders are filmed and still pardoned. Because I don’t know what it means to let loose. Because doing the things that my white peers do with ease could cost me my life — trespassing in abandoned buildings, smoking joints, wearing a hoodie, looking an officer in the eye, playing music loudly, existing. Because I am afraid to relax. Because I am traumatized.
Because there isn’t a place in the world White Supremacy hasn’t touched. Because I am trapped here. Because the playing field isn’t leveled. Because I love my skin. Because I love being a woman. Because not hating myself is considered radical. Because I’ve been called racist for defending myself. Because all the major protests are for cis black men. Because I’ve been told that talking about the women who’ve died is taking away from the real issue. Because I get no break from fighting. Because everything is a struggle. Because my anger isn’t validated. Because they don’t care about my pain. Because they don’t believe in my pain. Because they forgive themselves without atoning. Because I’m not free. Because the awareness of it permeates everything. Because it’s not ending. Because they teach the children that it’s already ended. Because someone will assert their supremacy over me today. Because they’ll do it tomorrow. Because I want more. Because I deserve better.
I'm angry all the time over the past few weeks watching the trajectory of the United States. As a black American it scares me how little this nation cares for us. The amount of police brutality booming makes me fear my family's future. I cannot get over the anger that tells me that black lives don't matter. I'm working on a two way street. On one hand, my compassion pains me because it's treating an entire group - one I'm a part of - as less than human. On the other, this compassion is driving me to suffering.
It's getting a point where I'm taking my anger out on people I like and I'm losing compassion for everything. It's turning me into a fairly miserable person. But I can't let it go and it won't go away. I'm usually highly empathetic. Meditation and buddhism have helped me to become a better person, and while I realize that's not the inherent point, it was a nice bonus feature. But here I am incapable of applying everything I learned and it's hurting me and people I love. It honestly scares me. I know it won't be this way forever but I'm losing patience. I tried to talk to my abbot at my zen center this past week and they're having a(nother) sesshin. I swear they have a sesshin every month, good lord. I feel like I have no one to run to for advice. Not even meditation is helping.
Still not sure whether Mods Help is still some troll from neofeg or maybe someone entirely new.
What do you not understand about it? It's not a stupid concept.
What do you not understand about it? It's not a stupid concept.
How is it even relevant to that article?
The only way I can think of is that a bunch of white people are expressing (dumb) opinions about the wiz without putting it in its historic/social context, and that is them taking something that should belong to black people and trying to use it for their own benefit. And that's super silly because you know have a way of basically voiding any opinion you don't like and this is how I feel like I've seen the term used on the internet.
I'm not saying it is always a stupid concept just that it is being overused to the point of being silly.
I also tend to think any kind of cultural protectionism is silly though, especially when it comes to language. Its also way to prescriptionist for my tastes.
Honestly cultural appropriation is one of the stupidest concepts that I probably don't actually understand.
The Wiz is not a good movie.
Black Boy is my favorite novel. Will come up with some other recommendations when I get home.
I'd hope that more young black people are introduced to black literature given what's happening in the country today. When I read Black Boy the first time I was a little kid nosing through my big cousin's university homework because she told me I was too young to understand it. I read the book and didn't "get" it, needless to say. But I read it multiple times thereafter, as a teen and then as an adult, and each time found it enlightening.
I think it was Coates who said that reading about black history prevented him from continuing down a rather ugly intellectual path. He didn't use the phrase but it was clear he was referring to the Hotep mindset. He argued that learning about blacks who sold blacks into slavery and all the complexities of the issues helped him avoid the mythological view that certain blacks have about things. IE that we were once great, powerful, peaceful kings until the white man ruined it all. In reality we were humans, and guilty of all the vices and fallings of other humans.

But wasn't their definition of slavery much different than the chattel slavery they were sold into? Chattel slavery is uniquely trans atlantic. When they thought of slaves was it really the same type of slaves we think of? I think that when arguing that you have to have a bit of context through into it. Of course, I could be entirely wrong. It honestly sounds similar to the Natives "selling" their land and not understand the repercussions.

You're right that chattel slavery was a unique European and Arab practice, but some African tribes were pretty fucking brutal when it came to slavery and tribal warfare. Slavery as indentured servitude was not practiced across Africa, it existed in various tribes but wasn't the norm. And there were tribes that later learned how brutal European slavery was yet continued to sell their slaves.
The general point was not that "both sides do it" or whatever, but that the issue is more complex than some would like us to believe.

Martin Luther King, Jr: In A Class of His Own
Editor's note: This column is an excerpt from Crystal Wright's new book, "Con Job: How Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering, and Racial Division."
When was the last time anyone heard the “Reverend” Al Sharpton give a sermon? I mean a real one, not a rant that incites racial unrest. Ever since Sharpton came to the defense of Tawana Brawley in 1987, knowing she HAD lied in accusing white men of raping her, he’s been a professional race profiteer. Not only did Tawana lie, she lied big time: spreading dog feces on herself then hiding in a trash can to stage her rape. After Al “marched” in defense of Brawley, a grand jury concluded Brawley had concocted a “hoax” and the lawyers who represented her were disbarred. Steven Pagones, a Dutchess County assistant district attorney, was one of the men Brawley, Sharpton, and her advisors Alton H. Maddox Jr. and C. Vernon Mason accused of raping her. In 1998 Pagones won a defamation lawsuit against the three race-baiting stooges, who were ordered to pay Pagones $345,000 in damages. Brawley was also sued by Pagones and ordered to pay over $400,000 in damages, which she only began paying in 2013.27 In 1988 People magazine referred to Sharpton, pictured with Brawley on the cover its magazine, as “a belligerent black activist” whose actions were a “disgrace.” Today, a thinner, tailored-suit-wearing Sharpton works as a well-paid TV host of MSNBC’s PoliticsNation.
The “Reverend” Al has also been quite successful in not paying over $4 million owed in federal and New York state taxes. Obama’s IRS was masterful at targeting conservative groups from 2010 through 2012 to silence their influence in elections by delaying or not approving their applications for tax-exempt nonprofit status. But you mean to tell me the IRS can’t make Al Sharpton pay the $3 million in back taxes he owes the federal government? In spite of his lawlessness, Sharpton has visited the Obama White House about eighty times. Apparently our Democrat president buys into Al’s hustle. Or, like the Democrat Party in general, he finds it useful for winning elections. The first black president’s embrace of Sharpton—enabling him to pose as a spokesman for us all—should show black Democrats how little Obama thinks of black people. Sharpton calls the president, governors, and congressmen his friends, just like Jesse Jackson, who pops up like a jack-in-the-box at every racial riot or protest alongside him.
But Al and Jesse aren’t alone in belonging to the “black spokesperson” club. When “an unarmed black teen” is killed under America’s first black president, the media also call upon Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West to be the mouthpieces for black America.
As the Class of 1943 University Professor at Princeton University, West is best known for his book Race Matters. If he were intellectually honest, West would say race matters for keeping him employed, just like so many other black professors working in “Black Studies Departments” at colleges across the country. Dyson is another black professor, an “ordained Baptist minister” turned spokesperson for the black race. Like West, Dyson’s only qualification for the job of speaking for an entire race seems to be his skin color.
As a professor of theology, English, and African American studies at Georgetown University, in 2011 Dyson taught a three-credit course on the black rap/hip-hop star Jay Z: “Sociology of Hip-Hop: Urban Theodicy of Jay-Z.” “His body of work has proved to be powerful, effective and influential. And it’s time to wrestle with it,” Dyson recalled in an interview, as if he were analyzing the work of a great writer like William Shakespeare or James Baldwin. Hip-hop lyrics, including Jay Z’s, are notorious for glorifying gangsta behavior: crime, killing, and treating women like “bitches and hoes.” Yet Dyson found Jay Z’s song-writing talents were critical to the education of Georgetown students, who paid $40,000 in tuition that year.
These are the credentials—race hustler, black preacher, or black studies professor—that catch the eye of liberal news organizations. Democrat-allied journalists further insult blacks when they class Sharpton in the company of true civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, and Rosa Parks. The news media and Democrat politicians know all too well that Sharpton and the rest of the black leaders are nothing more than liberal con artists. That’s why they promote them, because they know blacks keep following the voice of these black Pied Pipers right to the Democrat ballot box without questioning their motives. The day blacks decide to question why black leaders are getting richer every election cycle while the black race wades deeper into an economic wasteland will be the day blacks own political power. “Still today, the best way to make a black leader mad is to say to him that black Americans are capable of being fully responsible for their own advancement,” wrote Shelby Steele. This is quite a revealing point that black Americans should spend some time thinking about. The livelihood of black leaders like Sharpton and others is based upon the Democrat precept that blacks are irresponsible degenerates, buried under a mountain of ignorance—and forever needing to be rescued by the Democrat Party.
If anyone doubts that the mainstream media fails to tell the truth about our political system (and its true winners and losers), the spectacle of large majorities of black folks supporting Hillary Clinton in the primary races ought to be proof enough. I can't believe Hillary would be coasting into the primaries with her current margin of black support if most people knew how much damage the Clintons have done - the millions of families that were destroyed the last time they were in the White House thanks to their boastful embrace of the mass incarceration machine and their total capitulation to the right-wing narrative on race, crime, welfare and taxes. There's so much more to say on this topic and it's a shame that more people aren't saying it. I think it's time we have that conversation.
So far "Sugar in the Blood: A Family's Story of Slavery and Empire" is the only response I've gotten.
“A guy who has molested a small child every day for a year could still come out as a low risk because he probably has a job,” Boessenecker said. “Meanwhile, a drunk guy will look high risk because he’s homeless. These risk factors don’t tell you whether the guy ought to go to prison or not; the risk factors tell you more about what the probation conditions ought to be.”
I feel PD's pain.
Just recently found out from my coworker who spends all his weekends with hookers that most hookers in our area have a strict no arab, only expat policy. A lot of the same Hos are arab.
Am I black yet?
I don't understand black innuendo. Who fucks with shoes on?
I also don't understand black people going for fat white women.

BLM in Toronto is really scummy.
A judge has ordered Macy’s to immediately quit detaining and fining people suspected of shoplifting. A class action lawsuit claims that Macy’s detained at least two women suspected of shoplifting in holding cells for hours in the basement of the chain’s flagship in New York. Both women were forced to pay the store while in detention, a practice known as “civil recovery,” then turned over the NYPD and criminally charged.
Be careful with Sizzla. Something happened around 99 or so and he started making real hardcore dancehall and going hard on the homophobia.This was one of my reasons for avoiding Jamaican music in the past. Eventually, I realized it wasn't really fair since I'm able to appreciate the entertainment value of other media while remaining opposed to their prejudices. I was holding reggae and dancehall to a higher standard purely because it was a part of Jamaican culture. I may never be completely consistent in deciding whether or not to consume art that spreads hate, but I don't want it to limit what I can learn about my background.
It's clear I have pushed her to the edge of frenzy, so I decide to discuss something about the book that will not push her over that edge. I talk to her about the foreword by her adopted dad, Albert Wilkerson Jr. It's sympathetic. "You have a community that has stuck by you through this," I say. At that point, she breaks down and starts crying.
