I hope you didn't get me wrong Anonymous, I wasn't commentating on your personal parenting style - that is your business.

I'm brown, the thread is calling out for the browns, so calm it, bo.
Accept people having different opinions and move on.

The Coli expose thread on that movie

"Oh she's mixed and dating a white man? Fuckouttahere bedwench."

[Phoenix Dark]

The movie always looked like trash to me. The dialogue doesn't sound natural at all, especially when compared to natural films like Do The Right Thing.

I hate to stereotype but a lot of mixed people have fucked up views on black people.

I agree with her video overall but at the same time there's nothing wrong with having a regional diction. You aren't speaking "wrong" if you're from Louisiana and pronounce shit differently from my Michigan ass.

The thing I really agree with is the "acting/talking white" self hate. What are you saying about yourself as a black person when you say being smart and reading=acting white? What is "acting black" then? I've always had very good diction and pronunciation,  probably because my parents stressed it and most of my uncles/aunts/etc speak fluently. Black kids used to give me a lot of shit for the way I talked, the fact that I read, my musical taste, etc. And I'd catch feelings and began to hate being associated with black people. And even after our "moving on up" moment where we moved from Detroit to the suburbs I still had to deal with a handful of black kids who said that shit. But then I ran into white kids who told me the exact same thing...

And yea, I may have had some satisfaction on the "at least they think I'm better than other black people!" coon tip, deep down I knew that shit was wack.

[Madrun Badrun]

The problem with her argument is that it doesn't really have anything to do about education or fluently.  For education, it is conflating two issues,  African American vernacular and a poor education.  There is no reason why some one can not speak intelligently and still say 'aks'.  A lack a vocabulary and the ability to speak well are problems with education not the language and so telling people just to speak differently doesn't actually solve the issue. 

It also progresses racism when people say that that standard English is more 'fluent' when they really mean more prestigious.  Seriously, no one would go into a school in Newfoundland and tell students that they need to learn proper English in order to get better jobs and yet that is an acceptable thing to tell black kids.  Non-standard dialects that other white people speak for the most part might seem less prestige or even dumb, say for example a southern drawl, but no ones tells these people to change the way they speak.  Peoples opinions on African American vernacular are disproportional to their options of other dialects; Cajun English is quaint and speaks to the history of a peoples where African American vernacular is just blacks being lazy.

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 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 ( ). He was a twat.

Bro there is a whole rabbit hole here. Baptists hate Catholics who hate Lutherans who hate Methodists. Everybody shits on 7th day adventists and pentacostals. And sitting somewhere on the bottom of the white religious hierarchy is the Jewish and Jehova Witnesses.

It's complicated man, I'm still learning. Small town suburb america is a cesspool of white on white hate.

[Phoenix Dark]

Fuck Calvinists and Jehova's Witnesses. And I'm not even religious anymore.

[Am_I_Anonymous]

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've lift in a few places.....It's trick (religion)

Around here in Ohio it's definitely a baptist hotbed. Down south too.

California was fairly agnostic.

Michigan is full of catholics.

so confusing.

What I enjoy most about attempts to mimic my lexical abberancy is that in addition to making fun of me for perfectly understandable reasons, they manage to convey some aspect of my personality in a truthful manner despite replicating my diction in an incorrect one. (In this instance, my predilection for didactic conversation.)

Growing up, white kids are taught to fear the boogeyman. Black kids are taught to fear the cops.

[Madrun Badrun]

But I believe in a world where children, both white and black, fear the boogeyman and cops together.

We're getting there, and not in a good way. All this bullshit whites are saying about "militarizing police/police state" shit is stuff we've been dealing with since before electricity was an everyday thing.

[Madrun Badrun]

Also is a cop boogeyman a boogieman?

Any of yall read this yet? I hear good things.

I've seen it recommended by smartdumb fellows on thecoli for years now, but I might finally read it now that Ta-Nehisi Coates seems to be publically posting about it

This is older but along the same lines I think:


Not exactly the same subject, but some cac's really didn't like this book:

[benjipwns]

I can't remember if it's that latter book or not that posits the timing of the Civil Rights Movement taking off was related to WWII but not in the common way the narrative goes (everyone was brothers in war blah blah blah), that instead it was sparked by all the government was doing to try and improve the status of whites post war while going back to business as usual regarding blacks that exacerbated the visibility of the inequalities and inaction. Especially in regards to housing, education, work, etc.

I'm not mad considering the entire point of her saying this is to rustle a large response from black people, then play the victim card when someone calls her a name.

These people literally exist to be trotted out by white conservatives and say things they couldn't get away with. It's a game for profit. They write books, get TV appearances, etc while telling white conservatives what they want to hear: black people are lazy, uneducated, have a hive mind, etc.

We're gonna pretend like black people are the only uneducated people in fucking Louisiana? BTW, a state that is not currently benefiting from the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, which btw would help more white citizens of the state than black. They pay taxes - sales tax, state tax, gas tax, on and on.

PD called it Tumblr The Movie, which is also a perfect description.

It's kinda useless to get mad about imo because as long as white people are alive it's gonna happen. Not in the way that racism or even sexism is bad but in "they're just gonna copy whats hot to make money and it just so happens that culturally rich peoples (minorities) are always gonna get their shit jacked" kinda way. Until the pendulum swings the other way, and white youths suddenly become cool ouside of the occasional counter culture they get every few decades (skateboarding, metal and even skateboarding is lowkey kinda sus since it's heavily inspired by surfing which was originally a pacific islander thing but yeah).

And I mean where do we draw the line with "cultural appropriation" and "white person who grew up with this, this was their whole passion etc." Cultural appropriation to me is more along the lines of you were in a metal/hardcore band up until four years ago when you saw all the money was in EDM/DJing so you switched lanes even though you heart wasn't in it. Even then I have a hard time hating on someone hustling trying to make dollars unless their full on garbage tier.
