And then he has the gaul to throw the rappers and comedians under the bus in respect to the "N" word today on First Take. He also is one of those "only we can say it" dudes. He makes my ****ing blood boil when he talks about that stuff. It's like, "Yo man. Fall back. You're not the spokesman for the black race" SMFH |

However, I do think it's unfair for white people to introduce a word to demean a group of people, and then we take it and make it something that can be a positive,unifying, term. But because it makes white people uncomfortable now, so "Nobody should say it." I kind of feel like that's a group outside our race trying to dictate how we should interact with each other. Or just how to act in general. I don't think that's reasonable. Especially in all-black neighborhoods. You're not going to get those people to stop saying ****a based on how it makes white people (or anybody) feel. I do agree that black people haven't made it easy by creating a double standard. That's bullshit. But that's gradually melting away. But I disagree that it's "poison" or a negative term in all it's forms. I feel like I've had several positive experiences with people that aren't black using the word. |

RACE... i've often wondered whether or not to make my own thread, or post it in the Zimmerman thread or what, but since i'm here now and the ideas are flowing freely in this thread, here is my honest question...
When are black people going to finally say... yep, we've done it, we now feel as one with and equal with all of America, what in the name of God is the final measurement? Everything i've ever experienced, read or watched in my life tells me that black people truly permeate every strata of our society at the very highest levels... in business large and small, local and national politics, the military, police forces, Supreme Court judges, entertainment of every kind... sports, music, newscasters, tv and movie stars, authors, US statesmen of international renown. We have black universities, black websites, black television, black movie stations (which i have 0 problems with, as Dane said, there are pretty much 300 white entertainment televisions), lobbyists for black causes of every kind... in essence, black representation at every single level of our society at this point. I mean, when is this idea of unequal representation going to end? I'll now discuss two well known arguments that blacks often make... 1) "Its the shoddy public education systems that arent preparing our youth for the world" - first off, i went to public schools, and while not even close to rich, i enjoy my life. For the most part, i paid attention in school and got the education i deserved, pretty much every moderately to wildly successful person i know is the product of public schools... from business owners, to states attorneys, policemen, to district judges... public school graduates all. I've heard it before that "yeah but inner city kids get the worst teachers, apathetic school boards etc"... is anyone reeeally going to tell me that school boards across the nation sit down and deliberately say to one another "ok, we're going to ship our best teaching minds out to the white neighborhoods and send our thoughtless idiots to the blacks!"... if you believe that, i want a ****ing link to help bolster your hunch. If there IS some kind of dedication disparity in teachers, its because the teachers themselves choose it to be so, as far as i know,... maybe many dont want to deal with the apathy, violence and inner city attitude that cannot be denied that says being smart, talking proper english and basically paying attention isnt "keepin it real", that its "stupid" to try and be smart. 2) "There is a massive disparity between blacks in incarceration and whites in incarceration, particularly when it comes to drugs" - several years ago, a longtime policeman and i were having drinks together and i posed this question... "i've been to atleast 100 wild college parties and know for a fact that there is a crap ton of drugs in a given dorm or frat house, why do i never hear about massive drug raids on those guys?"... his answer was short... "thats because college kids arent blowing holes in each other over it, its the violence that keeps police cracking down on black neighborhoods". I'm just unable to listen to arguments that say the police are -FLAT OUT- out to get black people in particular, they hammer down on black neighborhoods because of the extreme amount of violence and nothing else, IMO. I'm open to any interpretation of this post, if you wanna knock me or the ideas contained here, knock yourself out... but i simply DO NOT see this massive apparatus that consciously holds down blacks. Is the idea to get rid of every single white person who just cant stand a darkie no matter what they do or who they are?... we all know thats not going to happen, you just cant rid the world of idiots, there's hundreds being born every day. You cant get rid of them any more than you can get rid of the black people who hate a cracker ass cracker for what they do or who they are... there is no perfect world outside of Heaven, but is there a world in which black people get an entirely fair shake? I believe it exists right now. |
