" #newblack :mjpls: "
This is what I can co-sign. People of African decent have been fighting to have their humanity recognized for how long?

I just can't stand it when people wanna run away from their blackness and think they are beyond the collective black struggle when it's not the case. We've always faced unique circumstances due to our history.

A gay black male ..with that rainbow shyt in your Sig ..you been confused ..this isn't anything new

i'm NOT confused, breh. trust me when i say this. i think you are.

just know that you dudes actually are playing into the same shyt that you're against.

notice the folks from back then were basically FORCED to acknowledge it where they had to fight back. they HAD no choice. nowadays, folks are living around that shyt to the point where they incorporate that shyt to their lives then wanting to fight back when folks get bold. they think that because they have black skin, they should only do CERTAIN things or live their lives in a square box on some bullshyt mentality where they have to "act black" despite there being NO such thing as "acting black" or "acting white", it's just racist shyt and sad enough, the same racist fukks that they hate so much are cosigning them and are like "yeah.... you know YOUR place".


you probably think that you have to listen to rap and r&b all the time because you're black or you have to live your life a certain way. the point of MLK and malcolm x and the civil rights movement was so that WE basically could have the same opportunities and freedoms and avoid being restricted in a society that didn't want us to have ANYTHING simply because we're black. they didn't want us to be educated. they didn't want us to have money. they didn't want us to succeed. they want us to be fukked up. that's what these racist fukkers want. we were excluded out the history books and etc. we were basically told that we didn't matter. the government decided to give us some of our basic rights later BUT that shyt didn't change the overall mentality of the public that was conditioned to think that such was normal. the irony is that these racist fukkers have NO problems with someone who is white basically coming over and doing the same shyt that you're doing. go figure. here you are worried and scared of them. the racist fukks HATE it when you challenge their asses or REFUSE to stay in the spot that they want you to be in.

All these posts of "what will cops label him as?" and "white foke think you black" prove his point. You morons are too obtuse to understand the fact that you have allowed racist white people to label you your entire lives. If it were 100 years ago you all would be beating your chests bragging about being 3/5ths of a man.

They label us as monkeys. I guess that's what we are too :troll:

Exactly.
I wonder what cacs and the police label him as:ohhh:

Cacs, nor police govern my soul or perception of self.

If someone wants to label you a slave do you have to accept it?

:what: What are you talking about? Nobody used the word "black" to identify themselves. Of course africans had different point of views from different people of the continent but it doesn't mean they viewed fellow brothers as inferior beings.

I'm saying that people will always find something to identify themselves with. Black is just the new point of identity.

As for whether Africans have ever viewed fellow brothers as inferior beings, that's up to how well you know history. If you understand that within the continent there were several empires/tribes – whose members had allegiance only to the members of their communities – then you won't be quick to dismiss the possibility that Egyptians viewed the empires of the East (Ethiopia) as inferior and vice-versa. Definitely not because of skin color of course, but most likely because of differences in religious beliefs/culture and customs.

:salute:

nikkas trying to throw the term #newblack around when they dont even know their own history. :wow:
these fukking idiots man.

many panthers were saying the same fukking shyt during the civil rights movement.

these cacs got all these nikkas in here confused. nikkas even talking about but but go outside and see what they label you, like these nikkas are the administrators of school and we are the students. you already lost by saying that because you view them as the superior monitor.

what hes saying is fukk your label, Im a man. hes not necessarily saying hes not black, hes black in africa but they dont use the term black man, its just man there. he wants the same to apply here.

why is it we call each other african american, but they dont use european american. oh so they are good american but we are african american? fukk outta here we been here just as long, in fact, we been here longer than 2/3 of them who barely came in the late 1800 great european migration.

Acknowledging what you 're viewed isn't playing into shyt . It's called being aware ..

I'm a man campaign pics from the 60s ..How well did that work out paz ??


You got cacs calling black ppl cacs in this thread just to fucc with you ..don't you see what you're up against ??

Clearly we all are men...Do you think these cacs give a fucc ?? When they sent dogs after our babies n women ...did they give a fucc that we are men ??



Man fucc out of here with your silly shyt..causing confusion...you falling right into these pasty crackers hands

notice that it's the racist fukkers projecting themselves onto him that want him to feel a certain way about himself because the color of his skin. that's what it is. you yourself are playing onto the shyt. i seriously hope you don't live your life around that shyt simply to avoid these racist fukkers. they hate it when you don't play along to what they do. when you challenge them, they get mad. they gonna hate you whether you talk proper english or broken english because of your skin color so why should they matter? the only reason you should be concerned is if they can possibly harm you. then you should fight back accordingly.

you are basically saying "i'm going to hold myself back from living life because i'm black". "i'm not going to go to the store in a certain neighborhood because i might get killed". "i'm not going to try to socialize with a white person because they might be racist because they have white skin although the way i am thinking is basically the same way a racist white person thinks so i'm being racist myself", "i'm not going to educate myself because people will insult me because they don't believe black men can be smart or intelligent". you can't live your life in fear, man because of some fukkers that are ignorant and living their life in fear. you don't realize it but you're playing into the same race card that you hate. hell, and assuming every white person is racist because they're white is racist. not every white person is racist, breh. not every white person has that mentality. some do, some don't. you should treat people according to who they are. not how they look or what their characteristics are. you know how it is and how it feels so why would you do the same thing. if a motherfukker is being racist in front of you, move according but don't assume shyt until someone comes out their hole, breh. you should be aware of it because yes, america is a racist ass society where people think that way BUT that's PEOPLE though. there's plenty of racist people out there. to assume that only white people can be racist is a huge mistake. you gotta be aware BUT being aware doesn't mean living in fear or holding yourself back.
I didn't get that from his post....I got the message that as a black person in this society you got to be aware of how you can be perceived possibly at all times. People have lost their lives for being in a starry eyed "race doesn't matter" mindstate. You can't tell the next generation of black children to be on that ish...it's not helpful. Schooling black people on navigating a white supremacist society is one thing...telling them that racism is just "hurt feelings and insults" like you've alluded to is another. There's a whole system in place designed to make it more than "hurt feelings and insults".

I can't believe there are black folks that haven't paid attention to the larger frame of reference in regards to American Life due to history. There's more at play here.
