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.
Nope. Black is the new point of mind controlling. There was no "hey my nikka" back in africa.
And we are not discussing about other topics, this is about skin color, which you already said it was not a factor between our people.

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.
Trust me man.

@hustlemania what you got?

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

oh boy....... you dudes sound SCARED. that's what it is. FEAR because i know you dudes ain't gonna do shyt but sit down and AVOID motherfukkers, saying "revolution" from your house.

that's what i'm noticing. basically.... you fukkers GIVE UP. this reminds me of the time when i went to a job fair last month and you had two young black dudes talking shyt about how i was wearing a suit saying... "why is he wearing a suit? you know these white people aren't going to hire him anyway because he's black. being a housenegro won't get him anywhere. i'ma field slave". the same dudes probably turning around not even trying to better themselves PERIOD whether it's reading books or actually going to a job fair dressed to impressed willing to work. you see what i'm saying... being aware doesn't MEAN you have to literally live your life in fear where you don't want to SUCCEED or DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE or PUT YOURSELF IN A BOX WHERE YOU ARE LITERALLY HOLDING YOURSELF BACK. being aware means THINKING. you wear a suit to a job fair to help you GET a job. you read books to help you know more. you do things that basically open doors but motherfukkers be scared to touch door knobs to open doors because they're worried about upsetting racist white people that are going to hate them anyway whether they open the doors or not. that's what i'm talking about. fukkers be going like "because there's racist white people out there i'm NOT going to do this, that or whatever". fukk that shyt.

so let me ask you. what are you REALLY doing in this thread? are you supporting the bullshyt or fighting against it?

Being called "black" is something the slave masters created. Know your history before you judge.

No the fukk it isn't. I should neg you for this atrocious post

I can't believe people are trying to justify this. This is inferring there is something negative with being black and inversely positive being called your gender before race.

Being a black man is a great thing and at the end of the day, you were going to be black before your gender was even specified at conception.

Damn you c00ns and feminist who agree with this dumb shyt blow me

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.
it's just a bunch of lost brothas out here, man..

look at half the sh!t these folks say, listen to, let go by, etc.. sh!t ain't even baffling anymore.. these brothas would spite their own, just to be accepted by White folks.. peep the way talk.. look at the sh!t they believe to be factual..

we in the last days.. a lot of these n!ggas gonna die livin a lie.. :wow: let em be..

Why are you implying that's ab-soul's opinion?
I don't remember him being a c00n in front of the cameras :yeshrug:
I don't either. Or from his music...This is all based on one tweet.

I get his point and what he was trying to say...I just can't Co sign it at all. Mainly cause I'm aware that I'm perceived different due to my blackness at all times.

I don't really agree with him. But as a grown man, he should have the right to call himself whatever he wants to call himself. I guess he doesn't have that freedom based on how white ppl will view him huh?

Exactly.


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

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



They don't get it. And it's why this shyt will continue.

That wasn't my point. The point was that the same people who brainwashed him and that he is trying to cater to will never accept him as something other than what he is

Here's a wake up call for some of you cats, they don't want you to be proud of being black in no way, shape, or form. They want you to be an "acceptable ******" that's white washed and has no ties to black culture.

That's why you don't ever cac men saying dumb shyt like "I'm a man before I'm a white man."

He could be on some "we shouldn't be defined by our oppressors" type of shyt....but these entertainers usually disappoint and wouldn't DARE go against their "handlers" and say something even slightly pro-black.

Just based on what he *is* (An entertainer), my guess is that this is some Raven-Simone "I don't want to be associated with ******S because it's bad for my image" type of shyt. But I dunno....I've never even heard of this dude before so I don't really know what he's about. If this was, I dunno, Common or some shyt I'd give the benefit of the doubt probably but these young #newblacks are all more concerned about their pr than the livelihood of their kin so I can't put it past him to be doing the same.

Seems like many of "our" folks have bought into the white media narrative on Ferguson...and are now doing everything they can to distance themselves from anything that could label them as even slightly frustrated with this shytty country. They all just want to pretend that this is some kumbaya peace pipe indian circle shyt. Boy do I hate "our" entertainers.
