Black folks, where do ya'll draw the line...

[Insensitive]

About as interchangeable as neo soul and gangster rap, sure.

Jay-Z is clearly a neo-soul artist

From what I've seen they're used to drive home the same point which is often
to shame people for straying from an acceptable definition for what "Black" is.
The definitions that the public at large has given them don't seem to
differ much if at all.

They're different....very different as I've highlighted.

I'd never pigeonhole what black should be. I'm far too weird of a guy to do that, but I do know a c00n or an uncle tom when I see one. They're easy to spot.

Your font actually looks 3D on my computer. shyt is so hard to read. Why do you make it that bright blue?

Exactly as YOU'VE highlighted.
I'd say it fits more your own personal definition for these terms.
The line gets blurry with these terms that are essentially meant to
express the same thing at least that's how I see it.

"Uncle Tom" for example can be seen as an uppity black person self hating black person AS WELL AS a black person who fits longstanding stereotypes ie. Trinidad James.

Now they're just my personal definition of the terms?

....

Trinidad James is not an Uncle Tom. He does not represent what an Uncle Tom is in any fashion.


Ahhhh fukk it. I'm going to sleep.

"all black women act like loud mouth bytches" like he did in this thread.

:luke: i aint defending chris.b, but i notice y'all always like to add that "all" word when nobody actually says it.

The terminology you're looking for is "Uncle Tom", not "c00n".

c00n is a black person who lives up to the negative stereotypes whites put on us...they embrace it...oftentimes for the profit of the dollar from massa.

examples of c00ns: Waka Flocka, Trinidad James, Tracy Morgan(IMO), Tyler Perry, many users on the Coli


An Uncle Tom is a black person who distances himself from his identity as a black man as well as black culture in order to kiss up to, take on the characteristics of, and to be on the same mental wavelength as white people in hopes of successfully assimilating himself into their culture and favor.

Uncle Tom Definition - A Black Person who is eager to win the approval of whites


Many would argue that what Trinidad James and others like him do is behavior fitting of an Uncle Tom.
They conform to a caricature to appease whites and win their approval or financial support in the form of record sales.
Doing so he also fits what we call "C***ning" by of course appealing to
age old racist imagery.
I'd say the same goes for other rappers you've previously named among other figures in the public.
Whether they're behaving like uncouth neanderthals or house negro's in a new uniform.
